Walking Group

Come join us every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for a nice walk.  We meet at the church at 6:30 am and walk east (toward's Mike and Annette Munn's house).  You can turn around whenever you want, but we usually walk for about one hour.  If you can't make it right at 6:30, just drive until you see us and join in. 

June Visiting Teaching Message

June Visiting Teaching Message (Ensign, June 2013) 

Joy in Family History

Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles has taught that the Spirit of Elijah is “a manifestation of the Holy Ghost bearing witness of the divine nature of the family.”

As members of Christ’s restored Church, we have the covenant responsibility to search for our ancestors and provide for them the saving ordinances of the gospel. They without us cannot “be made perfect” (Hebrews 11:40), and “neither can we without our dead be made perfect” (D&C 128:15).

Family history work prepares us for the blessings of eternal life and helps us increase our faith and personal righteousness. Family history is a vital part of the mission of the Church and enables the work of salvation and exaltation for all.

President Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, said: “When we research our own lines we become interested in more than just names. ... Our interest turns our hearts to our fathers—we seek to find them and to know them and to serve them.”

The Prophet Joseph Smith taught, “The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us is to seek after our dead.” We can serve as proxy in the temple for our deceased ancestors and perform necessary ordinances for them.
