Penn Valley Church Organized
On September 17, 1977 the
Penn Valley Church was organ-
ized under the leadership of
Northern's President Philip
Follett and Conference Treas-
urer Richard Roderick.
L.ate in 1975, the Grass Val-
ley Church laid plans for a
ranch Sabbath School In the
Ready Springs School House.
When they discovered that not
only would the rent be extra-
ordinarily high but they would
be restricted in the type of ser-
vices they could have, they
looked for another facility.
Olive Robinson, owner of the
Indian Springs School House,
acreed to let the group use her
building, if arrangements could
be made with Ken Iarper of
the Church of Christ, who had
a contract for its use.
Nye, Harper agreed, provided
they would help clean and re-
pair the building. Rent was set
at S10 per month.
Throughout 1976 several work
bees by Grass Valley members
were conducted to improve the
meeting place. Elder Harv Ev-
ens and Harry Swanson spent
three hours sanding, polishing
and cleaning the seats. The pi-
ano was also in very poor con-
dition, so lHarlyn Abel per-
formed the necessary repair
work. Others from Grass Valley
worked diligently to get this
Jranch Sabbath School under
Way.

orev, and on April 30, 1977,
then-Conference President Hel-
muth Retzer led out in organ-
izing the group into a company.
Still further growth led to the
orcanization of the Penn Valley
Church in September.
Happy new members of the Penn Valley congregation are organ-
ized into a church.
