Fellowship Baptist Church

My membership is no longer active there. My dad held the pulpit as pastor at Fellowship Baptist Church for about ten years, while teaching at LaBarge Elementary School for many years. My family was The Singing Knudson’s, and we had a Christian radio broadcast on KMER Radio, in Kemmerer for 25 years, and KVNU, Logan, Utah, for ten years. We understood that we had a missionary family who happened to live in LaBarge. We were hated by many, as I had to transfer to Kemmerer Jr. High, due to bullying throughout my elementary school years. In Kemmerer, it didn’t stop as I was physically, emotionally , and mentally assaulted, by teachers and students alike. My Sophomore year, my dad retired from teaching, and since LaBarge sits so close to the Lincoln and Sublette County line, the Kemmerer School Board and Sublette County School Board, decided together that I and my younger brother, David, could ride the school bus together from LaBarge to Big Piney High School, to finish school. dad also held the pulpit at the Big Piney Baptist Church. The Deacon held the only key to the church. During the cold winter nights, our family of six, two girls and two boys, would often sit in a car with blankets across our legs, because it was too cold for the cars heater to work. Often, during the 1960s & 1970s, our family would drive the 20 mile to Big Piney, just to have a service by ourselves. And then we would drive home.
