Bishopric Reorganized

As members of the Bloomington 7th Ward extended a vote of thanks to Ryan Barton for his service since February 2009 as 2nd Counselor in the bishopric, they also raised their hands to sustain Roy Stephen to the position, called to serve by the spirit of revelation and in accordance with the Law of Common Consent.

A lifetime scouter, an avid fisherman and golfer, and most recently the Young Men's president, Brother Stephen is no stranger to service in a bishopric. While living in Oakland, California he was in a Vietnamese branch presidency. Soon after moving to Bloomington, he was called to serve as a counselor to Bishop Dean Christensen and later to Bishop Jim Ottesen.

In between fishing trips and golf games, Brother Stephen will have duties relating to oversight of the YM/YW program, Scouts, music, Activities Committee, fast offerings, stake farm, preparedness, Deseret Industries and the cannery.
