Update on Resuming Meetings
Members of the Parleys Stake, It has been nearly one month since we shared our decision with you that, except for the Parleys Single Adult Ward, we would not be setting a date to resume our ward meetings. Instead, we promised that, together with Stake and Ward leaders, we would monitor COVID-19 information to determine when we believe it is reasonable to resume. During that same time, we all have had an opportunity as part of Come Follow Me to study Alma’s words in which he reminds us that there is power in assembling together and gathering ourselves often to join in fasting and mighty prayer. While we are anxious…

Good evening Brothers and Sisters, We hope you are well and safe at home. One of the most challenging conditions of our current state of isolation is not being able to gather together often as a ward family. We are all missing the teaching, support and socializing we used to receive from our dear brothers and sisters. Certainly the casual greetings that we have with each other in the neighborhood are valuable to us all, but our normal Sunday and weekday associations can not be replaced. We very much look forward to the day that we are able to gather together again; that will be quite a memorable reunion for…

Good evening Brothers and Sisters, We hope you are well and continue to find peace in the Savior’s atonement and plan for happiness in a world that seemingly becomes more complicated with each new day. Be assured, the Lord is aware of us and the challenges we face. He stands ready with open arms to embrace us. Imagine if the world’s population could only recognize that we are all children of the same Heavenly Parents, and are thereby, all brothers and sisters, would we be more motivated to treat each other as family? Because we are Heavenly Father’s children, we ALL have a divine destiny. God loves us with Godly…
