ORANGE STAKE CONFERENCE – AUGUST 10-11
We have another wonderful opportunity to gather for Stake Conference on Saturday, August 10th and Sunday, August 11th.

We invite you to prepare for a meaningful conference in the following ways:
- Read and discuss as a family–or with friends–the talk President Russell Nelson gave in April General Conference: Rejoice in the Gift of Priesthood Keys (churchofjesuschrist.org)
- Before Stake Conference, either:
- Perform one or more temple ordinances,
- Prepare one or more ancestor’s names for temple ordinances, or
- Visit the Newport Beach Temple grounds and take some time to feel God’s love for you and ask Him how you can best serve Him at this important time of your life.
The Stake Conference schedule is as follows:
August 10th
· Leadership Meeting: 3pm for all members of stake, ward and branch councils and their counselors and secretaries
· Adult Evening Meeting: 7pm for all adult members of the stake and any adult friends you would like to invite

Sincerely yours,
The Orange California Stake Presidency
