November 2025 Stake Conference Celebrating 50 years

To the Vernon BC Stake

Re: Stake Conference on Saturday November 8 & Sunday November 9, 2025

Dear members of the Vernon BC Stake,

Twice each year, as directed by the President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, we gather for Stake Conference. This is a treasured opportunity to meet together and be “nurtured by the good word of God”. On this 50th Anniversary of the Vernon Stake, we extend a special invitation to attend our Sunday session in person at the Stake Centre (on Nov 9 11am-1pm) to share faith, music, and prayer – and then stay after the session to share pie and ice-cream. 

The Stake Conference will take place at the Vernon Stake Centre. Members are invited to participate in each meeting at either the stake centre or at home through streaming media via Zoom or YouTube. Links for streaming at home will be available on the days of the conference at https://vernonstake.org. 

Sessions will include:

Stake Leadership Training from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Saturday, November 8

for Stake Council, Bishoprics/Branch Presidencies with secretaries and clerks, 

Stake and Ward Organization Presidencies with their secretaries, 

ward mission leaders, and temple and family history leaders. 

Saturday Evening Adult Session from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm on Saturday, November 8

for everyone 18 years of age and older.

Sunday General Session from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Sunday, November 9

 for everyone. NOTE: This is 1 hour later than our usual time.

Apple Pie and Ice Cream will be served after the general session on Sunday for those

attending at the Stake Centre - to celebrate our rich 50 years history of fund-raising and sharing in the Okanagan

Please consider inviting others and assisting them to attend these sessions of conference. We look forward to meeting with you and sharing this time together.

Sincerely,

The Stake Presidency

Shayne Olsen, Paul England, and Brett Poulin
