Young Men's update (2-29-16)

Hi everyone! 

This past Wednesday, we planned to go bowling with all the young men (but wait times caused us to go to Village Inn for a Pie Night with the young men and leaders)! It was fun!

This Tuesday (tomorrow night), we will have the young men who need Citizenship in the Nation go to Bishop Anderson's house and watch/discuss the news at his house. This includes the majority of the Varsity Scouts and all the Boy Scouts.

Please meet at his house at 7:00.

Young Men's update (2-3-16)

Hi everyone! Happy February!

Many of the young men attended the PROVO CITY CENTER TEMPLE open house last Wednesday (as an fyi, you can now go whenever you want--without tickets. This update was just announced this, so make sure you see it before they dedicate it!). We had a great time--thanks to those who attended! The Spirit we felt and the beauty of that edifice impacted us all, and reminded us how thankful we should be for the many temples surrounding us in this area.

This Wednesday (tonight), we will be finishing up the CITIZENSHIP IN THE NATION merit badge (Bishop Anderson will be leading the instruction). Please make sure all young men bring their merit badge handouts/packets.

Young Men's update (1-7-16)

Hi everyone!

We had a great night last evening as we kicked off our Youth Conference with a RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS activity. Ask your son about it. I think it went over very well!

Youth Conference is this Friday!

Meet at the church at 4:00 p.m. sharp! We handed out a packing list last evening with what is required. Each young man should have one. If they do not (or were not there), please let me know asap.

We will return on Sat. around 4:00 p.m. (hopefully a bit earlier).

Below is a link to the permission slip you must sign to allow your child to attend. Please print it out and send it with your son on Friday if they have not already handed a signed permission slip in to us.
