Upcoming Events

-Primary Activity, August 15^th , 11:30 to 1:30, Hatches House. The Primary will be having fried chicken, watermelon, fruits and veggies and cookies. The theme is ‘Fun with Church Leaders’ and boy, do we have some fun things planned. We need some grown-up help, so if anyone wants to volunteer, we’ll accept any takers.

-Temple Sealing, August 18^th at 7:00 PM. Please arrive by 6:30 and be dressed and in the Sealing Waiting Area upstairs in the temple. We have room for 8 men and 8 women to participate. Usually it takes about 2 hours from the time you enter the temple for a sealing session. I would plan to be there from 6:30ish to 8:30.

-Temple Dedication- Sunday, August 23^rd, 3:00 PM Stake Center. The interviews for recommends will be done by the Bishopric. They will start these in the next week or two. We will have more announcements regarding this and how to get an interview. The dedication is open to all baptized members of the Church who have received a recommend. In preparation for the dedication it is recommended that you do a Family Night focusing on the temple and what it means. We will have no Sunday meetings (no sacrament meeting, etc.). Additionally it may be nice to review why we do The Hosanna Shout and have a hanky for your children.
