To the men who bless our lives

It is not flesh and blood, but the heart which makes us fathers and sons.

-- Johann Friedrich von Schiller


Share a little love with our YW 

Next week, 17 or our young women and 10 fearless leaders will be heading out to camp. We non-camping sisters have an opportunity to connect! If you'd like to share any kind of treat or prize with a signed love note, the YW leaders will pass these along to the girls. It might be a plate of cookies, a tube of chapstick, a squirt gun, a flashlight... anything the girls would enjoy receiving during camp week.


To participate, please drop off items at the Koger's home (1888 Spring Oaks Drive) by 8pm this Tuesday, June 21. 


Blood drive

Springville Utah Stake and the American Red Cross are hosting a blood drive. The need for blood is constant -- someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime. If you can donate, here's the 411...

Teaching helps

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf spoke in a special broadcast, Teaching in the Savior’s Way, on Sunday, June 12, 2022. We are all teachers at one time or another. Making time to watch the recording will help us in our efforts... and who doesn't love to listen to and learn from Elder Uchtdorf!


What we’re reading

This week our Come Follow Me reading is 1 Samuel 8-10; 13; 15-18 “The Battle is the Lord's.”

Ponder the personal battles you are facing. What can you find in 1 Samuel 17 that strengthens your faith that the Lord can help you?

See also Gordon B. Hinckley, “Overpowering the Goliaths in Our Lives,” Ensign, May 1983, 46, 51–52.


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...
