OGDEN — Ogden First Baptist Church/New Beginnings Christian Church, “Together in Faith,” is extending an invitation to interested men in the community to join with members at 11:30 a.m. Thursdays for prayer and study at the church, 2519 Jefferson Ave., near the Weber County Library.

“Over the next weeks, we’ll be looking at the book of Nehemiah, with the goal of understanding how Nehemiah’s prayer life can be a model for men today — in our churches, in our homes and in our communities,” states a news release from the church. “From time to time, we also expect to be involved in service projects within our neighborhood.”

OGDEN — The Emmanuel Church of God in Christ will celebrate its 73rd church anniversary at 3:30 p.m. Sunday.

Few members, however, will hear about the greatest mom of all: Heavenly Mother.

OGDEN — State Sen. Stuart Reid stood Monday afternoon on the east side of Washington Boulevard marveling as a giant crane lifted a massive steeple and gently placed it atop The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Ogden Utah Temple.

Sunlight glinted off the golden spire as five construction workers secured it to the building that’s undergoing extensive renovations.

“You will be able to see it (the spire) for miles,” said Reid, R-Ogden. “It demonstrates the great progress of rebuilding the temple.”
