Fireside

Youth fireside on Sunday, Jan. 9 at 7:00 pm @ the Stake Center

President Foulger and other Stake Leaders will present counsel and answer questions pertaining to standards.

Please encourage your youth to attend.

We feel that a Stake Standards night is important to have again, though it may seem like a repeat.

*In Alma 37:35 we are told our youth need to learn wisdom, and we hope they will do so on Jan. 9. If there is any topic you as ward leaders feel we need to address, please make suggestions.
