Lesson Review: Priesthood - "For the Salvation of the Human Family"
Key Doctrine:
The Holy Priesthood is the delegated authority of God to man.
"Through the work of priesthood holders, the glory and power of God is made manifest for the benefit of others."
Invitation to Action:
What can we all do to prepare ourselves to receive priesthood blessings?
Promised Blessings:
"The Priesthood has been restored: it has been bestowed upon man that through that medium, all who would like to be good and happy, might have the privilege."
September 22nd Lesson Topic:
"For Peace At Home" by Elder Richard G. Scott
FAMILY
Family Night:
The full-time missionaries are looking for teaching opportunities. Please consider inviting the missionaries into your home to teach your family. Brother Briggs, from the High Council, shared the following message:
A recently returning missionary made the distinction between doing "missionary work" and doing "the Lord's work". From their perspective, "missionary work" involved more finding, and the "Lord's work" involved more teaching. The Elders in our Stake are desirous to teach gospel principles to those investigating the Church, and to members as well, for the benefit of all. Please consider having the Elders in your home for a short visit to share a gospel message.
