Sunday School

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As 2022 begins we have a wonderful opportunity to study the Old Testament which sheds so much light on all of our scriptural understanding. This journey will begin with understandings illuminated by portions of the writings of Moses and Abraham, through the inspired writings of the Prophet Joseph Smith in the Pearl of Great Price. There are essential lessons about our relationship to God and answers to important questions about the why of creation, that you don’t want to miss out on in the first lesson.
Please attend with us either in person or virtually this coming Sunday as we attempt to assist you in your home centered, church supported, study of this exciting volume of scripture through the valuable Come Follow Me course of study.
May the Lord bless each of you.
Your Sunday School Presidency
John Hughes, Bob Dang, Bill Peck and Tyler Mumford
