Stuffed Animal Drive for Fire Stations

Mark and Sally Pickett in our Stake are sponsoring a stuffed animal drive to distribute to valley fire stations for them to give to young children during emergency calls. Oftentimes, the children are overwhelmed and scared. These small gestures, such as holding a stuffed animal, help calm them and bring a sense of safety and comfort.

Dear Stake Members,

We are heartbroken to share news of a tragic shooting at an LDS meetinghouse in Michigan.

Our prayers are with the Saints in Michigan during this difficult time. Please avoid speculation and consider only sharing messages that reflect the peace and love of Jesus Christ.

As we continue to honor the life of President Nelson, let us focus on his teachings as a prophet of God, especially his call to be peacemakers. Now, more than ever, we need to embody this principle.

We will provide updates as more information becomes available. Thank you for your faith and compassion.

With love and prayers,

Your Stake Communications Team

On Aug 4, 2023, hundreds of volunteers left what they were doing to search for our daughter, Jessica. As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, many were of our faith, but there were many more who were not. We will ever be grateful, that on that day, we witnessed friends, neighbors and strangers unite in an effort to find someone many did not even know.

While our prayers were not answered the way we all hoped, they were answered. She was found. Jessica’s death is heart-breaking and saddens us, but we know that families can be together again.

If you would like to join us, and get to know our Jessica a little better, we invite you to attend her funeral and the celebration of her life on Aug 19, at the at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 4901 W Union Hills Dr. Phoenix, AZ 85308. The services will begin at 10 am.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness you have shown our family. We know we will see our Jessica again.
