Stake
Message from the Stake Presidency:
Dear members of the Orlando FL South Stake of Zion,
As we have both reviewed the Prophetic teachings of our dear Prophet President Russell M. Nelson and prayed for you, we felt the need to end 2023 and begin 2024 with a reminder of what Heavenly Father has communicated to President Nelson for you--since 2018.
1. Stay on the covenant path
2. "Hear Him"
3. Gather Israel and "let God prevail"
4. Build bridges of understanding
5. #Givethanks
6. Increase faith in Jesus Christ
7. Strengthen spiritual foundation
8. Maintain spiritual momentum
9. Focus on eternal identifiers, take "charge of your testimony"
10. Focus on the temple and find rest
11. Patience, persistence, prayer
12. Be a peacemaker
13. Seek forgiveness and forgive others
14. "Think Celestial!"
Additionally, Patriarchs are called by a loving Heavenly Father to provide inspired direction for you--in the form of a Patriarchal Blessing. Every worthy, baptized member is entitled to and should receive a patriarchal blessing.
In 2024, our Stake will have a special focus of 1) inviting you to regularly review your Patriarchal blessing before Ward Conferences, Stake trainings, Stake Conferences, etc. and 2) inviting you to obtain a Patriarchal blessing recommend if you have not done so already (by meeting with a member of the Bishopric). We know as you do so--that you will remember and feel the divine potential within you as sons and daughters of a merciful Heavenly Father.
Sincerely,
President Kurt Scherer
President Paul Waters
President Joseph Thompson
