All youth and adult leaders of the Utah mission trip this summer are asked/urged/required to come to a final training with Mel & Linda Stocks on July 8 @ 3p.m. at the Rock. Please allow at least two hours for this final training where both Mel and Linda will be sharing and giving specific information for us about reaching out to, praying for, and interacting with Mormons.
