Keeping Our History Alive

Do you have old or new or anything in between of photos from our church history, functions, programs, fellowships, decorating, etc.? I can scan old photos or download anything digital from a CD/DVD or a flash drive. All photos will be returned to you. The photos will be in a large collage and displayed at our 60th anniversary celebration in November of this year. Please, make sure to put your name on your photos, so I may return them to you. For those of you who have shared your photos with me the last couple of years, I still have them. Any questions, call or text me at 816-289-6842. Please, leave a message if I'm unable to answer. My email address is echoes.shadows@att.net Thank you - Linda Kueck
