Time destroys paper.

Already some of the historical church newspaper articles are yellow with age. Unless special precautions are taken to preserve our history, it will fade away to nothing. Fortunately Judy Austin has a background in preserving historical documents and has agreed to share her knowledge. Under her guidance the History Ministry Team has begun the task of organizing and inventorying the contents of the vault.
