I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels during the holiday weekend! I am thankful for Wasatch Presbyterian Church, our growing community of faith, and the opportunity to serve here. Our children are a great blessing!

Wishing you many blessings,

She will begin practice this Sunday in the choir loft at 10:10-10:25. She will gather any interested children in the fellowship hall at coffee hour each Sunday and take them for practice.
