Brothers and Sisters.

The Stake Presidency and the Bishops met Sunday, May 24th in a Bishop’s Council to review the latest information and guidance from Church leaders, including Elder Heaton our Area Authority, as it pertains to resuming Church meetings.  The following is what has decided.

No meetings will resume prior to June 14th, with the next evaluation by Stake leadership and Bishops set for June 7th. We will provide an update then. Due to the limited number of individuals who can gather (currently 99 or less) and the need to institute proper social distancing, each Ward will more than one Sacrament meeting to accommodate all members. 

Each ward will be assigned a Sunday in the month dedicated to just that ward (weeks 2-4 of every month). Each ward will use that Sunday to conduct the required number of sacrament meetings. The Sundays of weeks 1 and 5 will not be assigned. Social distancing will still limit the ability of the Ward’s to meet all together for some time. Sacrament meeting will be the only meeting of the block held and is encouraged to be abbreviated with only the Chapel being used.  Full sanitization will be required between every meeting. Strict guidelines will be provided and adult volunteers will be asked to help with the sanitization.

More information will be forthcoming after the next evaluation on June 7th. After that meeting, I will announce which week will be assigned to our ward, the times our meetings will be held, and which families should attend which meeting.

Please direct any questions you may have to me.

I miss seeing all your faces at church,

Love you all,

Bishop Jeff Anderson
