Stake-Wide Fast for Precipitation | February 1st
President Dewey has invited our stake to join together in fasting this Sunday, February 1st. Our area is experiencing historically low rainfall and snowpack levels, and without meaningful precipitation soon, we may face a serious drought affecting our communities and daily lives.
President Dewey’s message to us was: “As we unite in fasting and prayer, we do so with humble hearts trusting that the Lord hears His children and has power to bless and provide.
The Savior taught the Nephites: “Whatsoever things ye shall ask the Father in my name shall be given unto you. Therefore, ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for he that asketh, receiveth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened.” (3 Nephi 27:28–29).“
If you’re able to participate, please consider including this intention in your fast this Sunday or let it be part of your prayerful consideration as you fast.
Worldwide Young Adult Devotional | February 1st
Young adults ages 18-35 are invited to participate in a worldwide devotional with Elder Patrick Kearon and Sister Jennifer Kearon this Sunday, February 1st at 6:00pm MST. The broadcast will be available live on YouTube, Gospel Stream, and BYUtv, with additional languages available on-demand starting February 8th. Consider organizing local gatherings to watch together!
