Happy Easter to you and yours! As we celebrate Christ’s Atonement and Resurrection, may you feel His love for you now and wherever you find yourself along your earthly journey. And may you feel the love He has for all those who cross your path, so much so that you find your steps gentler and your burden lighter.

REPOST from Dallin H. Oaks“The literal resurrection of Jesus is, of course, the subject of so many scriptures that it is settled doctrine for believers of the Bible and Book of Mormon. For us, the universal resurrection is equally certain.

“I wonder if we fully appreciate the enormous significance of our belief in a literal, universal resurrection. The conviction that death is not the conclusion of our identity changes the whole perspective of our mortal life.

“It affects how we look on the physical challenges of mortality. It gives us the strength and perspective to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us and by those we love.

“It signifies that mortal deficiencies are only temporary! It also gives us the courage to face our own death or that of loved ones-even deaths we might call premature.

“Our belief in the resurrection also encourages us to fulfill our family responsibilities in mortality. It helps us live together in love in this life in anticipation of joyful reunions and associations in the next.”

¡Felices Pascuas para ti y los tuyos! Al celebrar la Expiación y la Resurrección de Cristo, que puedas sentir Su amor por ti ahora y dondequiera que te encuentres a lo largo de tu jornada terrenal. Y que puedas sentir el amor que Él tiene por todos aquellos que se cruzan en tu camino, de tal modo que percibas tus pasos más suaves y tu carga más ligera.

REPUBLICACIÓN de dallinhoaks: “La resurrección literal de Jesús es, por supuesto, el tema de tantas escrituras que constituye una doctrina establecida para los creyentes de la Biblia y del Libro de Mormón. Para nosotros, la resurrección universal es igualmente cierta.

“Me pregunto si apreciamos plenamente el enorme significado de nuestra creencia en una resurrección literal y universal. La convicción de que la muerte no es el fin de nuestra identidad cambia toda la perspectiva de nuestra vida mortal.

“Influye en la manera en que consideramos los desafíos físicos de la mortalidad. Nos brinda la fortaleza y la perspectiva para soportar los desafíos mortales que afrontamos cada uno de nosotros y aquellos a quienes amamos.

“¡Significa que las deficiencias mortales son solo temporales! También nos da el valor para afrontar nuestra propia muerte o la de nuestros seres queridos, incluso aquellas muertes que podríamos calificar de prematuras.

“Nuestra creencia en la resurrección también nos alienta a cumplir con nuestras responsabilidades familiares en la mortalidad. Nos ayuda a convivir con amor en esta vida, anticipando gozosos reencuentros y relaciones en la venidera”.

We are thrilled to announce that tickets are now available for Rob Gardner’s “Lamb of God” in both Tampa and Orlando!

This powerful and moving production tells the story of the final days of the Savior’s life from the perspective of those who knew and walked with him through music that is both intimate and sweeping. Each year, this performance brings together a full volunteer choir and orchestra to create an evening of worship, reflection, and hope that stays with audiences long after the final note. We are also happy to announce that ASL interpreters will also be performing in all our Sunday evening shows!

Because this production has grown in scope and quality, so have the associated costs—venue rentals, sound and lighting equipment, costumes, printed materials, and rehearsal resources. In order to continue offering this experience at a high level while keeping it accessible, tickets are offered with a suggested donation of $5 per seat.

If you feel inclined to contribute at that level or above, we are sincerely grateful. If not, please know you are still warmly welcome. Our desire is simply for all who wish to attend to be able to do so.

We encourage you to reserve your seats soon, as space is limited and performances often fill quickly!

Recently, the Brandon Florida Stake made a food donation to the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry at St. Stephen Catholic Church in Riverview.

Denise Essex, the Conference President at St. Vincent de Paul’s helped organize the donation that will benefit the patrons of the food bank.

Essex stated, “The current economic situation is having the biggest impact now. With high living cost, uneven wage growth and certain government funding being cut, the impact on people living paycheck to paycheck are hurting the most. We are all seeing the prices increase in housing and utilities our neighbors are having to make tough choices of either buying groceries or paying bills. Our pantry helps to relieve that stress, providing enough food per family size, for weeks.

“Currently we are serving between 70-80 families a week with recent numbers being in the high 80s (and sometimes have reached over 100). In the month of November our household numbers increased 32% over last year this time.

“What has been wonderful about the partnership with LDS is not only the continued support, but also how it demonstrates what happens when neighbors become friends and work together to help other neighbors. This generosity allows us to reach out and support so many of our neighbors who are facing hardship, strengthening our community and reminding us that when we care for one another, everyone benefits.”

Members of the Brandon Florida Stake look forward to continuing to serve alongside Ms. Essex and her team as we continue to serve our community in 2026.

Recientemente, la Estaca Brandon de Florida realizó una donación de alimentos a la despensa de alimentos de San Vicente de Paúl en la Iglesia Católica San Esteban en Riverview.

Denise Essex, presidenta de la Conferencia de San Vicente de Paúl, ayudó a organizar la donación que beneficiará a los usuarios del banco de alimentos.

Essex declaró: “La situación económica actual está teniendo un gran impacto. Con el alto costo de vida, el crecimiento salarial desigual y los recortes en ciertos programas de financiación gubernamental, las personas que viven al día son las que más sufren. Todos estamos viendo cómo aumentan los precios de la vivienda y los servicios públicos, y nuestros vecinos se ven obligados a tomar decisiones difíciles, como elegir entre comprar alimentos o pagar las facturas. Nuestra despensa ayuda a aliviar esta presión, proporcionando suficiente comida para cada familia, según su tamaño, durante varias semanas”.

Actualmente atendemos entre 70 y 80 familias por semana, y recientemente hemos llegado a atender a más de 80 (e incluso a más de 100 en algunas ocasiones). En el mes de noviembre, el número de familias atendidas aumentó un 32% en comparación con el mismo período del año pasado.

Lo maravilloso de la colaboración con la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días no es solo el apoyo continuo, sino también cómo demuestra lo que sucede cuando los vecinos se convierten en amigos y trabajan juntos para ayudar a otros vecinos. Esta generosidad nos permite brindar apoyo a muchos de nuestros vecinos que atraviesan dificultades, fortaleciendo nuestra comunidad y recordándonos que cuando nos cuidamos unos a otros, todos salimos beneficiados.

Los miembros de la Estaca Brandon de Florida esperan seguir sirviendo junto a la Sra. Essex y su equipo para continuar sirviendo a nuestra comunidad en 2026.
