Sunday School

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As 2022 begins we have a wonderful opportunity to study the Old Testament which sheds so much light on all of our scriptural understanding. This journey will begin with understandings illuminated by portions of the writings of Moses and Abraham, through the inspired writings of the Prophet Joseph Smith in the Pearl of Great Price. There are essential lessons about our relationship to God and answers to important questions about the why of creation, that you don’t want to miss out on in the first lesson.
Please attend with us either in person or virtually this coming Sunday as we attempt to assist you in your home centered, church supported, study of this exciting volume of scripture through the valuable Come Follow Me course of study.
May the Lord bless each of you.
Your Sunday School Presidency
John Hughes, Bob Dang, Bill Peck and Tyler Mumford

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."

If you need to meet with Bishop for Tithing Settlement please contact Brother Ken Stevens.
