Dear Stake Members:
We just wrapped up our recent stake youth camp at Heber Valley and we love the youth! It was a powerful opportunity for our youth to step away from daily distractions, strengthen friendships, and draw closer to Jesus Christ.
Surrounded by the beauty of the mountains, they participated in uplifting activities, physical challenges, meaningful devotionals, and shared experiences that helped build faith, unity, and confidence. If you have yet to experience the Walk with Christ at Heber Valley Camp, we encourage all to attend - it was a highlight of camp for all who attended.
We are grateful for the many leaders, youth, and volunteers who made this camp such a memorable and spiritually strengthening experience. As we turn to barbecues, summer holiday celebrations, and family vacations - we hope all will make their own path of Walking with Christ a priority.
With Love,
Saratoga Springs Stake Leaders

Covenant Path Tool Update
The Church has updated the Covenant Path tool to allow local leaders to track returning members, not just friends of the church who are taking lessons from the missionaries. More information can be found here.
Church Security Resources
Our meetinghouses are sacred spaces where all should feel welcome and safe to connect with our Savior Jesus Christ and with each other. Following the recent tragic events in Michigan, as well as the changing security climate globally, we reiterate that people feeling welcome and safe in sacred spaces is a top priority. Members of the Saratoga Springs Stake are encouraged to regularly review the Church Security Resource Page available in the Help Center on the Church’s Official Website.
You are also encouraged to review the Security Training for Church Meetings and Events which can be found here.
