The following message was sent out this morning from President Carnavale.
(If you did not receive it please review and update your personal information in Tools)
Dear Brothers and Sisters: We have received instructions from the Utah Area Presidency to create plans to allow us to safely return to in-person second hour activities on Sundays. We want to move cautiously to this next phase keeping in mind that the end goal is to allow our temples to reopen. We don't want to do anything that could potentially delay the reopening of temples. The following plans are set to go into effect on May 2nd, thus allowing Bishops and Organization leaders to make the necessary preparations. Here are some guidelines that we will follow:
Meeting Times
Beginning on May 2nd, we will return to our original meeting schedule:
Sacrament Meetings
Sacrament meetings will continue to be in the current format
Sacrament meetings will continue to be broadcasted for those who are at higher risk
Mask wearing is strongly encouraged especially when social distancing is not possible
Bishops will communicate plans to invite all to attend sacrament meetings - no limit on how many people can attend. Limits may be placed due to building size and ability to safely distance
At the end of each sacrament meeting, we ask that you help sanitize the building for the next ward coming in, and that you promptly go to your assigned classes
Second Hour Classes
All organizations are able to return to classes in person
Bishops, in consultation with the ward council, may choose to call a separate teacher to hold classes via Zoom as it is currently being done
Wards will work to ensure that classrooms hold an appropriate number of people and make adjustments as needed
Mask wearing is strongly encouraged especially when social distancing is not possible
Please do not gather in the hallways before, during, and after classes.
Starting and ending meetings on time is crucial to the success of these plans.
Temple Recommend Interviews
Starting on May 2nd, the stake presidency will return to the stake offices for temple recommend interviews
Interviews will take place every Sunday, except fast Sunday, from 2-3pm
You will be receiving additional instructions from your Bishop. As each ward has unique concerns regarding this plan, we feel it is important to allow each ward to make adjustments based on its specific circumstances.
Thank you Brothers and Sisters for your support and patience as we work to move back to normal meetings. We pray that the Lord will continue to bless us in our efforts, and that we will be able to worship in our temple soon.
Have a wonderful Sabbath day!
