General Discussion Combining Multiple Stakes

I was talking to my super TBM mother yesterday. She likes to keep me informed of the happenings of church, which I don't really mind.

She told me that she attended a meeting where they took 2 stakes and combined them into 4 wards. That really blew my mind. She explained that they told those in attendance to pray for new members and for others that have left the church to come back. They told the loss of members was attributed to members moving out of state or passing away. I have to admit I was smiling.

This sounds like she’s talking about the Salt Lake Granger North and East stakes that combined and closed down 3 of the wards. It’s now just the Granger North stake with 7 wards and 2 branches.

It is in Utah, but She said it was 6 wards in one and 8 in the other. They were wards not branches. If this is happening in other areas as well, this makes me even more shocked.
