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, 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.
