Stake Members LIGHT THE WORLD for Christmas 2025
From Giving Machines to Prayer Buckets, Acts of Service Spread Holiday Cheer
Christmas was a little brighter around our Salem Oregon Stake meetinghouses this year with the addition of beautiful Light the World banners celebrating the birth of our Savior and inviting our neighbors to join us in worship.
To Light the World in our communities, families, seminary classes, youth groups, and wards turned to the JustServe 2025 Christmas Catalog for ideas. Projects included wards collecting food for food pantries or distributing food boxes to local folks, young men and women caroling in their neighborhoods, and students in seminary classes carrying out a variety of creative activities (prayer buckets, candy cane messages, Christmas cards) to bring comfort and cheer to others. To further spread the light, participants recorded themselves and shared their posts on stake sponsored Instagram and Facebook accounts.
Also on social media, missionaries from our stake who are serving around the world—places like Texas, Brazil, and Sierra Leone—shared a few words of their testimonies of the Savior and the joy of the season. Salem stake members Light the World wherever they are!
