135 Years of Ministry in Wyoming has been well documented over the years, and so thankful for those who helped put our displays together! These displays will still have all these great nuggets from the history of God's work in this little corner of creation! May our story continue to reflect God's goodness through good and bad. These displays will be out for several weeks, so don't hesitate to check it out when you stop for worship!
