A few Fridays ago, church members were at the Stake Center cleaning and a gentleman gave these pamphlets to one of the cleaners. He was going through things and he found these in his father’s things.

It’s really neat to see things from the 1940s and to see how our church doctrine and ideals haven’t changed. It’s also neat to see the old church building address and times written on the discussion pamphlet ♥️ We are grateful for our Savior and we are grateful for our heritage!
