Dear Sisters and Brothers,
The Grieving with the Savior class will resume this Sunday, March 9, at the Salem Oregon
Stake Center on Lone Oak Street.
Grieving with the Savior is a group class designed to help people understand the grieving
process, learn how to invite the Savior into that sacred space, and connect with others who
understand the difficult path of grief.
The group will meet for six weeks beginning March 9th, from 7:00 - 8:30 pm, in the Relief
Society room at the stake center.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Genevieve Fredrickson by phone (503-507-5316) or email
gfredrickson2005@gmail.com.
With love,
Genevieve Fredrickson,
Stake Self-Reliance Specialist

Jun 7th: Camp Kilowan Day of Service 9am, 6510 Teal Creek Rd Dallas, OR 97338. Every year our youth enjoy camp activities at our Church owned property called Camp Kilowan (Kay-LOW-an). Every Stake that uses the camp is asked to provide a minimum of 100 hours of service once a year to help maintain the property and prepare for county inspections. This year Salem Stake has been asked to provide service just before camp starts! We have been asked to deep clean the buildings and provide smoke detector maintenance. *please bring cleaning tools and supplies for areas such as sleeping areas, bathrooms, shower rooms, commercial kitchen, etc. There is also a never ending list of other small projects and repairs that need to be done. If you have the skills, please reach out to Elder and Sister Kelly at CampKilowan@churchservicemail.org
