Elders Quorum Zoom meeting, Sep 27 at 3:15

Hello Brethren!

We have been authorized to hold our first Elders Quorum Meeting since the pandemic restrictions were put into place. Our priesthood meetings will, until further notice, be held online via Zoom. The same with the Sister's Relief Society Meetings. Both of those meetings are 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month.

Our meeting September 27 will be at 3:15, immediately following the Relief Society meeting which is at 2:30. We will go no longer than 45 minutes.

In preparation for the meeting, please review Elder L Todd Christofferson's talk from the previous General Conference entitled "Sharing the Message of the Restoration and the Resurrection". The lesson will not be in a lecture format, so please come prepared to share impressions and insights.

Zoom has become the standard for online church meetings. It is free, and can be installed easily on your computer, tablet, or phone.

September Church Update - A return to Weekly Sacrament meetings and Virtual 2nd hour.

 Hello my dear friends!

 It's September and the Summer of 2020 has come and gone, it's certainly been one for the record books.

I apologize for waiting until now to send this email however we needed to clarify and make plans to support the new direction we've been given from the First Presidency and our Area Presidency concerning Sacrament meetings and we are ready to let you all know how that should look for the next little while.

Under the direction of the First Presidency, the Area Presidency and our Stake Presidency starting this Sunday the 20th of September we will return to a weekly Sacrament meeting at the Church with a starting time of 12 Noon. We would like to invite all who desire to attend to please join us for a Sacrament meeting. We will continue to practice Social distancing in the chapel this means every other row will be left empty to provide spacing between families and to allow the Sacrament to be passed safely, Masks are strongly encouraged and we will have hand sanitizer available. I want to emphasize that all the safety precautions we put into place months ago will be the same, with cleaning of the chapel taking place before and after the meeting, We are excited that we have been given the chance to also live stream the meeting to all those in the Ward that are not able to attend in person because of health, age or other risk factors. To all those that are not able to come and partake of the Sacrament in person, you are authorized to continue to administer the sacrament in your home. I invite all those who have not received the Sacrament in awhile to please reach out to their Ministering Elders/Sister or any member of the Bishopric, Elders Quorum Presidency or Relief Society Presidency and let us know so we can work with you to safely receive that sacred ordinance.

 A few details about Sacrament meeting and the live stream, our meeting will be modified so that the actual Sacrament ordinance will not be shown, instead we will have an opening song and prayer followed by a few talks and a closing song and prayer. At that point the video will end and you are invited to have your administration of the sacrament in your home while those at the Church will partake of the Sacrament as normally administered.

Another new change will be the return to a 2nd hour of church, this will be held completely online through live video streaming and will take place at a time to be announced sometime later this week as we work out those details as we want to give those attending in Church the time to return home before those video classes begin, we will follow the normal routine of 1st and 3rd Sundays will be Gospel Doctrine and Sunday School classes and 2nd and 4th Sundays our Relief Society, Elders Quorum and Young Women classes and Aaronic Priesthood Quorum classes. Bro Kai Hintze will be contacting all the Sunday School teachers to help give you support in understanding how this will work, we are expecting some confusion,technical mishaps and some funny moments as we learn how to come together while staying apart. Please be patient with us as we all figure this out. We will hold a Fast and Testimony meeting on the 1st Sunday of each month as we did before and I personally look forward to being able to hear your wonderful testimonies once again.

Unfortunately Primary is still suspended for the near future, Our Primary Presidency has been tasked with helping families with Primary aged children to enhance their Sabbath worship and activities with their wonderful children, and we look forward to seeing what they will have for you.

 That is a lot of information, I'm sure you will have questions and we will do our best to answer them as they come in, please do not hesitate to text,call or email me or any of the presidencies. I will also keep you updated as we finalize the software and methods of streaming to allow us all to view the Sacrament meeting and 2nd hour classes. Look forward to an email later this week with some of that information.

We will see some of you in person and the rest virtually this Sunday at Noon!

Sincerely, 

Bishop Howard Jackman
