Churches can get help remembering the past and preparing for the future at a special workshop next Saturday at Whitworth College.

“Links to the Past and Links to the Future: Your Church’s Archives and Web Site” will be offered from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Harriet Cheney Cowles Memorial Library on campus.

The workshop is designed for pastors, church historians and administrative assistants. It will cover how to develop a Web site, how to find free Web-site graphics, how to determine what items have historical value and how to preserve church records.

The session is free, but those planning to attend are asked to register in advance by calling 777-4433.
