What wonderful news!

“Please make time for the Lord in His holy house. Nothing will strengthen your spiritual foundation like temple service and temple worship. We thank all who are working on our new temples. They are being built all over the world.

“Today I am pleased to announce our plans to build more temples at or near the following locations:” —President Russell M. Nelson

We know something about Sisu in our neck of the woods!

In a BYU campus devotional, Elder Dale G. Renlund explained what it really means to endure to the end.

Please remind and encourage our young men and women to attend our activity this week. If we plan to be at the church by 6:15, we can all leave together by 6:30 to attend the Northern Lights Music Festival performance at the B'Nai Abraham Cultural Center in Virginia. We will be enjoying a faculty performance of music by Brahms with world class musicians on the piano, cello, and viola. The performance should be an hour or less. 20 tickets for youth and 8 tickets for adult leaders have been purchased for the event. See you on Wednesday!

Our young women and men started a bee garden last week in the little woods behind the mowed area of the church property. We planted four perennials and spread lots of seeds. So far so good! If anyone in the ward wants to plant or donate more perennials, just let us know! It would be great to fill this area with flowers for bees and other pollinators.
