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!

Hello parents and leaders of YCL age girls,

Our first YW Camp YCL (Youth Camp Leader) meeting will be held on Sunday, February 15 at 3:00pm at the Lone Oak Building. We invite ALL girls who would like to serve as YCL's to attend. Any young woman who has already completed 4 years at camp up through the summer after their high school graduation is eligible to help.

Christa Nyleen, Brittany Springer, and Rebekah Guest will be the adult mentors to the YCL's this year and they are excited for the girls' input and ideas and to get the planning started! Attendance at the YCL meetings is important and we ask the girls to inform these YCL adult leaders over text or email if they have an unavoidable conflict.

We will determine the rest of the YCL meeting schedule at this first meeting.

And just a reminder, Girls Camp will be held August 12-15 this year.

As always, please reach out if you have any questions.

Thanks,
The Salem Stake YW Presidency
