Temple Names - Our Ward Temple and Family History Consultant, Brother Don Hammon has created a special group and link for The Sunset Ward.  This will allow those who have too many names or can't go to the temple and do the work themselves for whatever reason, the opportunity to add those names to this LINK so their temple work can be completed.  Ward members can also use any of the names listed as well. 

Choir Practice – There will be no choir practice during the month of August.  Choir practice will resume on the last Sunday of the month, August 30th, 2026 at 9.00am.  Choir rehearsals are on Sundays at 9.00 a.m.  We meet upstairs in the Relief Society room. Please contact Paul Mann for additional information.

Ward Pickleball Night - Friday's, 7pm at the church.  Pickleball night is for everyone! Bring your friends. This is a chance to build new friendships and strengthen old ones.
