Therefore, if you will ask of me you shall receive; if you will knock it shall be opened unto you.
Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of Zion;
Seek not for riches but for wisdom, and behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made rich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich.

Doctrine and Covenants 6:5–7

Announcements

Paying for upcoming temple trips

Members participating in the upcoming temple trip 22 March are encouraged to pay the ward for their train tickets as soon as possible. This will help keep the ward budget on track and allow the ward to plan additional temple trips.

The cost for the temple trip is $17.60 per person roundtrip. Payment may be made two ways:

• Cash or check: On the Tithing and Other Offerings form, write “temple trip” under “Other”. Hand the envelope only to a member of the bishopric.
• Online: Using the church’s online donations portal, put the amount for your ticket under “General Offerings”. If possible, notify Bishop Joyce that you have made payment so the ward can reallocate the amount to the correct budget category.
