“The Book” has been preserved electronically! Yes, that red ledger everyone signs when agreeing to become a member has been preserved through Bob Burdick’s great digital photography skill. From that first page starting with Joshua Leonard and several others who “signed” (those first few year’s worth of names were actually copied over) on September 3, 1838, to those many pages later when seven people signed the book on November 20, 2005, the book has now been digitally photographed. So, give Bob a pat on the back or “thanks” when next you see him.
We now have an additional web page related to MMUUS history. If you enjoy a stimulating sermon, you will find several of them from our past settled ministers (and from favorite daughter, Rev. Elizabeth Padgham) you can link to. If you find time to read them, tell me your favorite. I’ll keep a running tally and provide the results later.
