Deacons have the responsibility of visiting your homes to collect fast offerings. We realize most of you pay tithes and fast offerings online. However, we want our deacons to continue to have the opportunity to fulfill their priesthood assignments and prepare for missions. So they will be bringing you a message to remind you about fast offerings whether you pay online or not. So please expect a visit from them however you pay. Thanks for giving these young men an opportunity to serve and share a quick message.
