Blood drive SepT. 5th
Blood drive SepT. 5th
We have the great opportunity to participate in a community service project alongside our brothers and sisters of the Life Community Church. In remembrance of September 11th, our combined congregations will be supporting Vitalant with a blood drive the morning of Saturday, September 5, 2026. The blood drive will be held at the Life Community Church located at 717 W. Ray Rd. This is an incredible way to serve and invite your friends and neighbors to join you. It will take less than an hour of your time but will be life saving for others.
To make this a success, we need to fill all the slots available to our Stake. Please take a moment to SIGN UP HERE.

Focus more on the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Strengthen gospel learning at home.
Increase fellowship, belonging, and community at church.
In the adjusted schedule, Sunday School, Relief Society, priesthood quorums, and Young Women classes will be held each Sunday, with shorter class periods. Primary will continue to be held weekly. New Sunday curriculum will also be introduced for Aaronic Priesthood quorums and Young Women classes.
