Huntsville Senior Center

On going service? that is the "norm" for the Huntsville Branch. They got the idea to decorate the local Senior Center in a "Holiday" spirit. It was very well received and appreciated. But who was affected more? It may be hard to tell because the enthusiasm just keeps going. Every holiday or special occasion off they go again-to the Senior Center to decorate. It cannot be estimated how much joy these sisters bring into the lives of the Seniors who live there and those who work there as well.

Marshallese Temple Trip

The Springdale 3rd Branch enjoyed their first ever Marshallese Temple Session in the Marshallese language!

Words cannot express the joy felt by members of all ages who joined together to renew covenants, worship, and fellowship.

 The Temple brings us together, as families, as friends, and as a Branch. We love the Lord and His Church.
