Announcements

Missionary Meals

Brothers and Sisters, please remember that the missionaries are now allowed to share a meal with ward members.  On the weekend they are able to share one meal per day with members.  This can be with or without a less-active or nonmember and or for any meal of the day..  During the week they have been asked to share a meal with members if a nonmember or less active member is present preferably before 5 PM.  To date, they have not been invited to share many meals with the members.  Please do not forget our missionaries as they strive to share the gospel with our friends and neighbors. If you would like to schedule a meal with them, please either contact them directly at 801-755-9390.  Their email address is holland.rasmusson@missionary.org.  Or contact Brother Hess at 806-220-6861, alkess54@gmail.com.  

Tithing Settlement

As faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ, we are asked to obey the law of tithing. The law of tithing is simply stated as one-tenth of all of our income. When faithfully practiced, the law provides us with innumerable blessings and promises. We receive both spiritual and temporal blessings. 

Malachi shares the promise of the Lord. "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 

"And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts" (Malachi 3:10-11).

President James E. Faust said, “One of the great blessings the people of this Church have is to meet with the bishop once each year, settle their tithing, and report that what they had paid in contributions constitutes a tithe." 

Bishop Cox will begin meeting with individuals this week to take advantage of this important declaration. Please click on the link below to schedule a time to meet with Bishop Cox.
