Together in Fasting and Prayer...

“Why is it that when a ward [or group] comes together in fasting and prayer, it makes a greater difference somehow than if anyone had done so alone? In part because such united efforts of the Saints are a testimony unto the heavens—a witness that Christ and his purposes take precedence over our hostilities and personality problems. The revelation says, “Be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask.” (D&C 27:18.) Or again, “If ye are not one ye are not mine.” (D&C 38:27.) Brigham Young, who learned much about prayer by listening to the Prophet, said repeatedly to the Saints that when someone prays in a congregation the rest of us should be saying in our minds what he is saying with his lips. We should repeat the very words in our minds. Then when we say “amen” we know what we are saying amen to. “Why?” Brigham asks. “So that Saints may be one.” The effectual, fervent power of united prayer cannot be overestimated. Powerful prayer unites the “Saints—unity expands the power of prayer.”

A special day of fasting and prayer...

Here is a reminder that Bishop Lynn has strongly encouraged all who can, to participate in a special day of fasting and prayer for Whitney Brown. The Brown's will be on their way back to Salt Lake this evening so that Whitney can be admitted to Primary Children's for a few more days of testing. Bishop has asked us to begin fasting this evening, to go into tomorrow evening. Please spread the word and encourage as many can to join with us...

There is strength in numbers!
Many Thank Yous!!!!!
