Good afternoon, We hope you have enjoyed a beautiful spring Saturday. Here is a “Come, follow me” quote from the Gospel Living App about God’s desire for us to be happy: The Lord is delighted to bless us. God is looking for ways to bless, encourage, and support us. Some people think of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ as angry and stern beings, always looking for an excuse to withhold blessings. But the truth is the opposite! “Hearken and hear, O ye my people, saith the Lord and your God, ye whom I delight to bless with the greatest of all blessings” (Doctrine and Covenants 41:1). The Lord is eager to bless us. It makes Him happy!…

Good evening, We hope you are having a safe and peaceful weekend. Thank you to all those that participated in an inspiring Ward Conference last Sunday. We would like to share a thought from the Gospel Living App – “How I Hear Him”, by President Dallin H. Oaks. President Oaks says that the Lord can bless us and others if we Hear Him. “When you get an impression, act upon it, however unusual it seems or however inadequate you feel in following it.” Just as Joseph Smith was asked to Hear Him in the spring of 1820, we are asked to hear him today as we celebrate the Restoration of…

Good evening brothers and sisters, We hope that you had an inspirational Easter and General Conference last weekend. We look forward to worshiping together tomorrow. Scripture of the day: “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” (Matt. 22:36–39). Let us never forget that the Lord gave us a specific commandment to love God and to love one another. Tomorrow is a 2nd Sunday, in-person for last name’s letters A-K. We are pleased to be able to hear from Sarah Pickett, Carmen Little and Kristen…

Good evening Parley’s 3rd Ward, In honor of Women’s History Month, The Gospel Living App tells the story of Abish in the Book of Mormon, a woman of faith: Abish was a Lamanite woman who served the king and queen. She’d converted to the gospel years earlier but kept it a secret—probably because faithful people were persecuted in her community. Then one day a Nephite missionary named Ammon showed up and taught the king and queen about the gospel. The Spirit was so strong that everyone collapsed! Abish was the only one left standing—and she knew it was time to share her testimony. She literally ran from house to house,…

Good evening, Scripture of the week from the Gospel Living App. Jesus Christ always delivers on his promises. “And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord came to them in their afflictions, saying: Lift up your heads and be of good comfort, for I know of the covenant which ye made unto me; and I will covenant with my people and deliver them out of bondage. And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me…
