23RD WARD YOUTH FUNDRAISER - MAY 21ST

Once a year, the youth in the ward have the opportunity to raise funds through donations. 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).

Please fill out this google form if you are willing to provide a donation(s) so we can keep track of what going to be available that evening.

"The ordinances of the temple and the covenants you make there are key to strengthening your life, your marriage and family, and your ability to resist the attacks of the adversary.  Your worship in the temple and your service there for your ancestors will bless you with increased personal revelation and peace and will fortify your commitment to stay on the covenant path."  - Russel M Nelson

We just wanted to send a quick update on our float-building schedule. We will be working on the float from 6:00 to 8:30 on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week. We are almost done with construction of the float base. (A big THANK YOU to everyone who has helped.) We will be working on the temple structure soon. 

Please come join us. We will be working in the pavilion behind the stake center. If you aren't able to come, but want to track our progress, we are posting photos on our stake facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/taylorsvilleutahsouthstake.

Bishop Cox would like to encourage members of the ward to participate in the building of the stake float.  Click here to go to the stake Facebook page to check on the progress and see some pictures of the float.
