This three-day conference is designed to inspire faith, foster belonging, and build community. With breakout sessions, speakers, and music that address spiritual, emotional, and professional growth, it offers meaningful experiences for every young single adult. The Sunday devotional at the Conference Center will feature a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Scheduling the Building
To schedule the building, Bro Woodward had created a direct email for people to request building reservations rather than calling him (see his instructions below):
I now have an email set up specifically for scheduling the building.
cc3scheduling@gmail.com
I’d like all further requests (from all ward and stake members) to be directed to this email only as it makes it easier for me to get all events scheduled as soon as possible.
For anyone who needs to schedule something, please include your name, contact info, the type of event (including what sections of the building are needed such as the gym or pavilion) and what day(s) and time(s) they need.
I will respond within 24-48 hours letting them know it’s been scheduled or if their time slot is occupied already.
English Language Classes
English as a second language (ESL) classes are being offered at the Stake Center every Thursday evening from 7:00 to 8:00 and all are welcome. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Lisa Hill at 801-712-2910.

Stake History Publication Now Available
We want to let the ward know that we still have several of these books available. Please check with the bishopric or any of the clerks if you are interested in one for your library.
Sandy Utah Cottonwood Creek Stake
Brothers and Sisters,
We are excited to announce the publication and availability of “Worthy of Remembrance” a history of the Sandy Cottonwood Creek Stake 1978-2022. Sister Terri Packer, a member of our stake, has done an amazing job compiling and writing the history.
The stake has subsidized the cost of publishing the history in an effort to make the book available to as many people as possible. The history contains spiritually uplifting experiences shared by members of our stake in their own words. It includes interesting information about the area, the history, and creation of our Stake. The book is beautiful, readable, inspiring, and full of many, many, photographs, which tell a history of their own.
Copies are available now. Ward clerks have access to the books and can help with the process of purchasing the history. The cost of the book is $10. Each ward has received a small number of copies to provide to those wishing to purchase. More copies are available for wards to obtain. In addition, copies of the history will be placed in each of our meetinghouse libraries for those who would like to explore the book without purchase.
Those who live outside of the stake and are interested in purchasing a copy may contact our stake executive secretary, Don McOmie, to coordinate receiving a copy.
We hope that you will find the history to be as wonderful and inspiring as we have. It bears witness of the hand of the Lord at work in the Sandy Cottonwood Creek stake over many, many years. We highly recommend it to all.
Warm Regards,
The Stake Presidency
