If you would like to share some of your “favorite” LCDR memories, we would love to capture them!  We can meet with you, record, or tape these for you or you can also send them in an email or word document.  Please contact Arrielle at the church office 605-428-3197 to set up a video time or email your information to lcdr@siouxvalley.net.  In addition, we will soon be introducing a “Living Memory Wall” where you can add a personal note, remembrance, or share a picture.
