Elders and Family,

Happy New Year! I hope all is going well for you and yours. Enclosed below is our update. Please take note of the attached calendar for June. It has several updates to it I am certain that you and your family will find helpful such as- YM & YW Activities, EQ Assignments, Den Meetings, Activity Days, etc. Also this calendar is available at our Sandy Hills Ward Website on LDS.org and will be updated monthly if not sooner. If you have an activity date please let me know and I’ll get it up on the calendar.

Enclosed below is our update

-Provident Living Workshop: Thursday night at the Ward House starting at 7:00 PM. Tips on financial planning for the family and even the little ones. Come one, come all.

-Remember this week the EQ is in charge of removing snow from the walks at the Church. Please if you can please volunteer by calling Doug Oviatt to help clear the walks. The Ward does have a great snow blower that works really well. Otherwise we have a shovels and salt at the Ward House. Call Doug at 801-440-9854 to help or watch for his number! J

-We will be canceling our EQ Temple Night January 21^st due to a scheduling conflict with a RS activity. Please note that. I will be re-confirming new dates with the Draper Temple so that we can still forecast out our temple night. We will resume it in February. Thanks for you patience!
