Dear Brothers & Sisters, We are excited to hear from Sister Avery Smith, returning from the Philippines Olongapo mission, and Elder Aidan Smith, departing for the Nevada Reno mission. Please join us for sacrament meeting beginning at 12 pm this Sunday. We also invite you to attend our ward temple night scheduled for July 20th (this Sat evening at 5pm at Jordan River). In Alma 30 we learn about the false doctrine and ultimate demise of the Anti-Christ Korihor. Despite significant success amongst the Nephites in the land of Zarahemla, his mission to the people of Ammon was not successful. These people were described by Mormon as “more wise than…

Dear Friends, We marvel at the story of the Lamanites who converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ because of the preaching of Ammon and his brothers. This story is one of faith, repentance, and enduring to the end. This story is about allowing Jesus to change us. These people were willing to listen and try their faith. When they felt God’s spirit, they made up their minds, acted in righteousness and never swayed! It is said of them that “as many of the Lamanites as believed in their preaching, and were converted unto the Lord, never did fall away. For they become a righteous people; they did lay down…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, As we celebrated the 4th of July this week. We reflect on the words of Nephi recorded over 2600 years ago in chapter 13 starting in verse 16 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles who had gone forth out of captivity did humble themselves before the Lord; and the power of the Lord was with them. 17 And I beheld that their mother Gentiles were gathered together upon the waters, and upon the land also, to battle against them. 18 And I beheld that the power of God was with them, and also that the wrath of God was upon…

Dear Friends, We invite you to come worship with us tomorrow at 12 PM. We will hear speakers on the topics of Repentance and Forgiveness. We are so thankful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Elder Uchtdorf taught that “Because of God’s perfect love for us and the eternal sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our sins—both great and small—can be blotted out and remembered no more. We can stand before Him pure, worthy, and sanctified.” Perhaps the most comforting statement on the topic of Repentance and Forgiveness is found in D&C 58:42. It says, “Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, We look forward to worshiping with you this weekend. Tomorrow night is ward temple night at the Taylorsville Temple at 6:00 PM. Sunday we will hear from members who attended youth conference and learn how we can “Be the One”. We encourage you to come to the meeting with this question in your mind How can I be the One, a true disciple of Jesus. We testify of the great opportunity that we have to be his disciples and to bless the lives of others and be blessed ourselves through true discipleship. We love and pray for you daily,P3 Bishopric ANNOUNCEMENTS:Virtual sacrament meeting HERE Ward Temple…

Dear Friends, We invite you to come to sacrament meeting at 12 PM tomorrow. We will hear from two great sisters, Claire McCullough (departing on a mission) and Angie Boren. We are thankful to them for their preparation. We testify of a living prophet to whom the Lord speaks. President Nelson continues to encourage us to make space in our lives for the temple. In the temple we can understand better the Doctrine of Christ. In the temple we make sacred covenants with God, through Jesus Christ. In the temple we are reminded and instructed about the importance of our covenants. As we understand and honor the covenants we make…

Dear Brothers & Sisters, Please join us for sacrament meeting tomorrow at 12 pm. We look forward to hearing from Sister Anna Brown, assigned to serve in the Argentina Rosario Mission. We will also hear from our ward choir (see announcement below). In the first chapter in Alma the Nephite/Mulekite society is geographically united for the first time in many generations and Alma has established the church throughout the land of Zarahemla. A new form of government with judges instead of kings has been implemented as well. Competing religions and ideas for government immediately cause major unrest in society. It sounds a lot like our day. Mormon describes members of…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, We look forward to worshipping with you as we share and are edified through each other’s testimony. We bear testimony that we are children of a Heavenly Father, who loved us so much that he sent his only begotten son to atone for each of us to be able to return to him and of the miraculous restoration of His gospel through the prophet Joseph Smith and that His Son continues to guide us through our prophet Russel M. Nelson. We love you and pray for you always, P3 Bishopric ANNOUNCEMENTS: Virtual sacrament meeting HERE. Ward Choir Weekly Practice: Sundays, 2:15 PM, P3 bldg rostrum Stake…

Dear Friends, We invite you to worship with us tomorrow during our Sunday services. We testify that if we earnestly seek the help of heaven, we will receive heaven’s help.

Dear Brothers & Sister, We look forward to hearing from Elder James Berg, beginning his service in the Albania Tirana Mission on Monday, May 20th. Please join us for sacrament meeting beginning at 12 pm. Abinadi’s mission to the people of Noah happened 450 years after Lehi left Jersualem and 470 years before Mormon. His words and influence radically impacted the 2nd half of Nephite history via Alma and the succession of High Priests. His words became Nephite scripture. Yet while he lived he did not see any immediate and tactile results of his actions. Zero converts. Perhaps he only had the satisfaction of knowing he had obeyed God’s will.…
