If You Are Prepared You Need Not Fear
Fall Conference
September 23-25, 2022
Layton / Syracuse Utah
We have been warned in the scriptures, and we can see on the news, that a troubling season is fast approaching, but if we are prepared we need not fear.
The time to prepare is NOW!
We all need to stand independent... but we also need each other. We each have the responsibility to provide for our own families, but there is no way we can do it all by ourselves. We need a community with everyone doing their part... sharing their knowledge, trade, or skills.
This Conference / Preparedness Fair is an opportunity to learn a skill or knowledge that you can teach/share with others.
If everyone will ponder and pray about what they can contribute,
we can feel secure in our ability to weather the storm with peace and confidence.
Don't pass on this opportunity.
Be pro-active. Be an asset... not a liability.
Let's all work together so we are all prepared, so we need not fear!
