Summer Youth Camp 

We are excited for the upcoming ward summer youth camp to be held Thursday, May 30 through Sunday, June 2!  The camp will be held locally, with activities held at the church building and other locations in the DFW area.  Highlights include:

Thursday, May 30: Classes/workshops focused on life skills and spiritual development and a group activity.  YM and YW will separate that evening for dinner and activities.  

Friday, May 31: YM and YW continue separate activities in the morning, followed by boating, a BBQ, activities, and Bishopric devotional.

Saturday, June 1: Service activity, group activity, and dinner/movie night.

Sunday, June 2: Testimony meeting in the evening.

The first action item for you is to complete the survey using the following link: Youth Camp Survey

We ask that this form be filled out for all youth in the ward (whether or not they will be attending) TODAY. Each youth who is attending any part of camp is asked to contribute $75.  This fee cannot be paid online; please use a donation slip and envelope available by Bishop’s office and pay using cash or check made out to “Prosper 2nd Ward”.  Please make sure to indicate in the Budget category of the donation slip that the money is for Youth Camp and write the names of the youth on the slip.  We ask that these payments be given to a member of the bishopric no later than May 5.  Please contact a member of the bishopric if any youth need opportunities to earn money to pay this fee.

Temples 

Members who want to attend the Dallas Texas Temple to perform proxy ordinances now have the option to either schedule an appointment or attend without an appointment, where space is available.

As priority will be given to members with appointments, those who attend without an appointment may be asked to wait for an opportunity to participate. As it has always been, appointments will still be necessary for all members who come to receive their own ordinances (endowment and sealing).

You are encouraged to attend the temple as often as your circumstances allow.

You can reserve an appointment on https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org, in the Member Tools app, or by calling the temple. Also you may now schedule multiple appointments for any ordinance in any temple.
