Cub Scout Day Camp!

As anybody who has ever worked in Boy Scouts knows, Cub Scout Day Camp is a lot of fun, and a lot of work! Thankfully, we are blessed with dedicated, creative, and hard working leaders who committed themselves to providing our boys with a wonderful cub scout experience. Thank you to all of those who helped out!!!

Here are a few pictures from the week. If you have any more you would like to share, please e-mail them to HighlandsRanchMormons@gmail.com

 One day the leaders faced a huge dilemma: A thunderstorm. Being the resilient and flexible leaders that they are, however, they moved day camp indoors and continued as planned!

Come Support The Stake!

We need You!

We are looking for Stake participation in our community Highlands Ranch Fourth of July parade and booth at the Town Center celebration.  Our theme this year is "Family, Isn't It About, Time?"  Sign up to walk in the parade or just show up by 8:30 am in patriotic attire at the family camping themed float on Highlands Ranch Parkway just east of Lucent.

Volunteer to man our booth at Town Center in front of The Old Blinking Light where we will have a family fishing game with prizes to give out and pass along cards.   Don't forget to invite friends and family to line the streets and cheer us on and visit our booth for some freebies. This is a great missionary opportunity for the whole family. Help us make this year's missionary opportunity even more successful!

If you are able/willing to help out please sign up HERE.

Missionary Monday: Elder Layne Serving In Lubbock, TX

Here is a recent letter from Elder Layne:

Hello friends and family,

This was an amazing week for us. We had an appointment with a good man named Travis. He is 50 years old, trying to get his Master's here on the Sul Ross campus in Alpine, TX, and he is so into our discussions and learning, but is a struggle to catch home. He studies all day, works all night, and it's rare that we get to see him. Somehow we caught him and he decided to set an appointment on his day off for 8 at night. We showed up to his dorm and called him about 6 times to no avail. Either he was asleep or his phone was, couldn't tell. We waited and waited and nothing seemed to help. We were thrilled at the idea of teaching him the plan of salvation and inviting him to church. He had previously told us he had never felt the Spirit in a church and didn't think he would in ours, either. He's more of a spiritual fisher than a spiritual church goer. We had a great, inspired lesson planned for him but now our hope was fading with no access to the dorms since we have no student key. Well, I looked at my companion and said, "Elder, let's pray. God will open something up for us." We humbly bowed our heads under the fading light sky, in the middle of a college campus. At "amen" my companion looked up and said, "let's try around back." We walked up to the back door which was securely locked as all the rest. Disappointed, we were about to walk away when my companion said. Wait one second. He reached for the door and upon touching the handle, the technological system clicked and shifted and the door popped open. In amazement we rushed forward, found Travis' room, woke him up, taught him, invited him to church and praised God in the heavens for opening this door. Last week he came to church and said "if the Lord's church really is on the earth, it would be yall's. I've never felt anything like that. Is it alright if I come back?" 

My dear friends and family, the lesson has been learned.

GOD OPENS DOORS. 

May He open yours to whatever you may need. Let us all begin with a prayer. 

Love,
Elder Layne 

 

 

Elder Layne is serving from the Roxborough Ward.
