Ward Mission Message

“The spirit of Christ is the spirit of missions. The nearer we get to him, the more intensely missionary we become”.  
-Henry Martin.                      

This is a beautiful quote. I pray that we will try each and every day to grow closer to our Savior which will make it easier to have the spirit with us and will help us share the gospel with those that we come in contact with. Bro. Major


Temple & Family History 

“The Lord has declared that despite today’s unprecedented challenges, those who build their foundations upon Jesus Christ, and have learned how to draw upon His power, need not succumb to the unique anxieties of this era.”

WARD MISSION MESSAGE:

There are many out there that have stopped coming out to church for one reason or another. Remember the "Worth of souls is great in the sight of God." (D&C 18:10) He loves us all equally!

It is our responsibility to try and do all in our power to assist in this great undertaking of bringing all of our brothers and sisters back unto the Lord. We will not be alone in this work if we turn to Him in prayer. The Lord has promised "I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee" (Isaiah 41:10) As they come back and partake of the sacrament it is symbolic of entering into the waters of baptism and they are cleansed once again, as we all are.    
    -Bro. Peck



TEMPLE AND FAMILY HISTORY:

“The Lord has declared that despite today’s unprecedented challenges, those who build their foundations upon Jesus Christ, and have learned how to draw upon His power, need not succumb to the unique anxieties of this era.”
