    NEW WARD PROGRAM FOR HELPING WITH BAPTISMS & CONFIRMATIONS
    We are kicking-off the new baptism and confirmations program this month.
    The youth will be going to the temple on April 11th to do baptisms and confirmations. There are times when they could help other ward members by taking their cards and doing the work. We are going to implement the following program: If you have baptisms and confirmations needing help to get done, give them to Gary or Ruth Ann Chambers no later than Sunday, April 9th. They will keep track of what you give them. They will coordinate with the youth leaders and get your cards to them. The youth will take them to the temple on April 11th and do as many names as they can. Names not done will be returned to you by the Chambers. Thank you for being part of the Gathering of Israel. May the Lord bless you in your efforts.
