  • Look unto Christ: Worldwide Event for Youth
    Sunday, October 26th
     The broadcast will be made available before the 26th and we encourage wards to view it with their youth that Sunday. Elder Holland will share a special message for youth along with President Emily Belle Freeman, Young Women General President, and President Timothy L. Farenes, Young Men General President. Local leaders are invited to plan a gathering where young men and young women can view this broadcast together and then have an opportunity to reflect and share how they have come closer to the Savior throughout the year. The Stake Youth Leadership Committee has chosen to leave this up to the wards to do on a ward level. If your ward has a smaller group of youth and would like to combine with another ward, please reach out to a member of the Stake Young Men’s or Stake Young Women’s Presidency. 
    Event Link: Gospel Library and broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Video will also be available on the Strive to Be YouTube channel and Media Library.

Elders Quorum:

WhatsApp has been selected as the 43rd Ward Elder’s Quorum communication tool.
Install WhatsApp on your mobile device and join the “43rd Ward Elder’s Quorum” community to receive General Messages, Notices on Activities and Service Opportunities, and to post chats related to the Elders Quorum.

  • Why WhatsApp instead of text messaging:  The church does not have a general text messaging service which makes it difficult to send group-wide messages among the various cell phone companies.  WhatsApp is secure and encrypted and many other wards are using WhatsApp for messaging.  The WhatsApp application runs on your mobile phone, tablet, PC, or via the Web and your WhatsApp account can be sync’d between all your devices if you install WhatsApp on more than one device.

  • WhatsApp Installation instructions are detailed in the Word document linked below.  Open and follow the instructions.  If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to any member of the Elders Quorum presidency. CLICK HERE for installation instructions.
