We are excited to announce our 2020 Arcadia Stake Women's Conference. It will be held on Saturday,
January 25th beginning at 9:00 a.m. at the Foothill Building. The theme
this year is "She hath wrought a good work . . . . She hath done what she could." Mark 14: 6, 8 (Chinese and Spanish invitation)
The inspiration for this theme came from a forum address at BYU, given by Sharon Eubank entitled Turning Enemies into Friends. Consider her beautiful thoughts in this quote.
"You are the gift. You yourself are the gift. It is not the clothing, the hygiene kits, the school desks, or the wells. It is you. What would it look like if each of us were our own well-stocked humanitarian organization? Instead of just giving out tangible goods in foreign locations, what if we had the richness of dispensing healing, friendship, respect, peaceful dialogue, sincere interest, protective listening of children, birthday remembrances, and conversations with strangers? What if that was what your humanitarian organization did? This kind of humanitarian work can be done by anybody and it can be done at any time. And you don't need warehouses or fundraising or transportation. You can be perfectly responsive to any need that comes to you, wherever you are. If we change our perspective so that caring for the poor and the needy is less about giving stuff away and more about filling the hunger for human contact, providing meaningful conversation, and creating rich and positive relationships, then the Lord can send us someplace. Every single person can do this on his or her own."

We are so thrilled to have Sister Sarah Carmichael Parson, the founder of Dolls of Hope (the project we will be working on at our Just Serve Activity in February) as our Keynote Speaker.

classes. At the conclusion of the classes LUNCH WILL BE SERVED!!!
