Ward Activities 

Taylorsville Utah South Stake:  We are putting together a stake choir for our upcoming conference in May. We are a super excited about the music. But we need YOU to give voice to those songs. To share your talent. To share your spirit. To share your love for the Savior.

If you would be willing to participate, please send me a quick email to say, "Count me in!" And if you're not sure, will you take 5 minutes and find a quiet place to ask Heavenly Father? You might just receive a call from Heaven. Then let me know. 

We'll be starting stake choir practice in two weeks. Here's the schedule:

• Sunday, April 13th — 3:00 p.m. in the stake center chapel
• Sunday, April 27th — 3:00 p.m. in the stake center chapel
• Sunday, May 4th — 3:00 p.m. in the stake center chapel
• Sunday, May 18th — 9:30 a.m. in the stake center chapel

We would LOVE to have you join. And youth are totally invited to participate too. Please let me know where your heart directs. I can promise a powerful spirit that will accompany this session as you participate.

Thought:

"Easter is a joyous celebration of what’s possible because of Jesus Christ. Because of Him, we can have a fresh start as we repent and are forgiven for our sins. We can live with God and our loved ones forever. We can look forward to the future with hope."  -Church of Jesus Christ Website
