    Light the World! "Special Edition"

    In this special edition of Finding Our Way: Stories of Faith and Resilience, we sit down with Jessica Larsen, the Stake Communications Director for the Midland Michigan Stake.

We discuss how the community is coming together through a month-long music festival—featuring everything from choirs to "Just Trombones"—and how you can support four incredible local non-profits. We also cover the beloved 29th Annual Nativity Exhibit and the various ways you can volunteer your time and talents this Christmas season. Featured Non-Profits: Reece’s Endeavor: Housing for disabled adults. Aaron’s Gifts from Home: Care packages for soldiers overseas.
