Instant Father’s Day Choir

By Bishopric 17 Jun, 2023

We are doing another Instant Choir for Father’s Day this Sunday.

The piece is “Fathers” from the Children’s Song Book #209.

We will just do the melody:
Women: 1st verse
Men 2nd verse
All: 3rd verse.

If you are not familiar with this song, the easiest way to learn it is by listening to the recordings provided by the church. Each source has an audio recording you can listen to. You can find them here:

  • The Sacred Music App: Children’s Songbook #209 Fathers
  • Gospel Library App on mobile devices: Music > Children’s Songbook > #209 Fathers

Please join us as we celebrate all the great men in our lives!

Emergency Preparedness

By Bishopric 30 Mar, 2023

Brothers and Sisters, we received some information from our Area President about being prepared for possible flooding this spring. This is not to create panic or concern, but rather to give information on the subject.

We all know “If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear.” (DC 38:15).

I am attaching two documents that give some basic information as well as some ideas for planning in case our neighborhood does see some issues. Please review these documents if you are interested in additional information.

Also, feel free to copy or pass these on to any friends, neighbors, coworkers or family that may be interested as well. -Bishop Harwood
