Taylorsville Temple Dedication

There will be two dedicatory sessions for the Taylorsville Temple.  These sessions will be on Sunday, June 2nd at 10:00 a.m. or 1:30 p.m.  They will be held at the Stake Center which will be an extension of the Temple.  All baptized members, 8-years-old and older, are invited to attend.  Those wishing to attend will need a current temple recommend or a special ticket available from the bishopric.  Youth 8-15 must be accompanied by adult.  Please be in your seat 30 minutes prior to the session and bring a white handkerchief.

The Bishop has received tickets to attend the temple dedication at the Stake Center.  These tickets are available for all baptized members, ages 8 and older, who are temple-worthy.  If you have a current temple recommend, it is not necessary to have a ticket.  However, if you would like a ticket for keepsake, please show your current temple recommend to a member of the bishopric and they can get you a ticket.

If you do not have a current temple recommend, and would like to attend, please contact Brother Hunick (801-808-1248) to set up an appointment with a member of the Bishopric.

Ward Mission Message

Christ directed us to "go and bring forth fruit, that your fruit should remain." When we are striving to bring others into the gospel we are not only blessing their lives but ours as well. As the open house for the Taylorsville temple has ended, I know that many of you had the opportunity to take others to the open house and share with them your testimony. What a wonderful missionary tool this has been I am sure that many seeds have been planted. If you have had a special spiritual experience and feel comfortable in sharing it, please do so, we would love to hear about them or share them in class or with others that we may all be partakers of the spirit that you felt.         

Thank you for your loving spirits. (Brother Peck)
   

Relief Society

The lesson this week will be from A Higher Joy by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf and Fruit That Remains by Elder Matthew L. Carpenter.

The Young Women are planning on visiting all 30 of the temples in Utah during the last week of May.  They have asked the Relief Society to help provide snacks for them.  If you are able to help, please drop off the snacks (oranges, apples, string cheese, assorted chips, crackers, etc.) to Lee Stevens at 3265 Bitter Root Circle by Saturday, May 25th so they can put them in bags for each day.

Mary Ellen Strong is still collecting plastic lids that will be used for prosthetics.

Jan Wheeler is collecting clothing, shoes, hats and jackets for youth and adults.  Let her know if you have anything so she can pick them up or arrange a time to drop them off at her home.

Tessie Edgar is collecting for the Murray Family Road Home homeless shelter.  Anything that can be used to set up a new apartment. IE: towels / tinfoil / extension cords.
