Weekly Update February 21

Bishop's Message:

Brothers and Sisters,
Last Sunday afternoon, I had the opportunity to witness a baptism of a young woman in our ward who made the intentional decision to be baptized and enter into a covenant with the Lord. It was a blessing of the gathering of Israel and the wonderful missionary work that is going on around us.

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited by the missionaries to fast and pray for missionary opportunities. I am grateful for that invitation. And, since then I have had the opportunity to witness this baptism, as well as share my testimony with several individuals over the past couple of weeks. What a blessing.

I would invite you to seek opportunities to help gather Israel on both sides of the veil. Pray for those opportunities. As you do so, you will witness the blessings of the gathering of Israel take place right before your eyes.

We all have the opportunity to participate in Roots Tech this next week (Feb. 25-27), also. I would encourage you to attend a session or a few to learn how you can write your family story and learn about your ancestors that the prophecy may be realized that we will turn our hearts to our fathers and our fathers will turn to their children (Malachi 4:6).

I love you and pray for you.

Bishop Cox

Virtual Attendance in Sacrament Meeting

If you are attending sacrament meeting online, we are tracking and reporting your attendance. However, we would love to know if you are with other family and friends while you are attending. We are only seeing each login to the meeting as one participant, but would love to know if there is more than one person watching online. Due to this issue, if you attend sacrament meeting with more than one person, please text, call, or email Bro. Pittman to let him know how many attended sacrament meeting online.
