2020 Virtual Reunion

Due to the size of our group we were 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.

The 200^th First Vision Anniversary was still 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. Marking this occasion we found a way to strengthen our spiritual and family relationships.

Monday, October 26^th, 2020 at 7:00 PM (MDT). As many as possible gathered for family night in smaller family units to honor our ancestors.

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.
