Key Doctrine:
"When people allow worldliness to pervade their minds and hearts, they turn their backs on eternal principles."
"We have got to love God more than we love the world, more than we love gold or silver, and love our neighbor as ourselves."
Invitation to Action:
How can we take care of our temporal needs without being overcome by worldliness?
How can our love for God help us avoid being overcome by worldliness?
Promised Blessings:
"...through his faithfulness he shall possess thrones, principalities and powers, his children becoming as numerous as the stars in the firmament or the sands on the sea shore. Who, I ask, has any greater prospect than this?"

FAMILY
The youth curriculum for November is: Temporal and Spiritual Self Reliance. There are some great ideas if you click on the link below, that will make for some great lessons and conversations with your children and youth!
"The outlines in this unit will help the youth understand the
importance of becoming spiritually and temporally self-reliant. Although
they are in their youth, these young people have been blessed with the
gift of agency, and they are learning how to set their own course and
find answers to their own problems in the gospel of Jesus Christ. The
more self-reliant they become, the more freedom they will enjoy. They
will be better prepared to serve the Lord, strengthen their families,
and fulfill their future roles as wives and mothers, husbands and fathers."
RELIEF
" 'Lucy Mack Smith's counsel to the first Relief Society sisters is more relevant today than ever before: "We must cherish one another, watch over one another, comfort one another and gain instruction, that we may all sit down in heaven together.' This is covenant keeping and visiting teaching at its finest!"
-Sister Burton, Relief Society General President
