  • Thank you for continuing to wear masks indoors at worship.

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!
