Worship Today - Indoors 10AM and Live-Streamed Online
It is communion Sunday. Please make sure to get your individual communion element pack on your way into the sanctuary.
Our very own Rev. Elaine Besthorn will be preaching.
For those of you viewing online, thank you for your patience as we work to improve our online capabilities each week. If the live-stream isn't working during the regular worship time, the full recorded worship will be available by mid-afternoon online.
A drop bin for school supplies for the Pack the Backpacks initiative will be available on your way into worship.
Thank you for continuing to wear masks indoors at worship.
Childcare for those ages 1-4 will be available on our playground. Please make sure your child has sunscreen and brings their own labeled water bottles.
If you are worshipping with us online, you can print the Children's Worship Materials for today (see attached).

Packing the Backpacks Event - next Sunday
A new school year is always filled with excitement, anxiety and hope for parents and kids alike. This year, many of us are feeling those emotions even more strongly. How better to process these feelings than with our Wasatch family!
Saturday, August 14 @ 6:30pm, we will be holding an outdoor event to send our children, youth, teachers and administrators off into the school year with prayers and love. It will not be a full worship service, but instead Pastor Elaine will lead a back to school devotional and we will prayerfully bless the children and present them with a token of our love to carry through the school year. We'll incorporate a Q & A time for the kids to get to know our newest pastor and then we'll follow it all up with ice cream treats for everyone!
Please bring your chairs and your backpacks and join us!
