Last Saturday -- time (and date) varies but usually in the morning; Temple Trip to the Oakland temple for all endowed members. Sometimes the temple trip will be held on a Friday evening to help with temple sealings or other ordinances. Those that are not endowed sometimes go to spend time in the temple Visitor's Center and/or take a temple grounds tour. We carpool from the Stake Ctr and always have a great time together.

Other -- other great monthly social and community service activities are planned each month. Non-member friends are welcome to participate. Call the Hotline (895-1978) for details and information on the most current events and activities.

OTHER:

Unity Conference -- held biannually either at Chico or outdoors such as in the Lassen National Forest. Usually the conference spans a 3-day period. These conferences provide an excellent opportunity to develop and strengthen testimonies and friendships while having a great time. Many activities, workshops, speakers, and experiences are planned.

Temple Baptism Trip -- held triannually at the Oakland Temple. We usually have over 30 members attend each time. We hold them once each semester and once during the summer. We carpool from the Stake Ctr. Everyone always looks forward to our temple baptism trip.

Pioneer Trek -- held every other year during the summer (usually even numbered years). This is a great opportunity to go back in time to the pioneer days and enjoy some of the challenges and experiences of the pioneers. We divide up into 8-10 family groups and each family is assigned a handcart. We push, pull, and tug the large handcarts through the forest guided by our Trail Boss for about 15 miles over a 3-day period. Some of the Trek activities include workshops, pioneer stories, fireside, "hoe down" dance, fixing blisters, and many surprises! At testimony meeting we are given a chance to share the feelings and experiences we had together. You don't want to miss Trek and testimony meeting. It is important to register early and pay your $15 fee to save you a place in a family group. Remember that Trek is the final frontier!! This activity is talked about for many years.
