Members of the Laguna Niguel stake ward councils and stake council were invited to attend a Stake Leadership Training at the Stake Center. All health and safety requirements from the state and the church were observed, including wearing facemasks and sitting six feet apart from others.
Those in attendance also were asked to prepare spiritually. President Russell M. Nelson opened General Conference last weekend with this inspired statement: “Amid social distancing, face masks, and Zoom meetings, we have learned to do some things differently and some even more effectively. Unusual times can bring unusual rewards.” Attendees were asked to record their impressions before, during, and after the meeting; and to take those impressions back to ward councils and presidency or bishopric meetings, and to counsel together on how to implement what the Spirit taught them.
Speakers included President Matthew Miller, Courtney Cope, Bryan Thacker, Scott Tanner, President Brian Neff, Emily Boyer, and Stake President Blaine Evanson.
