STEP RIGHT UP

The Greatest Show
in Dripping Springs

One night only. Several talents previously known
only to immediate family.

The talent show is a week away, which is plenty of time to practice and just enough time to reconsider the tap routine. First, stake conference is this weekend. Sunday starts at 10:00am, so give the shoes, the car keys, and the children a thirty-minute head start.

September 12–13, 2026 · All times Central

Stake conference

Sunday’s general session begins at 10:00am. Stake conference replaces our regular 10:30am ward meeting and second-hour classes this week.

The stake presidency invites us to prepare spiritually so conference can be a time of personal revelation and renewed strength. Bring a question you’ve been praying about, and listen for what the Lord may want you to hear.

The big night · Saturday, September 19

Ward Talent Show & Dinner

6:00pm · Stake Center

You have one week to take that talent from “something I do at home” to “something the ward now knows about.” Music, art, a hidden skill: all ages and all talents are welcome, onstage or at a display table.

Come share something, or come for dinner and applaud the people who do. An enthusiastic audience is a very respectable contribution.

Youth · Saturday, September 19

Stake Day of Service

Saturday, September 19 · 9:00am–12:00pm
All youth combined · Lady Bird Lake, Austin

Join the stake youth to clean up Lady Bird Lake in honor of the National Day of Service. Cleaning supplies will be provided, with treats afterward.

What to wear: Comfortable clothes, closed-toe shoes, a hat, and sunscreen.

Exact meeting location: To be provided closer to the activity. Watch for transportation details from youth leaders.

Ministering

Make room for one more.

Before conference, check whether someone could use a ride or help opening the broadcast. A specific “Want to ride with us?” is often easier to answer than “Let me know if you need anything.”

Come, Follow Me · September 14–20

“God Is My Salvation”

Isaiah 1–12

Isaiah speaks plainly about the need to repent, but his message is full of hope in Jesus Christ. Look for what these chapters teach about the Savior’s mercy, the peace He offers, and the work He is doing to gather His people.

Talk about it: Isaiah calls Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace. Where could we invite His peace into our family’s week?
