Hello beloved sisters and brothers,
General Conference
This Saturday and Sunday will be the April General Conference! Click on the links below to see how to watch.
Welcome Brothers
On Saturday, March 25, two new members of our stake made baptismal covenants. Miles Thompson, of the Morningside Ward was baptized by his father, David. And Becker Pinero was baptized later in the evening by Elder Taylor and become a member of the Millrace Ward. We welcome and congratulate these precious brothers as they begin their journey on the covenant path.
Flood Preparation
The Utah Area Presidency has asked each of us to make timely preparations for potential flooding due to record snow and rainfall this winter. Brother Ryan Griffin of the High Council sent an email to all stake members this past week with information and links to resources for planning and preparation. Hard copies of these resources have been distributed to each ward and are meant to be shared with all neighbors. We invite ward leaders, ministering sisters and brothers to ensure everyone in our community has access to these resources for their safety and well-being.
You Are Called to the Work - Senior Missionary Service
The Utah Area Presidency has invited all members of the church aged 50 and older to prepare and plan to serve a mission. Follow this link to an informative and motivational devotional with Elder Kevin W. Pearson, Area President.
Easter Egg Hunt: Saturday, April 8, 2023
On Saturday, April 8 at 9 AM, the Community Connections Committee will host our annual Community Easter Egg Hunt. This is a fun way to share time with neighbors, friends, and loved ones. We are collecting candy and eggs in preparation for this fun event. Please bring donations to Sita Jasper’s home. Please call 801-599-8233
Easter Services
In commemoration of Easter, special services will be held in each ward at the regularly scheduled times on Sunday, April 9. No other meetings should be held on this day so that families and friends may gather and celebrate this sacred occasion. We invite all members to prayerfully consider who you should invite to worship with you.
Weekly Message: “Whether By Mine Own Voice…”
On Saturday and Sunday, we have the distinct privilege of hearing God’s voice through a living prophet and apostles.
For most of the history of the world, the privilege of hearing a prophet or apostle speak as the mouthpiece of God was only available to a select few. Yet our generation, who have been reserved and assigned to prepare the world for the Second Coming of Christ, has access to God’s message of hope and salvation like never before.
With every passing day, the ability to hear and share the word of God is expanding in answer to the increasing efforts of the adversary to minimize and marginalize discipleship to Jesus Christ.
April General Conference is our next and best opportunity…
How much time will we spend listening/learning?
Will we place the proper value and attention on this great privilege?
What challenges or questions will we actively consider as we listen?
And as Elder Bednar likes to ask…
What will we hear [through the Holy Ghost] that was not spoken [by the speaker]?
I testify that we are living the fulfillment of prophecies made anciently…that the knowledge of God is literally filling the earth. (Habakkuk 2:14)
Let’s take full advantage of this great blessing by approaching each session of the conference with a desire to hear the Savior’s direction for us and feel His love.
This conference has the double blessing of occurring on Palm Sunday…one week before Easter.
My hope and invitation for each of us, is that we will allow the messages shared in General Conference by the speakers (and by the Holy Ghost) to draw us closer to the Savior.
I love you all,
President Gardner
