Jamie Child, an Ogden cello player, and Ryan Bell, an Ogden bass player, also took part in the recital which presented some works of J.S. Bach. An article in the Standard Examiner on April 23'^'' featured some members of the First United Methodist Church in Marriott-Siaterville that have taken up beekeeping at the church, turning it into a ministry that raises money for the congregation. The ministry began three years ago when Kristen Bell wanted to raise bees like she had in her youth in Vermont. She realized she didn't have the space for them at her own residence, so she approached the church, which sits in the middle of an agricultural zone and already has interests in gardening and agriculture.
