Bi-Stake Pioneer Activity Photos

How about an old fashioned pie eating contest!

Or a ring toss?

Or a game of stick and wheel?

Thanks to all the youth that came and participated in our pioneer activity! A special thanks to all the leaders that helped to make it happen. We couldn't have done it with out you.

Permission Slips

All permission slips were due April 1st

Look forward to family assignments at the upcoming ward fundraisers.

Fascinating Historical Facts

PEF- What does that stand for?

Approximately 85,000 converts came to Utah with the help of the Perpetual Emigration Fund (PEF). This fund was set up so that those who borrowed money from the fund would repay that amount once they had settled in Utah.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

We have a similar program today, designed after the Perpetual Emigration Fund; it is called the Perpetual Education Fund (also PEF: look on your tithing slips). It works in the same way, but instead of helping Saints migrate to Utah, it is intended to help Saints educate themselves to better the communities in which they already live.
