“Gathered in these times, in person and via technology, we acknowledge and rejoice with faithful generations, including in historic ‘over Jordan’ communities, who have, here at heart, made this valley home,” the 66-year-old Gong prayed in dedicating the 7.5-acre site at 2603 W. 4700 South, according to a Saturday news release. “We celebrate the continuing legacy and promise of their righteous lives and examples.”
