Dear members of the New Canoga Park Stake,
In case you have missed some of our previous Canoga Park Stake email messages and are wondering why you are receiving them, here’s why: there was a stake boundary reconfiguration earlier in the year and some wards that were previously in the Granada Hills stake are now in the Canoga Park Stake. This change transpired just a couple of weeks prior to the time the pandemic hit California. Even though we have not yet met in person as a full stake, we feel a new energy in the stake. We feel the strength, faith, and love of this entire “new” stake. We hope you feel it too. Each week since the safer at home order began, the stake has provided a video message to help stay in contact with the stake, and to provide a way for us all to get better acquainted with members of the stake. We hope these messages help to make your Sunday and the following week special.
Brother Mark Deakins from the Northridge 1st ward is the speaker for our stake message today. (Yes, they recently moved and this is the same Deakins family that previously lived in the Encino ward)

This weekend should have been our first stake Pioneer Day for the newly configured stake. Due to the pandemic this year we’ll just need to plan to have a celebration twice as big next year! In the meantime, you might enjoy music and messages from The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. Recordings from the 2019 and 2018 Pioneer Day concerts can be found at https://www.thetabernaclechoir.org/articles/enjoy-choirs-past-summer-concerts-now.html
With fondest wishes for your health, safety, and peace,
The New Canoga Park Stake Presidency
