Our stake presidency has promised that as you make the effort to attend these meetings, you will feel our Heavenly Father's love for you. Please take this great opportunity to gather together as friends and members of the Savior's Church to learn, feel the Spirit of the Holy Ghost, and enjoy the association one with another.
