Our ward's Bishop Bridges and his wife, invited both of the senior couples in the ward, and the elders serving in our ward,for dinner.

The Arvidsons, who used to live up the coast near Toukley, now live in our ward. He works at church offices and needed to live closer to work. Malcolm and Helen are dedicated to doing whatever is needed to further the work of the Lord. (And they love to spend time with their grandchildren.)

Helping Primary children with new FamilySearch

Primary children gathered to learn about family history -- Sister Diane Andrews, family history centre director, in foreground. They sang Primary songs, filled out family group sheets, and listened to their Primary president bear heart-felt testimony of the importance of families.


These children's Primary leaders wanted the children to experience a little of new FamilySearch. Each child came prepared with a completed pedigree chart and their own membership record.
