Friends of the Palmdale California Stake

In addition to Stake Conference this coming Sunday, be sure to tune in at 3pm (local time) for a broadcast concerning the Children and Youth Program!

In this week's "Come, Follow Me", we learn of the Knight family and how they sustained the Prophet Joseph Smith during the translation of the Book of Mormon. Joseph Knight Sr. would travel 30 miles to bring the young Prophet paper, potatoes, money, and other items in an effort to support and contribute to efforts of the Restoration of the gospel (see https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org//the-knight-and-whitme). How can we follow the humble and selfless efforts of Joseph Knight? How can we better sustain our leaders, parents, spouses, etc?

Join the Stake Presidency as they thank Brother Barnes for his service and welcome his replacement.

"May we be good citizens of the nations in which we live and good neighbors in our communities, reaching out to those of other faiths, as well as to our own. May we be men and women of honesty and integrity in everything we do." - President Thomas S. Monsoon ("Until We Meet Again," October 2008 general conference)

A Message from the North America West Area Presidency - A Special Day of Fasting 9/27: Dear Brothers and Sisters, We extend our love to you and want you to know we are praying for your safety and well-being.... This is a time of significant challenge and economic struggle for many as efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 continue and devastating wildfires burn across Washington, Oregon and California. We assure each of you that our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, are mindful of us and our individual needs. We can turn to Them for peace and comfort. Sunday, September 27, 2020, is a fast Sunday. It is also the weekend just prior to October General Conference. As an Area Presidency, we invite you to join us in a special day of fasting and mighty prayer. The purpose of this fast is five-fold: 1. To pray for increased understanding and personal revelation in preparation for general conference and the prophetic guidance and messages we will receive. 2. To pray that those suffering the physical, emotional, and economic impact of COVID-19 will be blessed according to their needs. 3. To pray that the hearts of people everywhere will be softened and turned toward the Lord in humility and that faith in Jesus Christ will increase on the earth. 4. To pray for spiritual strength to overcome fear and anxiety, for inspiration to protect ourselves and our families, and for the awareness and ability to minister to those in need. 5. To ask the Lord to bless and inspire our leaders as they address the complex challenges facing our nation and seek to protect the health and well-being of all people. We invite you to consider a generous fast offering and based on your personal circumstances, a donation to the Humanitarian Fund. We encourage each of you to seek opportunities to reach out to those around you who need assistance and support. Sincerely, Kevin W. Pearson Scott D. Whiting Mark A.
