Please be back with us at 6 PM tonight to hear anotherinspiring message from Clyde Payne.

We have all been impacted in some way by the San Diego fires this past week. Some evacuated their homes for a few days; many suffered and are still suffering from the effects of the smoke and ashes. However, we can be thankful that we are safe and still have our homes. If you know someone who needs help due to the fires please contact the Elder's with the necessary information. The Melrose Congregation and many other congregations stand ready to help.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IS SWIFTLY APPROACHING:   Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour on Sat night Nov. 3 rd .  That's next weekend!!
