Come Follow Me—For Individuals and Families for next week
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been carefully monitoring the COVID-19 developments and is taking steps in several areas to provide assistance, help missionaries be safe and effective, address concerns regarding member safety and plan for upcoming events. Please go to the following link for additional information regarding best practices released by the Stake and Church Headquarters.
Employment - If anyone is out of work, underemployed, or if you have or are aware of employment opportunities, please reach out to President Schaack (214-517-2125 ), Bishop Schofield (801-358-7190) or Brother and Sister Cragun who are the new Ward Employment Specialists (540-719-2425).
We hope you continue to have faith building experiences as you study Come, Follow Me. We would like to invite you to download and use the church's Living app to share your thoughts and impressions, especially during this time when meeting together each week is not possible.
Sharing your spiritual insights through the app is simple – open the app on your device, click on "Circles" in the bottom right, then select the group that is most relevant. For example, you can select "Adult" to share with all adult members of Sunday School.
We look forward to reading what you have to share! Thanks,
Brother Dold, Sunday School President

It was previously announced that the new Stake Center would be dedicated in a virtual dedication meeting next Sunday, May 3. For various reasons, this date has now been changed to Sunday May 17th @ 6:00 PM.
Unfortunately due to COVID-19 measures the ward Nauvoo youth trip has been cancelled. That does not change the fact that we had a lot of fun planning and holding activities to prepare for the events! A big thank you to all those that participated. Thanks to our Specialists and leaders who planned these activities, and a special thanks to Brother & Sister Judd for planning and preparation for the Nauvoo program.

Per the guidance of President Platt and President Dalton of the Dallas Texas Mission, we have been given guidance and an initiative to help our full time missionaries teach the Gospel and baptize converts during this unprecedented time of COVID-19. Currently, our missionaries have been given the directive to “remain mainly in their apartments” for the time being and so now we have the opportunity to work with our missionaries virtually through digital mediums to preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ with our families and with our friends.
We have been asked to have our full time missionaries Elders Meyers & Holt teach each individual and/or family the Five Lessons from Preach My Gospel, namely:
