The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Michigan began with the Mack family. Almira Mack
Scobey had gone to Kirtland, Ohio to visit her cousin Joseph Smith and there they joined the church.
On June 7th, 1831 Doctrine and Covenants, Section 52 was received which among other things
commanded another one of Mack Scobey's cousins Hyrum Smith and also John Murdock to go to Detroit
and preach the gospel on the way to Jackson County, Missouri. These two brethren went to Michigan in
company with Mack Scobey and Hyrum's (and Joseph's) mother, Lucy Mack Smith. They were also
accompanied by Lyman Wight and John Corrill. The missionaries eventually went to Pontiac, Michigan
where they had much success, baptizing several people, including David Dort, the husband of one of the
Mack sisters. Read More (PDF). Submitted by Hal Pierce

"Hymns of Alexander Schreiner" Alexander Schreiner believed strongly that everyone should serve God to the best of their ability. He was highly respected as an organist by several religious groups, including one of the largest Jewish congregations in the world. Ultimately, his hymns reflected his deep faith in Christ in melodies such as “In Memory of the Crucified” and “Truth Eternal.” After a successful career in California, he returned to Utah for the remainder of his life and helped oversee the reconstruction of the Tabernacle organ in the late 1940s.
