Special Book of Mormon Geography Event: Wayne May - 2/12/22

Special Book of Mormon Geography Event: Wayne May is Coming to Independence - SAVE THE DATE: 2/12/22

Want to learn more about evidence springing forth out of the earth, and the latest science lending support to a Nephite/Lamanite presence in North America?

Wayne May will be in Independence on Saturday, February 12, 2022 to share on "Archaeology that Supports the North America Setting for the Book of Mormon."

Wayne's talk will take place between 10:30 am and 12:30 pm at:
The Remnant Church of Jesus Christ
Gathering Place Worship Center
2820 M 291 Frontage Road
Independence, MO 64057

The doors will open at 9:45 am. Wayne and his wife Kris will be bringing books, DVDs, maps and other items to sell which lend support to the Heartland (of America) model as the geographical setting for the Book of Mormon. These materials, when combined, provide a strong testimony of what Joseph knew, what the Nephites and Lamanites left behind, and where we might find the Lamanites today.

This event is free due to the generosity of The Remnant Church of Jesus Christ. It will NOT be live streamed.

Emotional Support Group Meeting
 
A few Restoration Branches have come together and formed an Emotional Support Group. The purpose of this group is to support each other in our struggles and trials including, but not limited to depression, anxiety, addiction, and anger. With the help of God, the Great Physician, and the support and love from each one of the Saints that are going through similar trials, we can provide a safe place to heal and become the best we can be. Our next meeting will be Saturday, February 12. Please contact me for the time so I can get an idea of how many are interested in this type of ministry.

Please contact Jane at
 

Your Sister in Christ,

Memorial Service for William Darrell Colburn

From: Fayellen Ely



Memorial Service for William Darrell Colburn

Memorial Service - Carson Speaks Chapel 1501 W. Lexington Ave. Independence MO 64052 2/1/2022 at 2:00 PM

William Darrell Colburn was born to Thomas F Colburn, Jr and Patricia Berigan Colburn Slavin on January 16, 1958, in New York, NY; he was the youngest of 5 boys. As the youngest, he had many stories of the shenanigans that his brothers, and he, would get into. He never had sisters, but the daughters of Henry and Nancy Quante were great surrogates and he had fond memories of times spent in their home. At the age of 17 he joined the United States Marines Corps, serving from 1975-1977. After leaving the Corps, Bill moved to the Kansas City area. It was here that he spent his life as a young man, discovering what he wanted to do as a profession, marrying and later divorcing, and making friends such as John and Angel Rinehart. It was during this time that Bill solidified his desire to work on equipment and repairing things, settling into a position as an operating engineer at the Argyle building. In 1999 he met a young lady who would become a vital part of his life, his wife Karen. They married in 2001, beginning their life together in his home in Belton. 2005 brought two major changes to their life: the Argyle building closed and they decided to purchase a home. In true Bill and Karen style they took on finding a new job and house at the same time. They settled in a home in Independence, Missouri in March and Bill took a job as an operating engineer for Dillards in April. In 2007 Bill was offered the opportunity to switch from operating engineer to elevator and escalator mechanic and jumped at the opportunity. He would often say how many places would offer such an opportunity to a 50-year-old man (he wasn’t actually 50 yet, but close enough.) In 2009 he was blessed with another opportunity that doesn’t often visit 50-year-old men; he was to become a father. His son, William Darrell Colburn, Jr., was born July 31, 2010 and became the best thing to ever happen to Bill. He loved his son and was so proud, not only of him, but to be his dad. In 2013 Bill and Karen decided they wanted to raise little Bill in a rural environment and bought the “farm” in Turney, Missouri. It came as a surprise that the born and bred city boy wanted a small-town life, but Bill thoroughly enjoyed living in the country. They took on raising Labradors in 2016 and spent many evenings building dreams about what they would do with their “farm”. Bill had also developed a love of cruising, taking 3 Caribbean cruises between 2017 and 2020. He said cruising was the best vacation because you got to see new places every day and the hotel just went with you. Bill was a devoted father, husband, employee, and friend. He would do whatever he could to help out and prided himself in being dependable and knowledgeable. He loved his wife and son above anything else and worked hard to provide for them the life he believed they deserved. Bill Colburn has left an indelible mark on the lives of those he touched, taught so many things to so many people, and impacted the lives of more people than he probably even realized. His absence will leave a hole in the lives of those he touched, but his legacy will live on in the lessons he taught.
