Mt. Timp temple short 125 temple workers. Seems summer is more important to people...finally
I still haven't removed my name from the records so I get the ward emails every so often. This was sent out today.
Dear Ward Members.
This letter came to us from the Mt. Timpanogos Temple Presidency requesting additional temple workers for shifts on Fridays and Saturdays. Here is their message:
We are so grateful for your continuing support of the ordinance work in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. Your sustaining support by encouraging and providing Temple Workers makes possible the Church’s work of both Perfecting the Saints through the “covenant pathway”, as well as our work of Redeeming the Dead, in one of the busiest temples of the many that now dot the earth.
During the normal course of the year, we lose many of our workers at the beginning of summer, but in the past years we have recovered fairly quickly. This year we have had our usual summer decrease, but it has not rebounded as quickly as in the past. We are 124 workers short on our Friday and Saturday shifts as we go into midsummer, when our temple activity is significantly increased with weddings and missionary endowments.
Would you kindly ask (you) to once again consider their members abilities and commitments, and make recommendations that will help us, particularly on those days? Announcing our needs in meetings, as well as talking with specific individuals, as you are inspired, that will be both effective and helpful to this work in the Mount Timpanogos Temple.
Thank you for all (you) do for us and this great work.
Sincerely,
Mount Timpanogos Temple Presidency
