Dear Stake Members,
We feel very blessed to be serving with you here in South Weber. We hope that each of you is looking forward to an amazing 2026!
We testify that the Savior Jesus Christ is “the way, the truth, and the life.” As we start the new year, may we suggest that each of us prayerfully consider and write down a few personal and family resolutions that will help us more intently follow Him?
As you consider your personal goals, here are a few priorities we have set for our stake:
1. “Joyfully Gather Israel One by One in Christ” is the Utah Area Vision. Each of us can ask, “How am I helping to gather Israel?” Am I finding joy as I work on my own spiritual health, participate fully in my ward, and fulfill ministering and service assignments? Where could I improve?
2. “Walk With Me” is the youth theme for 2026. What can we do in our homes, wards, and as a stake to help our children and youth walk with the Savior?
3. Daily Prayer and Scriptures are indispensable habits for Latter-day Saints. This year we will study the Old Testament together. In addition, we and our families have been promised blessings as we read from the Book of Mormon each day. How am I doing in each of these areas?
4. Ministering. We help each other along the covenant path through selfless service and ministering. Could I be a better ministering brother or sister? Am I staying connected with those I minister to and with my assigned Relief Society or elders quorum leaders through regular ministering interviews?
5. Missionary Work. The gospel of Jesus Christ provides answers to life’s most important questions. Are there areas of my testimony that could use strengthening? Could I pray for opportunities to share the gospel and invite others to come unto Christ? Am I exercising faith and preparing to serve, if possible, in an at-home or away-from-home mission?
6. Temple and Family History Work. We come closer to Jesus Christ as we keep covenants and participate in temple ordinances. Could I attend the temple more regularly or serve in the temple? Could I add names or memories to my family tree, or help someone else participate in temple or family history work?
7. Self-Reliance and Emergency Preparedness. Each of us should consider ways to become more temporally and spiritually self-reliant. Our stake offers free self-reliance classes focused on developing practical life skills. This year we also plan to emphasize family emergency preparedness, including food, water, and financial preparedness.
We are grateful for you and your faith. We look forward to walking together in discipleship as we follow the Savior in the coming year.
Sincerely,
South Weber Stake Presidency
