Good morning Banner County, friends near and far! Beautiful weather just in time for Easter. We still have a little snow piled here and there, but I suspect that the high temperatures and high winds will take care of that.
As far as Easter, our church buildings are open, which is super great and hopefully families will continue to celebrate together.
