Invitation to participants for Walters Hill Ward sacrament for change in bishopric

7 August 2020

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

You are invited to participate in the Walters Hill Ward in-person sacrament meeting this Sunday, Aug 9, at 10:30 am at the stake center. You will have a designated seat on the stand.

Due to prescribed limitations of in-person meetings, we regret you will not be able to invite your families to join you in this meeting. An exception has been granted to the outgoing and incoming bishops. 

The meeting will be webcast to all ward members and, for those involved in the setting apart afterwards, you are invited to arrange for a live stream of the setting apart to those of your choosing. All settings apart will be conducted in the chapel overflow shortly after the close of the sacrament meeting.

Only those seated on the stand and Brothers Mueller (technology support) and Eldredge (High Councilor over facilities) are receiving this email. Will each of you please share this information with those you’ve been authorized to invite?

Please take note of the following guidelines for this in-person meeting:

• Families attending are to sit together and away from others in the chapel;

• Everyone inside the building must always wear a face covering (mouth and nose) except when speaking at the pulpit;

• Please do not hug or shake hands with those outside your family;

• All who speak at the pulpit are asked to use a disinfectant wipe (to be provided) to wipe down the microphone and pulpit surface after each use;

• Due to social distancing requirements, children unable to remain seated are asked not to attend;

• Those older than 60 years of age attend at their own risk;

• If needed, use only the restrooms closest to the chapel (women’s off the north hall, men’s off the south hall);

• In order to limit in-person exposure, those connected to the current bishopric please enter and exit through the ward-side doors; those in the new bishopric enter and exit through the stake-side doors;

• To minimize the number of vehicles in the parking lot, please carpool wherever possible;

• The sacrament will not be administered in this meeting, so please arrange for the sacrament to be administered at home.

The program, including those conducting, prayers, music and speakers, have been assigned by the stake presidency.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact President Lewis at 503-914-8689.

We look forward to joining with you for this very special sacrament meeting.
