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.
