MISSION PREP

See Flyer

This class provides an opportunity for graduating seniors to prepare for missions or to help them become more comfortable in sharing the gospel and deepen their conversion to Jesus Christ. Seniors from all over the south Denver area are invited to attend. We also hope this will help many have an institute experience before they graduate to receive the promised blessings that President Nelson has given regarding institute. We hope you can encourage your seniors to attend even if they are not able to make it every week.

UPCOMING ITEMS:

We are excited to announce upcoming youth basketball!  The stake has scheduled YW and YM basketball tournaments for January, following a similar format as last year with pool play on Friday nights and tournament play on Saturday mornings:

• Jan 17th and 18th - Young Men, middle school age and younger

• Jan 24th and 25th - Young Men, high school age

• Jan 31th and Feb 1st - Young Women

In addition to youth participants, each ward team will need to provide a referee and coach for each game.

Teacher Appreciation.  Nominate your favorite teacher!  Forms will be available in January.  Deadline for nomination is Feb 9.  Event date is March 26, 2025.

FSY will be held for our Stake in 2025.  Please plan for this and pencil it in on your calendar.  Dates will be 6/2-6/7; 6/9-6/14; 6/16-6/21 and/or 6/23-6/28.

TUESDAY is the last day for our priority registration.  If you have registered (or think you have registered) please check and verify your registration.  There is supposedly a computer glitch and some people who thought they had registered were not showing as registered.

Pre-Registration is open now through January!  All youth turning 14 in 2025 and older, are invited to attend  FSY this coming summer.  This is our Stake's "on cycle" year, which means we have priority registration and sessions reserved for us at CU Colorado Springs and CSU Fort Collins campus for the month of June.  Youth are not required to attend those session locations or dates but if you pre-register you will have priority.  You can pre-register now and choose, or change, a session later.

For FSY you will be required to pay a $75 deposit at the time of registration.  An additional $75 (per participant) will need to be paid to the ward via donation slip prior to attending.

For real FUTURE planning - We will be holding a Stake YM camp this year.  The dates are June 19-21.  Please note Stake YW camp will also be held this week (and this week is one of our Stake FSY priority weeks).  Please mark your calendars and plan for this as you also plan family vacations and trips this summer.  We would love to have everyone attend.  More details will be coming.
