05.01.2022 Dear members of the Hebersham Stake, Due to the letter received by the First Presidency this morning regarding church gatherings, the Stake Presidency ask that you take this time to assess the current preparedness & needs of your families. We hope that many of you have had the time to prepare your store cupboards & welfare requirements. We ask that you assess the status of your store cupboards, covering such necessary items as - food, water, medication. ... It is a good idea to have a small amount of money on hand in case of emergencies, just enough to see you through in the event that you cannot get access to your bank. For those of you who may not be in a position to have these items readily available, please make contact with your local ward leaders to see what assistance can be provided. As our loving Prophet has asked, please take this time to minister to those in your care within your personal & ward family. We will keep you updated through your ward leaders & social media. Sincerely, The Hebersham Stake Presidency President Kome Purcell President A.Michael Sierra President David Harper

02.01.2022 Brothers and Sisters, the First Presidency recently requested Stake Presidents to counsel with Bishops as to the next phase of return to Church for each Stake. After the Hebersham Stake Presidency followed this request and counselled with our Bishops, it was decided that from 6 December, 2020, all Wards in the Hebersham Stake will : hold Sacrament meeting for one (1) hour weekly,... meet on the same day in their respective chapels, attend in part of that Ward one week, and the balance of the Ward on the following week, ie: on a similar basis as current. From Sunday 6 December, the schedule for one (1) hour Sacrament meetings held across the Stake will be: Doonside chapel : 9.00am Blacktown Ward 12 noon Mt Druitt Ward Hebersham chapel : 9.00am - Ropes Crossing Ward 12 noon Popondetta Ward 3.00pm Oakhurst Ward Please continue to apply the law of the land with regards distancing, and ensure that each Ward must organise to promptly and fully clean the chapel each week after it has finished its Sacrament meeting. As we approach the New Year, the Bishoprics in each chapel will discuss any rotation of the times for the 2021 year. We are pleased to increase the regularity of Sacrament meeting in our Wards and pray that the increased opportunity will help all to feel the Spirit. Hebersham Stake Presidency 30 November, 2020
