October 2023 - This month is our ward's 50th Anniversary. Our ward was created on Oct 28th, 1973. We would like to gather some of the memories made along the way! If you have any old photographs or memories that you'd like to share with the ward, please email them to James Gates (gatesjd@gmail.com) as soon as possible.
November 2023 - The Orchard Stake has asked each ward to organize a group or groups with the emphasis on Emotional Resilience. This course will provide guidance in establishing healthy thinking patterns, managing stress and anxiety, understanding sadness and depression, overcoming anger, managing addictive behaviors, building healthy relationships, and strengthening others. These classes are for educational purposes only, not group therapy or professional treatment for mental health. They are encouraging all members to participate if they can.
The course could start in November, but we will be more specific later with dates.
We are asking anyone who is interested to fill out this short survey to gauge interest and availability: Survey Link
Primary & Youth Upcoming Events
If you missed this week’s education devotional with Elder Christofferson, the Bishopric is inviting every teenager in the ward to watch the devotional with their parents and develop their own personal education plan. We know you will be blessed as you follow through with this invitation. We will be discussing this topic together on Sunday, October 29th during our second hour youth meeting.

All youth in our stake who will turn 14 by December 31, 2024 are invited to attend an FSY session during the summer of 2024. “We encourage every eligible youth to participate... We know this experience has the potential to bless the youth, their families and their classes and quorums.” There is a $150 fee to attend FSY. The Ward will pay half of the fee. Youth are expected to pay the remaining $75. If you need help paying the fee please contact Bishop Moulton.
