LDSES Event

“This Beautiful World: Preserving our Planet for Future Generations” November 2, 2024 in the Fulton Library at Utah Valley University The LDSES Fall Forum is an annual, in-person event that promotes and celebrates environmental stewardship and allows others a chance to meet with fellow earth-minded Latter-day Saints. The theme of this year’s event is “This Beautiful World: Preserving our Planet for Future Generations”. Get free tickets here Doors open at 5pm, program starts at 6pm. Please reserve your spot by getting a free ticket (unticketed guests will be admitted if there is room.) Information about parking and exact room locations will be sent out to ticketed guests prior to the event.  This year the Fall Forum will be in the Clarke Building, rooms 510-511, at Utah Valley University. Our keynote speaker is Larry Echo Hawk, Emeritus General Authority Seventy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and advocate for earth stewardship. Elder Echohawk has unique experience and background as a member of the Pawnee nation, the former Idaho state attorney general, and the former assistant secretary for Indian Affairs in the U.S. Department of the Interior. In conjunction with our program, we will also be hosting an art show, which includes a special children’s division. The theme of the Forum, “In This Beautiful World”, is derived from the LDS Primary song “My Heavenly Father Loves Me” which says, “I’m so glad that I live in this beautiful world Heavenly Father created for me.” Protecting the Earth for future generations is critical and as Elder Patrick Kearon recently said, “we will do better as we think of the future for our children and grandchildren. We will do what is best for us but also what will be best for them and their children.” We want to specifically showcase the creativity of children and what earth stewardship means to them as we look forward with faith.
