Prosper Stake Youth Conference

Here are the details for Stake Youth Conference for the weekend of March 26-28th. It’s going to be a fantastic weekend and we can’t wait to get these youth together. PLEASE NOTE-Parents are responsible for dropping off and picking up their youth for each event.

Friday March 26th: Little Elm Beach 7-8:30pm

Parents will drop off and pick up their youth at Little Elm Beach. We have rented the amphitheatre and will hold our youth conference opening there. We plan to be there from 7:00pm-8:30pm. Parents are responsible to pick up and drop off their youth.

Saturday March 27th: Prosper Stake Center 11:45am-5:00pm & Group Dynamix 6-10pm

Parents will drop off their youth at the Prosper Stake Center at 11:45am. We will serve them Chick-fil-A lunch and then we will head into classes and a service project. At the conclusion of those activities a “cafe rio” style dinner will be served. We will be finished at the Stake Center at 5:00pm. At this time we will need parents to pick up youth and drive them to Group Dynamix in Carrollton. Again, parents need to pick up and drop off their youth. We will be at Group Dynamix from 6:00-10:00pm. Please have parents arrive promptly at 10:00pm to take their youth home.

Sunday March 28th: Prosper Stake Center 5:45-7:00pm

Youth born in 2007 and prior will be invited to the Stake Center to view the live Zoom with Elder Brad Wilcox. We will invite all youth ages 11-12 to view the zoom from their homes. Due to social distancing, we cannot accommodate all of the youth in the Stake Center-so in person attendance for the zoom is limited to those youth who are old enough to participate in Youth Conference. We will begin promptly at 5:45 and we expect to conclude at 7:00pm.

We are super excited for this Youth Conference and for the opportunity that it will provide for our youth to grow closer together, to strengthen their testimonies and for them to learn more about their role in this Great Work that we have been called to do. For the Youth who would like to participate virtually we will send out a link so they can view the classes virtually on Saturday as well as listen to Brad Wilcox on Sunday. Please let us know if you have any questions or how we can help you.

Stake 2021 Theme

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

This past year has been one of great trial for so many in our Stake as well as the nation and the world. In the midst of all that occurred, the living Prophet by inspiration reminded us of the healing power of "Gratitude". As a Stake Presidency, we have felt that same spirit of inspiration touch our hearts as we have considered our Stake Theme for 2021.

Here is the attachment that outlines the Prosper Texas Stake theme for 2021. In a word, the 2021 theme is

Gratitude

The scripture associated with this theme is Alma 34:38.

“That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, but that ye receive it, and take upon you the name of Christ; that ye humble yourselves even to the dust, and worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you.”

This theme will be reflected in Conferences including Youth Conference as well as talks from the Stake Presidency and High Council.

As you make your own individual and family goals and plans for 2021, we hope that you would consider "Gratitude" and allow the peace and healing associated with it to bless your lives.

May the Lord bless each of you in this coming year!

Emergency Prep

Burning Odor

If you notice burning smells from outlets or switches, turn the power off at the electrical panel and immediately contact an electrician. You may have a problem with wiring, a faulty device or an overload. This is a serious problem, as it’s a sign that an electrical fire may be starting. If any connected wires or cords are warm, you probably have an electrical issue. Do not use any of these outlets or switches until the problem has been resolved.
