Did you notice our directory changed?!
The online photo directory by LifeTouch, who took member photos in 2019, is no longer available to us. Hosting of that website ended. We have a new directory with information from our member software, Realm, and are sharing that. The password to the page is the same, faith1944. Use this also to open the directory. Please know this is a work in progress. Feel free to call for information. And as always, please let us know of info changes. Thank you!
