In earlier ages during times of great wickedness, the Lord has often called His precious children to-gether. With prophetic power, Enoch spoke of our day in these words;

"And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten;... to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare ... that my people may gird up their loins... and it shall be called Zion. (Moses 7: 62)

We live in the latter days, of the latter day. We live in a time of great wickedness, a time when evil is broadcast from every corner. We also live in the dispensation of the fullness of times. A time when the kingdom of our God is fully restored and stands as a city set on a hill. In such a day, we invite you to come and "taste Zion". Come and join with the other single adults living in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Canada. Come and learn, and laugh, and serve, all within the shadow of the Detroit Michigan Temple. Come and feel the power of the restored truth. Come and leave the cares for the world behind, meet some new friends, and celebrate in the safety of the gospel.

Come, let us go up to Zion and let thy confidence wax strong. The Michigan / Ohio, Multi-stake Single Adult Council
