Weekly Update April 10

Bishop's Message

Brothers and Sisters,
 
I hope you had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed General Conference. It is wonderful to hear from the prophet of the Lord and the other leaders of the Church. I hope that you will review the messages that were shared in Conference regularly. I know as you do so you will be blessed with inspiration and be able to hear Him more often in your life.
 
I felt several different promptings as I listened to Conference last weekend. A few things that I felt:
I loved President Nelson's invitation: "As we listen to the messages that have been carefully prepared by our leaders under the direction of the Holy Ghost, I invite you to pray to identify the debris you should remove from your life so you can become more worthy." That message and invitation resonated with me, and I too would invite you to pray and seek the direction of Lord to know what distractions, sins, or other items in your life should be removed.
I felt directed to share my testimony of the Savior more often - on social media and in normal and natural ways. The world needs more of Jesus Christ. I know He lives! I am grateful for His atonement. And through Him we can find peace in our lives.
 
These are just two of the items that inspired me from conference. What inspired you? I invite you to share the messages or thoughts with others of those things that resonated with you as you listened to conference. Share them on our Facebook page. Share them with your neighbors. Share them with your families.
 
I am grateful for the Lord and His everlasting love for each one of us. General Conference is one way in which he shows that love - through a living prophet.
 
Let God prevail in your life, and I know God will bless you!
 
Bishop Cox

COVID-19 guidelines for church meetings and activities
As you know, the State of Utah has announced an end to a statewide mask mandate, effective this weekend. The state continues to ask that masks be worn for large gatherings of more than 50 people where physical distancing isn’t possible.
 
we ask that you continue to be sensitive to the health concerns of others. We will still require masks in our church meetings. Please wear them. We will continue to sanitize our chapels and exercise physical distancing to make sure our members feel safe and protected.
 
As health conditions improve for our state with decreased infections and rising vaccinations, the Church has authorized stakes to consider plans for returning to in-person church meetings. We are eager to do so. We miss you desperately. And yet, we wish to move forward with caution and deliberation to ensure that we protect the health of our members.  
 
In the coming days, we will announce plans for a phased approach to returning to church meetings. This approach will ensure that members feel comfortable and safe as we resume a normal Sunday schedule.
 
We invite you to prepare for this return. We invite you to reach out to others — to friends, family and neighbors — with a heartfelt desire for them to return as well.
