Due to the size of our group we will be unable to meet in person for our 2020 Vision Celebration. What happens when trials and hard times appear in the Smith Family? They make something great anyway.
We are happy to announce that our scheduled speakers are still preparing and sharing messages to help us enjoy this 2020 Vision Celebration year. The 200th First Vision Anniversary needs to be celebrated by the Joseph Smith Sr. and Lucy Mack Smith Family. The family stood by Joseph. They encouraged and supported him in this miraculous event. We need to mark this occasion and strengthen our spiritual and family relationships.
Because we won’t be gathering together physically, we are scheduling this event online for Monday, October 26th, 2020 at 7:00 PM (MDT). What better way to spend a family night than to be gathered together in our smaller family units to honor our ancestors? Mark this on your calendars. The link to watch the YouTube Live 2020 Vision Celebration will be posted here before the event when it is available.
Pancake Meal…. by Candlelight
We can’t sit down at the same table and venue, but we can all sit down with our family before our 2020 Vision Celebration and enjoy a meal the Joseph Smith Sr. and Lucy Mack Smith family would have eaten together. Add more fun eating your meal by candlelight.
“There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one small candle” – Robert Alden
Place a candle in your window for the week before our event. When your friends ask why you have a candle in the window invite them to join our 2020 Vision Celebration. The candle was often placed in the window when a member of the family was away. A glowing candle in the evening was also placed in the window announcing good news or as an encouragement to tired travelers. Candles also represented friendship and were seen as a sign of welcome to others.
