Have you ever felt that your life took a path that you did not expect?

Ruth left behind everything she knew to follow her mother-in-law. Meanwhile, Hannah wept in silence, bearing a sorrow that no one else could see. Neither of the two lived the life she had imagined but, both learned that faith must not depend upon circumstances.

This week, we invite you to read their stories and to reflect, as you study Ruth 1 and Samuel 1-7

Dear Seminary Graduates,

Congratulations on this wonderful achievement! More important than completing seminary is the faith and testimony you have built along the way.

As you move forward, remember the Savior, trust in the Lord, and continue to seek His guidance. The lessons you have learned and the testimony you have gained will bless you throughout your life. May the Lord guide and strengthen you in all that lies ahead.

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” — Proverbs 3:5–6

Our Sandpoint community is heartbroken after the tragic Memorial Day accident near Sagle that forever changed multiple families.

Coy Jensen and Josh Pilch tragically lost their lives far too soon. Coy was kind, compassionate, and loved by everyone who knew him. Josh was a devoted father and loyal friend who was always willing to help others.

Kurt and Franny Hoopes survived the crash but suffered severe injuries and now face multiple surgeries and a long road to recovery. They are two of the most loving and selfless people you could ever meet.

Please keep the Pilch, Jensen, and Hoopes families in your prayers and support them however you can during this incredibly difficult time.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1

Helping people in need involves generous hands and a willing heart. The Savior was the greatest example of this. As we go about our day, ask “who can I serve?”
