Dear members of the 5th Ward,

We love you and appreciate all your efforts to serve and to love your neighbors.

We encourage you to fast for strong and faithful families to move into our ward boundaries.  We have lost, and are losing, several wonderful families and we need to pray for wonderful families to take their places.

At this time there are members of our ward and their families whom we would like to invite you to remember this Fast Sunday as we have the opportunity to fast and pray.

If you know of any other individuals in need of special blessings please contact a member of the Bishopric.  We would welcome the opportunity to fast and pray for them as well and would be happy to add them to this list with permission.

Thank you for serving these individuals through your fasting and prayer.

-Bishop Ekker
