Bluffdale 9th Ward Plan 2023
Temple and Family History
Encourage family history and temple activities in each of the ward organizations.
As invited by the bishop, help members prepare to attend the temple for the first time. Encourage New members and the youth to qualify for and use limited-use temple recommends at the appropriate age.
Coordinate with ward missionary teaching, activation, and retention efforts.
The Ward Temple and Family History Committee, along with organizational leaders’ support, will help individuals and families begin or complete the following activities. Information will be given to each member via a “Temple and Family History Passport.” The Temple and Family History committee will hold activities throughout the year to help members with these goals.
