Bishopric message

Dear Parleys 3rd Ward,

Happy Independence Day! We sincerely hope all is well with each of you.

As we cross these interesting waters, we are reminded of the importance of turning toward the Savior, and caring for one another. Our wonderful Relief Society President, Melissa Romney, once gave some great advice: If we are aware of the needs of those living in immediate proximity to us (next door neighbors, across the street/hall, behinds us) as well as our ministering individuals and families, our ward will be in good hands.

This week’s message comes from Anna Munns, who has been called to serve in the Adriatic South Mission, and who recently started her home MTC training. Thank you, Anna!

Additional exciting missionary news: Will Poulson has been called to serve in the Dallas, Texas Mission, beginning in September. Congratulations, Will….you will be fantastic!

Ruth Todd has been called to serve on the Young Women’s General Board.

We know temple work is very limited at the moment, but we would encourage you to look at your temple recommends and keep them current. If your temple recommend has expired, or if you wish to obtain a temple recommend, please reach out to a member of the bishopric.

Still no definitive word on when in-person Sunday church services will resume. We will keep you posted when we hear additional news.

Brothers and Sisters, please keep your faith, and know that you are loved and supported. It is our faith that will see us through. In D&C 35:8, it reads “For I am God, and mine arm is not shortened; and I will show miracles, signs, and wonders, unto all those who believe on my name.” Thank you for being such wonderful neighbors and friends.

With love,

The bishopric
