Tithing Settlement

As faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ, we are asked to obey the law of tithing. The law of tithing is simply stated as one-tenth of all of our income. When faithfully practiced, the law provides us with innumerable blessings and promises. We receive both spiritual and temporal blessings.

Malachi shares the promise of the Lord. "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

"And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts" (Malachi 3:10-11).

President James E. Faust said, “One of the great blessings the people of this Church have is to meet with the bishop once each year, settle their tithing, and report that what they had paid in contributions constitutes a tithe."

If you need to meet with Bishop for Tithing Settlement please contact Brother Ken Stevens.

Temple and Family History

Zoom meeting Tuesday November 9 at 7p.m. Link can be found in the Virtual Links of the weekly email.

  As you gather with your family this Thanksgiving season, ask them to bring that favorite salad or side dish for dinner AND a story to share or some family photos!  

This is what Elder Dale G. Renlund says about blessing of family History:

You'll find not only protection from the temptation and ills of this world, but you'll also find personal power, power to change, power to repent, power to learn, power to be sanctified, and power to turn the hearts of your family together and heal that which needs healing.

Come join us for the Temple and Family History Zoom meeting for ideas and fun tips.
