T0 ALL PRIESTHOOD

Dear Brethren,

Planning for the upcoming Priesthood Assembly October 2 & 3, 2010, at Kirtland, Ohio, continues.  Following is information you will need when planning for attendance at the Assembly:

1. Travel

Each person will need to make their own arrangements for lodging and transportation.  It is about 880 miles to Kirtland from Independence, which will mean you will probably want to plan an overnight stay both coming and going.  Terre Haute, Indiana is a good place to find adequate lodging.

2. Kirtland Lodging

The Red Roof Inn Motel has recently been renovated and is our choice for lodging.  Arrangements have been made for a block of rooms, single and double, for Saturday, October 2, 2010 at a rate of $43.99 plus tax.  We presume this rate will also apply if you decide to come early or stay after the Assembly.  The motel will hold our block of rooms up to two weeks prior to October 2^nd.

3. Reservations

Please make your reservations as early as possible.  The phone number for the motel is 440-946-9872 and the address is 4166 State Route 306, Willoughby, Ohio 44094.  When making reservations, be sure to mention the Remnant Church.  Most of the priesthood will probably leave home on Friday, October 1^st and stay overnight, continuing on to Kirtland on Saturday, October 2^nd.

Cancellations

Reservations can be cancelled by calling 24 hours prior to Saturday, October 2^nd.

4.      Services

Saturday - You should plan to arrive in Kirtland no later than early afternoon, October 2^nd, so you will have sufficient time to rest and prepare yourself for the service that evening.  Please assemble outside the Temple at 6:00 PM on Saturday evening, ready to worship and dressed appropriately for worship in the Temple (no jeans, etc.). The service will conclude at 9:00 PM .  Sunday – Sunday morning services will begin at 8:00 AM and conclude at 11:00 AM.  Again, please arrive a few minutes early, prepared to worship.

5.      Registration

The following registration form should be completed and returned to Church Headquarters as soon as possible so we can determine an accurate count of those who will be attending the Assembly.  There is no cost for registration.

Further details on the program and preparations will be forthcoming.
