Press Forward With a Steadfastness in Christ

This summer the youth of the Vermont and Concord New Hampshire stakes will take part in a Pioneer Trek for our 2016 Combined Stake Youth Conference. Our theme is “Press Forward With a Steadfastness in Christ”. By participating, you will have the opportunity to:

• Have fun,
• Experience some of the excitement and challenges faced by the early pioneers,
• Build your personal faith and testimony,
• Attend special events,
• Create close friendships within our two stakes, and
• Recognize how you are truly pioneers today.

The purpose of this website is to aid each of us in our preparations for the trek this summer. Members of both the Montpelier Vermont and Concord New Hampshire Stakes can follow along, be kept up-to-date and receive information regarding the 2016 Combined Stake Youth Conference.

“It is good to look to the past to gain appreciation for the present and perspective for the future. It is good to look upon the virtues of those who have gone before, to gain strength for whatever lies ahead. It is good to reflect upon the work of those who labored so hard and gained so little in this world, but out of whose dreams and early plans, so well nurtured, has come a great harvest of which we are the beneficiaries. Their tremendous example can become a compelling motivation for us all, for each of us is a pioneer in his own life, often in his own family, and many of us pioneer daily in trying to establish a gospel foothold in distant parts of the world.” – Gordon B. Hinckley
