Calendar Events

• Tithing Declarations: Please schedule your tithing with Bishop using this link: https://calendly.com/joel-lytle/tithing-declaration

• Emergency Preparedness Exercise: On Sat, Nov 29, you will be contacted for an emergency simulation. At 9 am, ministering brothers will reach out to ask families the following questions: 'Do you have sufficient food and water for three days for your family? Do you have any excess food or water that you can share? If so, how many additional people can you support for three days? Do you have backup power or heat in case of a power outage for three days? If yes, how many people can you shelter for that duration?' Our goal is to identify families who may require assistance with food, water, shelter, and heat, as well as those who can provide help. Ministering brothers will contact their district leader at 10 am to share the information. Emergencies can arise unexpectedly. By preparing now, we ensure we can care for our own families and extend help to others in need. This exercise will empower us to take meaningful action and enhance our readiness.
