This is our Wards month for cleaning the building. This Saturday all families with the last name F-L are invited to come and clean the ward building starting at 9. Also all with last name A-E that were unable to clean last week are also invited. Many hands make work light.
There will be no youth activity this Wednesday. Good luck to everyone starting school. However, there will be a stake youth activity on Saturday, August 13 from 7-9 at the Cove Water Park in Little Elm. We will have a combined young mens and young womens pool activity on Wednesday August 17 at the Evanson's house from 7-8:30.
Tonight at 7pm at the Stake Center there will be a stake youth fireside for all youth who turn 14 this year and older. The fireside is a follow up of the For the Strength of Youth conferences held during Summer of 2022. All youth in this age group are encouraged to attend even if they did not attend an FSY conference.

We will have a ward temple night for adults on August 18th for the 7pm session. It is highly encouraged for anyone that plans to attend to make a reservation online to guarantee a seat. Please see flyer.
Every Second Sunday of the month the Stake has a missionary prep class at 7 pm in the Stake Center for all youth 15 years and older.
There will be no Choir Practice for the summer months.
In order for the Bishop and Elders Quorum president to fulfill their duty, it is important for every family to take this 3 to 4 minute survey. Only the Bishop and Elders Quorum President will have access to this information.
Please go to the following link: Emergency Preparedness Survey "
If you are working with youth and have not taken the church's Youth Protection Training in the past three years, please follow this link to take the class. It takes about 30 minutes.

Members who want to attend the Dallas Texas Temple to perform proxy ordinances now have the option to either schedule an appointment or attend without an appointment, where space is available.
As priority will be given to members with appointments, those who attend without an appointment may be asked to wait for an opportunity to participate. As it has always been, appointments will still be necessary for all members who come to receive their own ordinances (endowment and sealing).
You are encouraged to attend the temple as often as your circumstances allow.
You can reserve an appointment on https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org, in the Member Tools app, or by calling the temple. Also you may now schedule multiple appointments for any ordinance in any temple.
At this unprecedented time the Bishop wants everyone to continue reaching out to their ministering families and make sure they are doing well. Please reach out to President Schaack or Sister Taylor if anything needs to be brought to their attention.
Install, Protect, Inspect
According to the National Fire Protection Association more than half of home fire deaths occurred in homes without a working smoke alarm. A working smoke alarm significantly increases your chances of surviving a deadly home fire. Check with your local fire department; reduced-cost or free smoke alarms are often available.
