The congregation was started from d scratch in 1972 and meets now in a building complete with a sanctuary and classrooms. four-year-ol- to provide something for each By TOM BUSSELBERG KAYSVILLE - age group, the youthful minister says, and that in- Eight cludes AW AN A, which stands for Approved Workmen are not Ashamed, a Scout-typ- e organization for kindergarten-8t- h graders in two groups. It provides a good balance of physical and social involvement with spiritual training. Its coeducational, he explains. We are trying to encourage entire families to come and try to provide something for each age group. Since half of most congregations are young people under 16 that means working to meet their needs while theyre young, he emphasizes. years ago a Michigan couple moved to Kaysville with a special mission they were cal- d led to establish a church to serve that communitys needs. Bible-oriente- MR. AND Mrs. Ron Thompson, then recent graduates of the Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music, moved to Kaysville largely because he had heard about mission fields in Utah and Idaho while in high school. There was no church or congregation wating for them. In fact, upon arrival they had no members much less a building, in which to meet. It was visitation to make the community aware of a place where Bible study would be door-to-do- . available, Rev. Thompson says. WE HAD a building well before we had a congregation, he recalls. The group met in the old Presbyterian church that has housed many Protestant denominations since its construction in the late 1800s. People kind of had a wait and see attitude. But we were not at all unwelcome and weve been very pleased. Its a super town as far as the people are concerned. After conducting a Bible club for the youngsters, and a Sunday service, the group had grown to about 20 in just a year and today numbers about 100. In addition, six families who formerly attended there have formed the nucleus of a Bible Church formed since in Roy. THAT SECOND church was indeed part of the Thompsons mission, that of church planting, Rev. Thompson says. The couple are part of the Un- ited Missionary Fellowship which has churches not only in the west but throughout the United States and abroad. In outlining the churchs beliefs, Rev. Thompson stressed the Bible. In fact, of a statement of beliefs that led the list. We believe the Bible is God's totally trustinspired word worthy." IT IS stressed in a Sunday evening Family Bible Hour held at 6 p.m. and in the worship hour Sunday mornings at ,11 a.m. Different means are fjsed-tconvey the biblical message, he says. As we look :in the Bible, there are times when they are less formal to--: wards the Lord. The morning service, then, 'is more formal, and includes Congregational singing and a formal Bible message. The evening meeting, on the other hand, is less formal, Rev. Thompson says, with more use fellowship activities to bring the family together : in Bible study and appreciation. Classes are also conducted for all age groups during the 10 a.m. Sunday School "hour and 7 p.m. Wednesday prayer meeting is also offered. Cf music and LADIES Bible study is held every other Tuesday in a members home and a Bible Class is also held in Coalville under Rev. Thompsons direction. We felt it was important ; A BAPTISM IS performed by immersion, he says, and people can be baptized as soon as they understand the purpose. We believe people are not baptized into this church but as a testimony of their faith in Christ. God is Members believe the eternal Spirit Being, the only creator of all things and Rev. Thompson God, says the trinity is taught. We we do believe in the Trinity do not believe it is three Gods but one God existing eternally in three persons. thing. We believe in the Virgin birth and that Christ is God and was when He was here. In His death He was judged for our sins. That leaves to man, he continues, to accept His sacrifice in their place in a literal resurrection. Salvation, according to the credo or list of beliefs, is the result of faith alone. Good works, baptism, etc., have no part in securing this. But the list continues. After a person has become a true Christian, he will live a life pleasing to God. It will be the natural result of becoming a new person in Christ. They believe further, That a literal, eternal hell is the destiny of those who refuse Gods gift of eternal life. That the Blood of Christ paid completethe price of Gods ly for men just punishment upon sin. All that remains for man is to accept that sacrifice of Christ, as a gift from God, in mans behalf. years old by June 28 and not older than 6 is June 14.

If we had a JP court and the JP wasnt available we would then have to take them (suspects) to the (county) jail. You're still going to have to pay a fee, although probably not 30 percent. WHILE HE said he felt good about the professionalism in the circuit court, Mayor Sant said a JP court w ould not require sending 30 percent of the fees to the state.

So with two saw blades, no handles, a pocket knife, wood saw and scissors (no vice) she commenced. SPENDLNG MANY hours in her backyard saving, wittling, carving and nailing she completed a clever dollhouse complete with all the miniature furnishings. Her neighbor supplied her with scraps of material for the project. Mrs. Birkenfeld, (the former Carol Hyde) was reared on a farm in Kaysville. Their home, a lovely structure, has always been a part of Carols life, and she patterned the dollhouse after her home. THE STRUCTURE is com- pleted and features a porch swing, flower pots, baskets of miniature vegetables and fruits. She carved the front door, with ajack knife. It took her all one day. There are two bedrooms, a bath, kitchen, dining and living rooms. And every item in each room is a replica of the furniture in their farm home and each piece is handmade. THE TABLES, chairs, cradle, beds and other furniture are carved from wood. She has molded many items from clay and baked and painted them. Each room is well furnished. Each and every piece has been made with her artistic hands. People from have come to see the house. The project took six months to has shown herself to be quite the craftswoman. She constructed this realistic doll house with the aid of two saw blades, a picket knife, wood saw and scissors. Kaysville resident Carol Birkenfeld complete. MRS. BIRKENFELD is an artist. She does watercolors as well as oils and has painted some 200 oils and 18 watercolors. In addition she paints with pastels on velour and does pencil and pastel drawings of animals. Much of her work has been given to her children and grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends. ONE OF her favorite oils is that of her father, the late Rosel Hyde of Kaysville, Those who which is remember Mr. Hyde feel that Carol did a remarkable job painting her father. She began doing watercolors with very little instruction. came for a Her sister-in-lavisit last year and wanted to how Carol how to paint with well-don- e. watercolors. Working a short time, Carols determination brought successful results. together for AS A youngster she was al- ways drawing. Paper was high priced and not too plentiful and her parents did not buy it for their children to scribble on and waste. So in school she was always drawing in her books. She was scolded by her teachers for this throughout her school years. Delbert Lamb was the art instructor at Davis High when she attended there. She gained much knowledge on art from him. SHE WON second place in amateur division and an honorable mention with her work dt the Davis County Fair. It is an hour well spent to view her art pieces. She also does some ceramic work as well as making stuffed animals and dolls. She is seldom idle. She works with her hands and said, I have always wanted to leave lasting gifts to my family and friends, not something one can go out and buy, but something that is lovely, that was created and made by myself. CINDY BIRKENFELD got the dollhouse for being the first grandchild baptized a member of the LDS Church. All the children and other grandchil-dr- e received paintings. Carol was employed at the NCO Club at Hill AFB, retiring in March 1979. She and her husband, Delmar, reside at 279 W. 100 S., Kaysville. |
