Last night we attended a Stake meeting in the Yakima Stake where they announced a realignment of the ward boundaries and the creation of a new ward in Yakima! We are growing and we are excited!
This morning our office couples poured over the maps with the boundary changes. Here are the before and after maps:
These Yakima Wards were also given new names. Instead of the Yakima 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th Wards, they became the Randall Park Ward, the Summitview Ward, The Ahtanum Creek Ward, and the Cottonwood Canyon Ward. The new ward will be called the Meadowbrook Ward.
We are so excited for the grown of the church in this area. Stake President Button announced that he anticipates creating another new ward here within the next 18 months. We love the members here and the wonderful influence for good they are in our local community.
