to join the meeting that will be streamed. We encourage all to contemplate the ways our testimonies of the Savior have been strengthened in 2020 and how we may each pursue even greater spiritual convictions of His gospel in 2021. We know that He is our Savior and that His gospel is the way, the only way, to find true “happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come!”
Please see below for some important information regarding our meetings tomorrow and in 2021.
We love you! The Bishopric

Each Sunday School teacher should have everyone’s email address in their class to send out a Zoom link. However, if anyone doesn’t receive an email with a Zoom link and invite before their Sunday School class tomorrow, please don’t hesitate to reach out to either your teachers listed above, or Andrew Sipherd. It’s always possible human error occurs and we might have accidentally missed some email addresses.
