28th Ward Update

I hope this email finds you well.  I wanted to write a short note to keep everyone up to date.

Church Attendance:

The Stake Bishop’s Council is meeting again on September 13 to discuss the possibility of returning to church. 

Temple Recommend Process:

We are scheduling Interviews on Sunday mornings or Wednesday evenings.  If these times don’t work for you, we can accommodate a different time for you. 

To schedule an appointment with the Bishop or a member of the Bishopric call Jim Wells, Ward Executive Secretary, Phone: 801-787-1991 or email: [email protected]

Please attend your interview with the Bishopric and the Stake Presidency as if you were attending the interview in person.  Please set aside at least 15 minutes and dress appropriately. 

We will conduct the interview through Zoom or in person if needed.  Once the interview with the ward is completed, your recommend will be forwarded to the Stake with the best phone number to contact you.  The Stake Clerk will call you to schedule your interview. 

You will then be able to pick-up your recommend from the stake offices on a Tuesday evening or from the bishop at a later date. 

We desire to meet with adults and youth to renew all expired recommends and are grateful for your patience as we navigate these adjusted processes.  Please don’t wait to renew your recommend until you need it.  Set a goal to keep your recommend active throughout your life. 

Temple Workers Needed:

The Mount Timpanogos Temple needs 300-400 more worker as all workers who were 65+ or with risk conditions were released.  When temples move to phase 3 for proxy ordinances they are looking for workers in the 20-55-year-old range to fill these spots.  If you are interested in working in the temple and can commit a 4 to 6 hour shift a week, please contact Jim Wells to set up an interview with the bishop.  Phone: 801-787-1991 or email: [email protected]

Full-Time Missionaries:

The mission rules just changed, and the elders are not allowed to receive food from any members including delivery services.  We can still support them by giving them opportunities for service, and both of the elders are eager to perform any outdoor services that we can provide them with.

National Day of Service:

September 11 has become a national day of service and remembrance. Join with others around the nation to make this special anniversary a unifying day of service and kindness.

Block out some time on this day to serve with family and friends. Serving together is a great way to strengthen relationships and to help others feel the love and light of Jesus Christ.

At JustServe.org you will find opportunities to help those in need and make your community a better place.

We love you and hope you had a wonderful Labor day weekend.
