Miracle of 10,000 on Easter Sunday (April 17th)

The full-time missionaries and the President of the Salt Lake City West Mission have invited our ward to participate in the "Miracle of 10,000".  They are asking that each ward invite 125 friends per ward with the goal of having 25 attend Sacrament meeting on Easter Sunday. This inspired effort of the “Miracle of 10,000” is so named because when we have 25 friends attend each ward Sacrament meeting across the 60 stakes in the Salt Lake City West mission, that will be over 10,000 people who attend that day! This can happen with fasting, prayer, sincere desire and effort (faith).

Bishop Cox would like to extend an invitation to be prayerful about who you might invite.

This year, we will be holding a ward dinner and auction where you’ll have the chance to bid on donated goods and services. We are looking for donations for the auction which will be held on May 21. The money raised at this fundraiser will be used to pay for the Young Men and Young Women Camps this summer. We appreciate your generosity to help.

Please let us know what you are willing to donate for the fundraiser. Donations can include almost anything people would be interested in bidding on, including art, new or gently used items, homemade/unique items, antiques, baked goods, craft items, or services (like piano lessons, dinners, teaching a skill, offering skilled trade work etc).
