Meanwhile, back in Springville...
GAME NIGHT - The full-time missionaries in Springville host a weekly game night at the Kolob Stake Center located at 1230 South 500 East in Springville. It is held every Thursday night from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and is aimed toward youth ages 11 to 18. However, their invitation says "This is an activity for all ages and for families of all shapes and sizes!"
Mosiah 4:26
"And now, for the sake of these things which I have spoken until you--that is, for the sake of retaining a remission of your sins from day to day, that ye may walk guiltless before God--I would that ye should impart of your substance to the poor, every man according to that which he hath, such as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and administering to their relief, both spiritually and temporally, according to their wants."
