by Julia Snethen & Marge Zink

Morning message at the Rockville United Methodist Church was conducted by Pastor Linda Wansing entitled “We area Promise” taken from Mathew 3:13-17. You are always welcome to join us for worship Sunday at 9 a.m. and Bible study Tuesday morning 9 a.m.

Mt. Zion area has enjoyed being out of the deep freeze and enjoyed warmer temperatures, more like we like winter to be.

We had a happy dog in the Mt. Zion area, Belle got to make some snow angels for several days when we had our recent snow. Speck and Petey had a good time recently; but Belle had the biggest smile. Robin and Mabel have another little person in their life.

We wish Gerry Kenny a speedy recovery from his hip surgery.

Wanda Rector enjoyed holidays with family.
