    Good evening Parley’s 3rd Ward, We hope you enjoyed General Conference last weekend. The messages were inspiring and especially appropriate for our current circumstances. We are so fortunate to have living prophets, apostles and sister leaders, that seek the Lord’s will on our behalf. Tomorrow will be our October Fast & Testimony meeting at 12:00pm. The meeting will be both in-person and streamed. It is week 2 on our alternating sacrament meeting attendance schedule (attached).

    Good evening our friends in Parley’s 3rd Ward, It was a real treat to see many of you in our sacrament meetings last week. You just can’t replace being gathered together with those you care for. We wish to thank our two speakers from last week Elder Andrew Thomas and Elder William Poulson. They are two of Parley’s 3rd Ward’s finest. Their messages were inspiring to all. Similarly, our Aaronic Priesthood brethren administered the Sacrament in the most reverent and safe manner possible. We were all able to focus on the Savior, rather than being uncomfortable with the handling of the sacrament trays and emblems. This week we are pleased…

    Good evening brothers and sisters, Tomorrow, Sunday September 13th will be our first opportunity to hold in-person sacrament meetings since early this year. We are excited to worship together and to see many of you face to face. Also, you may have heard on Friday, the Church and specially our area made some revisions to our church services and return to church plans. We are fortunate to be able to use virtual technology to stream sacrament meetings to our homes. We intend to do this tomorrow for both sacrament meetings. We were also given permission to have meetings of 150 people in our chapels. Up until then we were only allowed 99 people…

This week we are pleased to hear from two of our Ward’s recently returned missionaries. Sister Emma Romney served faithfully in the Germany, Frankfurt Mission.

We are assured by a prophet of the Lord that the pandemic will pass and we will be able to enjoy the blessings that come from serving and worshiping together.

    Dear Brothers and Sisters, We are thankful to a handful of sister missionaries (Sister Munns, Sister Anderson, and Sister Johnson) who are teaching us today about having faith in Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus Christ strengthens and inspires us to greatness. Any amount of faith we acquire will upgrade our perspectives on our life situations. Faith has the power to improve our personal outcomes. Most importantly, true faith creates in us a reliance upon the Atonement of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins. Eventually, our personal faith can make us worthy to stand in the presence of God. Prophets teach us that our personal faith grows incrementally, as…
