OTHER:
Unity Conferences -- held biannually either at Chico or outdoors at a campground.  The conference usually spans a 2-day period.  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.

Oakland Temple Baptisms -- held triannually.  We carpool from the Stake Center.  Everyone enjoys the baptism trips.

Pioneer Trek -- held every other year during the summer.  This is a great opportunity to go back to the pioneer days and enjoy pioneer challenges and experiences.  We divide into 8-10 family groups and each family is assigned a handcart.  We push and pull the large handcarts through the forest guided by our Trail Boss for about 20 miles over a 3-day period.  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, the final frontier!

Service Projects -- planned monthly.  Call the ward Hotline for details and information.

Social Activities -- planned monthly.  Call the ward Hotline for details and information.
