The temple staff is aware that the Monday times may interfere with picking up children from school. If you need to leave early on Monday for this purpose, you are welcome to do so. All brothers and sisters need to be endowed and show their current temple recommend upon arrival. Members should come wearing Sunday dress and will be given white scrubs to wear while cleaning. They should also wear or bring comfortable shoes in which to work (the shoes do not need to be white). Please enter the main entrance when arriving at the temple.

Humanitarian Service Opportunity
Wednesdays from 9:000am - 12:00pm
833 East 500 North - American Fork, UT
Blankets can be picked up in the Relief Society Room to crochet around. The humanitarian group accepts donations -- if you have spare yarn, or even grocery bags (laid flat) they will take them. They also sell some items, all proceeds go to helping further the humanitarian aid. I've heard they have hand made items like blessing dresses, jewelry, even clothing items donated by stores, and even puzzles. Check it out each Wednesday morning from 9:00am-12:00pm at the Stake Center.
Ward Choir
Practices are now Sunday mornings from 9:00 to 9:45 in the Relief Society room.
