Clearfield LDS stake shuts down for swine flu

CLEARFIELD, Utah — Numerous H1N1 flu cases in the south Clearfield and

north Layton area shortened services this past Sunday for many members

of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.The same cases have also postponed a stake girls camp.Rather

than holding its traditional three-hour service block, the Clearfield

Utah South Stake held one-hour sacrament meetings on Sunday and then

sent everyone home, said Kara Sheen, a member of the Windsor Meadows

2nd Ward, the only Layton ward in the stake.Sheen said the early dismissal involved each ward in the stake.\"They

read a letter (at the meeting) from the stake presidency from the

pulpit,\" she said. The letter basically stated the flu had hit the

community.
