August Presidency Message

What more can we learn about service? We know that it's healing to our troubled souls, that we should do it and are commanded to do it and that even though it comes with a sacrifice of some sort it is always rewarding.

For a deeper look I went to the Book of Mormon index and looked up "serve". More rewards await those who serve than I have ever really thought about! As you read the following scriptures and ponder them, may the Spirit touch your heart and open your eyes to the beautiful blessings that await you as you serve one another! (This includes visiting teaching! For the program is the Lord's, and it is an opportunity He gives us to help Him with His work!)

2 Nephi 1:7, Mosiah 2:12, Mosiah 2:17-18, Mosiah 2:21, Mosiah 5:13, Mosiah 7:33, 3 Nephi 13:24, Mormon 9:28, Ether 2:8, Moroni 7:13

Christ lives and service is His work and glory! May we incorporate it more fully in our lives! We love each one of you.

Fast Sunday Lesson-Service

There is so much to write on Service and so many participated in the class. We looked up the scriptures from the Book of Mormon. You could read all of Mosiah Chapter 2 on service.

How well do you know your Heavenly Father if you do not serve. You do not realize the true love of our Heavenly Father without Service.

Mosiah 7:33 If you serve the Lord, it will help you with your other struggles. As you will have a focus on Heavenly Father. Things that control your thoughts and/or worries that you have will be redirected. As you can only serve one. Service occupies us in a good way.

Mormon 9:38 Full Heart + Work + Service = Strength

Elder Richard L. Evans once counseled, "We can't do everything for everyone everywhere, but we can do something for someone somewhere."
