The Cedar City Ward

Today after our regular church meetings I took the kids home and then headed out to another meeting for the formation of The Cedar City Ward.  This is a Single Adult Ward ages 31 to 45.  Yes, I qualify for that.  What I do not qualify for is that single parents with kids living at home are not allowed to move their church records to this new ward.  I wasn't planning on doing that anyway as I love the ward I am in and my children love it as well and we as a family are exactly where we need to be.  As a single adult I am invited to participate in any of the ward activities and that will be nice.  Anyhow, this was a historic day and it was good to be in the meeting.  Scott Sorenson who was released last week from our Stake Presidency was called to be the Bishop.  It actually occurred to me a few minutes before the meeting that he would likely be the Bishop.  Apparently others had already speculated on this last week when he was released.  I'm a little slow.  Ron Cardon was called as his first counselor.  Ron is a great friend and a wonderful man with tremendous faith and devotion to the Lord.  I am happy for both of these men.  The second counselor was a brother from out in Parowan and I can't remember his name.  All three of these brethren were invited to speak and they all three did a fantastic job.  It will be a great ward and will serve so many of the single adults in the area.  It is an exciting time and interesting to see what has taken place in this ward being formed.  Glad I could attend and look forward to participating in some of the activities.
