We are instructed that:
"All members should attend tithing declaration to make sure their contribution records are correct and to declare to the bishop their status as tithe payers. If possible, all members of a family should attend tithing declaration."
I am looking forward to meeting with each of you and your families! Appointments are now available and can be booked in 2 different ways:
1. You can book online by using this link Olds Ward Tithing Declaration
2. Contact Brother Webster to help you book an appointment. You can contact Brother Webster at james.jmaik@gmail.com
Tithing Declaration appointments are available now until Dec 15th. Please book early as the appointments will likely fill up towards the end of the year.
Thank you,
Bishop Nielsen

When possible, Church members should strive to attend meetings in person. However, sometimes this is not possible. Streaming and holding virtual meetings make it possible to reach those who otherwise would not be able to attend. These people may include (but are not limited to) those who:
Live in remote locations or have limited ability to travel.
Have physical, mental, or emotional health challenges.
Are immunocompromised or in a care facility or hospital.
Are essential workers or otherwise are required to work on the Sabbath.
Care for someone who is homebound and cannot be left alone.
Need sign-language interpretation.
Have allergies that put their health at risk in a meeting.
For the benefit of these members and others, the bishop may, as an exception, authorize a livestream of sacrament meetings and of funerals and weddings held in the meetinghouse.
