Temple Ordinance Coordinator

Are you experiencing difficulties completing some of your temple baptisms, initiatories, or endowments?

Would you be willing to assist other ward members in completing ordinances for their families?

To facilitate the completion of temple work for ward members, we have established a coordinator who will collect and distribute ordinance cards.

Brother Kenneth Sherwood will collect ordinance cards from those who require assistance and distribute them to those who are available to complete the ordinances.

Kindly provide or email your ordinance cards to Bro. Sherwood, or contact Bro. Sherwood to obtain available ordinance cards.

Brother Sherwood can be reached via email at ken.pamalan@gmail.com.
