To our graduates: stay on the road less traveled. It is
the one that will lead you home to heaven!
The Road Not Taken
By Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one
traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the
undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn
them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had
trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I
doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and
ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that
has made all the different.
Yours in Christ,
Gene

Dear Friends at West Walnut,
We want to say thank you for your
support for Salt Christian Church here in
Utah and especially for your special gift
of $125.00 toward our matching gift
fund. As of a couple of weeks ago, we
are happy to report that we finally
reached our goal of $10,000. We will
receive that much in additional funds.
This has greatly helped us make it
through this season when attendance
and offerings have been down. We still
continue to have a lot of visitors coming
to church. This year we have had at least
one first time guest every Sunday. This
last Sunday we had 12 first time visitors.
Attendance & offerings have picked up
the past couple of months. We had 79
here on Sunday. We still have a ways to
go before we become completely self
supporting. We look forward to
achieving that goal, as well as the goal of
planting other new churches in this place
where there are so few Christian
Churches.
Again, we say thanks for choosing to
be a partner with us in expanding the
Lord’s Kingdom on this earth. May
together we be faithful in boldly
proclaiming the “Good News” about
Jesus so that many will know the truth
and come out of darkness into His
marvelous light.
In the Love of Jesus
Louie & Lisa Captain
For Salt Christian Church
