Hello!
I am writing to let you all know that there have been some updates to the Stake website.
Becoming Zion
https://www.churchofjesuschristalbanyny.org/becoming-zion
Last fall, our Stake Presidency announced that they had received revelation for us to prepare now and become qualified to build one of the Lord’s holy houses in the Albany area. In response to that news, a few new web pages have been added to help inspire us and help us better communicate with each other on our experiences as we move forward together in Becoming Zion. The first page, titled Becoming Zion, contains a brief overview with several photos. Each photo is a link to the different aspects of the invitations we received to qualify for a temple. Those links are additional new pages. There is a place now for you to share your experiences in this invitation. Whether it be during the evening prayer or at the temple, we want to hear from you! There is also now a place for temple visitors to report on initiatories completed.
99Plus1

Part of Becoming Zion is demonstrating charity to each other and within our communities. We have also been asked by President Nelson, who will soon be turning 100, to “... consider prayerfully: who do you know who may be discouraged? Who might you need to reconcile with or ask for forgiveness? Has one name been on your mind lately, though you haven’t quite known why? As you bring these questions to the Lord, He will inspire you to know how you can reach out and lift one who needs help." ~ Russell M. Nelson. In response to this invitation a new web page titled “99plus1” has been created. We want to support and inspire you in this endeavor as well. Please check it out, we look forward to hearing from you online!
Yours in Christ,
Barbara Maughan
