Youth Temple trip and Building the Family Tree

The Youth will be having their Temple Trip on Friday, July 18th. They will be meeting at the church building at 3:00 pm. If you have names you need help with getting to the temple, please give them to the youth or leaders to bring with them.

There is a Family Tree outside the Relief Society room on the bulletin board. Anytime you do family temple work, you can get a leaf from any of the Family History Consultants (listed next to the tree) to add to the tree. It is looking pretty sparse, so please take a minute to add to the tree what you have done already or make a goal to work on your Family History.
