Shooting .22’s
On November 13th we will be shooting .22’s just North of Grantsville. We will be leaving from the church at 8:00 am and expect to be home around 12:00 pm. Fathers are welcome to join us, however they will need to bring their own ammunition to shoot as we have a very limited amount. We are encouraging anyone who has a BB, pellet or Airsoft gun to bring that also. We will need all the youth planning on attending to fill out a permission form. Please plan on bringing hearing protection and eye protection (safety glasses or sunglasses), and warm clothes.

There will be a 30 minute virtual meeting for EVERYONE (not just graduates) who attended seminary this year on YouTube.
Following the graduation broadcast, all of the graduates are invited to a drive-thru where we will take some time to congratulate them on this accomplishment. Please limit your family group to one car per family.
We’ve had
to cancel our Stake Youth Activity that was scheduled for this coming Thursday,
April 30. But we’d still like to hold a virtual activity with our youth.
Logistics make this difficult to hold at a certain date and time. Instead,
we’ve decided to invite our youth to participate in a COVID-19 Mask Competition
(see attached flyer). They can design and create masks that they, their family
members, and/or other people can use. If the youth create more masks than
they and their family can use, we will donate them locally. We will give prizes
to the youth for various categories, such as most creative mask, most
colorful mask, most professional mask, etc. For the
youth who creates the most masks to donate (see below), we
will have a special award. We will even have a best design award
for those youth who are not able to acquire the materials or means to actually
make the masks–they can design masks on an electronic device (iPad, phone) or
sketch it on paper and submit their design for award consideration.
As a stake,
we do not have the materials for the masks. However, for those youth who
legitimately want to create a good number of masks to donate, volunteer kits
and materials can be acquired through Project Protect and the Just Serve
Initiative. More information is available at: https://projectprotect.health/#/
Attached
are some basic instructions for 2 different types of masks. The youth can use
these patterns (or their own pattern/design) and material of their own to
create their masks. We hope that youth leaders and parents will help our youth
acquire material and tools to make this happen–there may be ward members who
have extra material and thread that they would donate. (If a ward needs to
purchase material to enable its youth to participate, please speak to me or
Sis. Watson before purchasing, as we may be able to assist with that purchase
via the stake youth budget.) If the youth do not have access to a sewing
machine, they may (1) sew the mask by hand, (2) work with parents/leaders to
see if someone in the ward could assist in sewing the mask, (3) create a
“no sew” mask (e.g., bandana/scarf style, cutting knit/t-shirt
material in the shape of a mask, etc.), or (4) participate in the “best
design” portion of the competition.
This
“activity” will run from now until Saturday, May 9. By the May 9
deadline, youth should submit their entries in the competition by taking a 1-2
photos of their mask(s) and either: (a) posting the photos to their Instagram
account (if public) and tagging @sunsetridgestakeyouth; (b) emailing the
photos to sunsetridgestakeyouth@gmail.com;
or (c) emailing/texting the photos to a member of the Stake Young Men’s or
Stake Young Women’s Presidency. We will announce the winners shortly thereafter
on our stake youth social media accounts.
On that
note, if you have not done so already, please
follow @sunsetridgestakeyouth on Instagram and follow the Sunset Ridge
Stake Youth page and group on Facebook. And encourage your youth and
their parents to do the same. We have started posting a lot more information on
those accounts and we want to make sure it is reaching everyone.
We look forward to this being a fun and rewarding activity for our youth! Please help us in that endeavor by getting the word out ASAP. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Due to the ongoing impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, it has become necessary to postpone For the Strength of Youth (FSY) conferences held in 2020 in the U.S. and Canada to now be held in 2021. Refunds will automatically be made to those who have registered.
Today is officially the first day that registration for FSY camps is open. There has been some confusion about this since it is the first time. I think we have gotten things worked out on our end.
1) Your child must be registered for an LDS account in order to register. This requires an email and your child’s membership number which can be found on LDS tools. If you have difficulty please reach out to a member of the bishopric for help. Each youth must be approved by the bishop, but I cannot approve them until they have a church account set up. Everyone that currently has an account should already be approved. If there is a problem, or once the account is set up please reach out to me to get them approved.
2) Your youth is able to go to FSY is they are turning 14 this year and older. They are not eligible if they are graduating high school or older in 2020.
3) Wards and stakes will NOT be signing up together for a particular week. Choose a week and location that works for you. With all of the changes this year in the youth program we have gotten behind on dates for multi-day youth camps for the young men. We will have those figured tonight.
4) The cost of FSY is $150.00. $75 will be required from you and the ward will cover the other $75. Because of this please make sure to cancel as soon as possible if you find out that you will not be able to make it the week that you sign up, so we can avoid this charge.
If you have any questions please reach out to me or one of my councilors.
Here is a link directing to a web address where you can begin the registration process:
CASUAL DRESS Wear your favorite Disney, Pixar, Marvel, or Star Wars attire. Disneybounding welcome. No weapons. Dress must comply with For the Strength of Youth guidelines. Shorts, skirts, & dresses must be at least to the knee. Shirts should cover midriff and shoulders. Clothing may not be lowcut in front or back.
