"We have traveled through the pages of the past and the present. We have come to the future. Most of the pages are yet to be filled. Let us fill them with evidence of our love for the Lord and our love for each other." "The future - tell your children of it and let your children tell their children. May our church continue to grow in numbers, stewardship, and in all of those ways that enhance the Glory of God." -103- Adams, John Abrens, John Allen, Richard Ball, Roland Banfield, Durell Bidwell, Marilyn Birtles, Ronald Bissey, John Biziorek, Evelyn Biziorek, Raymond Blount, Dale Blount, Joan Bordine, Kenneth Brewer, Connie Brown, Annabel Bussard, William Bye, Nikoline Carey, Elinor Carey, Michael Carlson, Hope Cassel, Gerald Carson, Michael Christopherson, Karen Connell, Elaine Crane, John Crawley, Beverly Crawley, Harold Croftchick, Gregory Daab, Rerry Dain, Floyd Decker, Louise Dees, Mildred Denheeten, Christine RULING ELDERS - 1971-1996 Form, Arnold Fountain, Arthur Fountain, Marjorie Franklin, Mary Franklin, Willian Gartner, Bruce Gillingham, William Gorton, Peter Graham, Elmer Griffendorf, Henry Hall, Phyllis Hamel, Helen L.
