Sisters and Brothers—
Last year, we began a stressful test of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual fortitude. We divvied up Sunday sacrament by last name. We have truly had our patience tested, which has given us experience and perspective we wouldn’t have gained without Covid-19 and all that it brought with it.
“And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
“And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
Romans 5:3-5
As we go through this process of being tested, it becomes easier for us to feel the Holy Ghost in our lives. I hope we’ve all found that.
However, with immunizations increasingly available and weather warming up, we are continuing to make strides to making worship services more in line with what we are used to. One significant update came this week when we were informed that we no longer have to limit the number of people in attendance at sacrament.
So, starting tomorrow, March 21, all families and individuals are invited to attend sacrament meeting every Sunday. We will continue to exercise wisdom and prudence with regard to physical distancing and disinfection of surfaces. We also continue to encourage wearing masks.
We will also continue to broadcast sacrament for the time being for members and visitors who are unable to attend in-person. The link is below:

At-home sacrament is also authorized for tomorrow. As always, it should be administered by worthy priesthood holders of the appropriate office. Please reach out to a member of the bishopric with any questions.
We will continue to host “second-hour” classes and meetings via Zoom or other technology. We continue to look forward to the opportunity to meet in-person for those, but that time is not yet.
I love you all and look forward to seeing more of you in person this Sunday.
Bishop Bennett
