‘Tis the Season…

What do you want to do with this special time of year? And as one of my wise sisters prompted… “What is on the “don’t do” list?”

Here’s to finding and making peace and beauty in the days ahead.


Comfort quilts

Several Utah County agencies have an urgent need for quilts and bedding. These agencies assist women and children escaping domestic abuse, as well as individuals transitioning from homelessness to apartments. Our ward joined in the JustServe.org Comfort Quilts project. We completed 4 of the 5 quilts we’ve committed to donate.

Michelle Laraway has graciously agreed to set up a frame at her house and have a final quilting bee on Thursday at 7:00. Come “bee” with us if you can to help move this project across the finish line.



Your donations

Wow! IHC, in partnership with other organizations and generous individual donors like you, collected

  • 963 sets of crutches
  • 333 canes
  • 652 walkers
  • 153 non-motorized wheelchairs


Save the date

The ward Christmas dinner will be held on December 9 at 6:00. Bring a friend, join your neighbors… the delicious food and festivities promise to help you feel the Christmas spirit!

If you would like to bring something for the meal but didn’t get a chance to sign up yet, check out what’s still needed here.


What we’re talking about

This Sunday Kimmie Knight will be leading our discussion of Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s talk, “Daily Restoration.”

We need an ongoing, daily infusion of heavenly light. We need “times of refreshing.” Times of personal restoration.

In preparation for our discussion, you might think about what personal introspection looks like for you and how often you take time for it.


What we’re reading

This week our Come Follow Me reading is D&C 135-136, “He ‘Has Sealed His Mission and His Works with His Own Blood.’”  


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...
