Fountain Green Sesquicentennial Celebration

The great citizens of Fountain Green has again overwhelmed everyone with a Hollywood style live production of the history of our fair city. From the early settlers, through the deadly Blackhawk Indian War, to a vibrant community and of friends and families. As usual the volunteers both adult and youth put a valiant effort to thrill the community. Many thanks to everyone who helped remind us of our heritage as new families settled and help grow this great city.

Edna Johnson Christensen 1920 - 2009

A best friend to everyone in Fountain Green and Sanpete County was laid to rest in the arms of our Lord this day. When we moved to Fountain Green a little over a year ago, Edna was the first to welcome us to church and the community. She was a dear and close friend to my grandparents Leland and Relda Despain and my parents told me of many stories of love she showed to the community. She offered a book of family history for us to copy but unfortunately we had to return it before we had a chance to fully study her work. She and Owen offered many times for us to come to their home and learn the stories and also have them teach us how to grow a vegetable garden. A true friend to everyone she met. There is no doubt the Lord had his arms open to accept her into his kingdom. Thanks Edna for your friendship and love.

5 Years Of Service & More to Come ...

Today in Sacrament Service we all sustained and at the same time gave a spirit of thanks to the "old" Bishopric and welcomed the new. After serving for five years the first and second counselors were released and new counselors were called to serve with Bishop Walker. A great thanks for the sacrifice of Wade Johnson and Derrin Owens. Although released they were immediately called to serve in new callings.

The New Bishopric is Bishop Walker, Scott Aagard and Jed Bailey. Everyone sustained their callings and we look forward to sacred advise, counsel and direction from them. The Fountain Green 2nd Ward is indeed blessed with great leaders. Thanks!
