Change is the constant

Our Sunday meetings are again shifting as we shed more Covid-imposed constraints. We’ll return to our previous in-person meeting times:

  • ·      12:00-12:30 sacrament meeting talks and songs (https://zoom.us/j/94121827491)
  • ·      12:30-1:00 the sacrament (not broadcast)
  • ·      1:00-2:00 second-hour meetings (1st and 3rd weeks are Sunday School. 2nd and 4th weeks are RS, EQ, YW, YM.)

All pews will be open, and masks… welcome, but not required!


Missionary meals

Our ward gets to provide dinners for the missionaries from June 3-10. If you can help, here is the new 

 sign-up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c44aead2eaaf4c43-missionary. 

Please let Michelle Laraway know if you have any problems with the sign-up technology.  We’re in the “Prototype” phase.  (What was it?  Prototype and fix?)

Thanks for your willingness to serve ❤️


What we’re reading

This week our Come Follow Me reading is D&C 58-59, “Anxiously Engaged in a Good Cause.”

“When the elders of the Church first saw the site of the city of Zion—Independence, Missouri—it was not what they expected. Some thought they would find a thriving, industrious community with a strong group of Saints. Instead they found a sparsely populated outpost, lacking the civilization they were used to and inhabited by rough frontier settlers rather than Saints. It turned out that the Lord wasn’t asking them just to come to Zion—He wanted them to build it.”


A little love from Bonnie

Our friend Bonnie Bringhurst asked that we send this note along:

“…thank the 7th ward sisters for the beautiful picture of the Atonement that I received from you all when Dick passed…. expressing to them my gratitude for the thoughtful and beautiful picture and also let them know how much I love them and miss them!”

And we miss Bonnie.


Happy Birthday to you

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
