Join us online for a one-day conference on Saturday, January 25, 2025. Starting at 9:00 AM (BC), 10:00 AM (AB), and 11:00 AM (SK and MB), this is a wonderful opportunity to connect as a community, find encouragement in the heart of winter, and elect delegates for World Conference (May 30–June 6, 2025).
Interested in being a delegate? We’d love to hear from you! Email Shannon McAdam at [email protected] by January 10, 2025, to join the list—spots are still open, and your voice matters. We’ll also take time to consider at least two priesthood calls, making this an important and meaningful gathering. Let’s come together to reflect, connect, and look forward to what’s ahead!
