Primary classes for children are held every Sunday during the second hour.

The General Conference will be held April 6-7. Sessions will be at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and 5 p.m. on Saturday. There will be no meetings at the ward building on that Sunday.
The course of study this year is the Book of Mormon. Personal study for the week of April 8-14 should be centered on Jacob 5-7.
The “Come Follow Me” manual says “There are many, many people who haven’t yet heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you ever feel overwhelmed by the immensity of the task of gathering them into the Lord’s church, what Jacob said about olive trees in Jacob 5 has a reassuring reminder: ‘The vineyard belongs to the Lord.’
“He has given each of us a small area to assist in His work—our family, our circle of friends, our sphere of influence. And sometimes the first person we help gather is ourselves. But we are never alone in this work, for the Lord of the vineyard labors alongside His servants (see Jacob 5:72).”
