ANNOUNCEMENTS
First Presidency statement on Middle East violence
The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued this statement on 12 October 2023:
We are devastated by the recent eruption of violence and loss of life in the Middle East. Violence of this nature is abhorrent to us and is not in harmony with the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is a gospel of peace. At such times, our hearts ache for all victims of this atrocity.
As servants of God, we affirm that He calls upon all of us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and we pray for a peaceful resolution of all conflicts.
Join the ward choir!
The Jamaica 1st Ward choir is being relaunched! A somewhat impromptu choir performance will take place in sacrament meeting next Sunday, 22 October, and preparations will begin for performing for our Christmas sacrament meeting. For more information, contact Sister Melanie Gee (contact info at ChurchofJesusChrist.org/directory or in the Member Tools app).
