Bishop Shippen will be holding Tithing Declaration appointments beginning on October 12 so that we can complete the process this year before Christmas. A sign-up sheet is located on the bishop's office door, listing appointments right after our Sunday meetings; please sign up there at your earliest convenience. If you prefer that the Bishop meet with at your home, please set an appointment at this link.
Deadline for Volunteers is October 20. FamilySearch is producing a video that celebrates the many ways people “add what they know” to the work of Family History. We are looking for members of The Church who are actively involved in family history work, and we seek a diverse range of voices — young and old, new converts and seasoned genealogists, all ethnicities! We are hoping to have many individuals from the same ward or stake submit their stories. As we will be traveling to interview participants, it is helpful to have several interviews in the same location. We will arrange interviews in areas with the most responses. These will be short, conversational on-camera interviews. No acting experience is required — just a willingness to share stories related to FamilySearch. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/serve/casting/add-what-you-know

Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad...Let the dead speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Immanuel, who hath ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to redeem them out of their prison; for the prisoners shall go free."
