“A Christ-Centered Vision and Plan”
Stake conference was held on November 10th and 11th, 2018. The theme was “implementing a Christ-Centered Vision and Plan.” President David Lowry presided at the conference. He emphasized the need understand God’s plan of happiness and the vision of a living prophet. Our Area Vision is to “become, and help others to become, true followers of Jesus Christ and enjoy the blessings of the holy temple.” In our stake, we want to implement the prophet’s plan with exactness and enthusiasm.
President Lowry spoke about the importance of ministering and being strongly anchored in our faith. We need to focus on things that are really matter. “If we are not very careful,” he said, “the things that matter most can be at the mercy of the things that matter least.”
