Tyler Maxwell's Baptism

Congratulations to Tyler Maxwell who was baptized today!  We are so proud of you Tyler!

After serving for NINE years in the Deaf Branch, the Maxwells are returning to their home ward.  They have served so diligently throughout the years and have been a Godsend.  We will miss them very much!

ASL Temple Sessions

One of the highlights of this past year was the ASL Temple Endowment Session especially for the Deaf that was implemented here in our very own St. George temple!  Members of our Branch worked diligently for months with the St. George Temple Presidency as well as the Temple Department in Salt Lake to bring the ASL Session here.  St. George is only the 2nd temple in the whole world to receive a special endowment session completely in American Sign Language.  Our first session was September 19th (part of our Deaf Branch Conference).  We continue to enjoy this wonderful blessing and are excited to see more and more of the temple ordinances done completely in American Sign Language so that everyone can receive them in their own language!

Strenghening Marriage Classes

Joyanne Burdett did such a wonderful job teaching our Strengthening Marriage Classes each month!  For each class we had a wonderful potluck meal and then enjoyed the lessons and class participation.  Thanks Joyanne for all of your hard work!  We really appreciate you!

Christmas Party

This morning we woke up to SNOW!!  The kids loved it!  This morning our Branch had a wonderful Christmas party and program.  We had a huge turn out!  Betty Jones taught some Christmas songs to the kids in sign language and Brother Zemp had some of the members sign a Christmas Story.  Brother and Sister Radford dressed up as Mary and Joseph.  Brother Harris came as "Santa's Helper" and passed out bags of goodies to all of the children.  Thank you so much to the activities committee for all of your hard work putting this party together!!

Fall Dinner

We enjoyed our Deaf Branch Fall Dinner!  Our Activities Committee always does such a wonderful job!
