Single Adults -- Don't miss out on this terrific conference!!

Today a National Day of Prayer ceremony was held at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. Fifteen different congregations and religions were present to offer a devotional and prayer for God to bless us and the entire world. It was a very moving experience and one that helped all of us to better understand our common roots and helped us to build bridges of understanding. Pres. Black was one of the participants and gave a wonderful message and prayer. Our missionaries served as ushers and directed traffic. It was wonderful to see some of the elders and sisters speaking Chinese to members of that congregation. Thank you Supervisor Haubert for putting this together.

BYU Music and Dance is presenting special devotional programs Sunday and Monday and performances on Tuesday. Be sure and check out the schedule to stream the programs on your computers. The programs are only shown once and are not recorded for future viewing. Enjoy the testimony and talent of these young adults.

National Day of Prayer is a tradition that predates the founding of the United States of America, evidenced by the Continental Congress’s proclamation in 1755, setting aside a Day of Prayer. In 1952, Congress established an annual day of Prayer and, in 1988, that law was amended, designating the National day of Prayer as the first Thursday in May.

The Primaries of the Pleasanton Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints invite ALL (not just Primary families) to celebrate Easter by visiting a drive thru easter egg hunt and holy week celebration on Saturday March 27th, in the parking lot of the Pleasanton Stake Center, 6100 Paseo SantaCruz, Pleasanton. All faiths, ages, friends, families and the community are welcome to safely drive thru an egg hunt of over 100 large eggs lovingly decorated by primary chil...dren and families from the Pleasanton and Dublin area. Continue in an immersive journey as vehicles drive thru depictions of the final days of Jesus Christ's ministry on the earth through murals, art, video, scripture and song. The hunt and presentation is open to the public during the hours of 10-6pm and is free. Volunteers will also be on site to collect donations of new or gently used puzzles, books and board games to benefit "balanceboxes" -- a local non-profit organization providing academic and enrichment resources to underserved children. Participants attending should remain in their vehicles and practice safe social distancing protocols. This is a drive thru, NOT a walk thru activity. Please be respectful and kind while visiting. We hope you and your family will find enjoyment, peace and fun this Easter while engaging in this safe, uplifting and "egg-citing" experience! See more

Hey everyone! This song goes back a couple hundred years ago on the shores of Galilee, where Christ asked Peter, "Peter, do ye love me?" If you're familiar wi...th this scripture story, you know that to "Feed His Sheep" is to share the Gospel and help others come to know who Christ is. There's nothing more that our loving Heavenly Parents want than for us to return back to them . THAT'S why Christ tells Peter to "Feed His Sheep". We hope we can do a good job at portraying some of the emotions felt years ago on the other side of the world on those same shores. His Gospel is real, His Gospel is true, and through his Gospel, we are promised that if we live it, we will have joy even in these tough times. Hope you enjoy it! How do you show your love for Christ? John 21:15-17 ~ Elder Curnow, Sister Smith, and Sister Banner
