Scripture of the Month

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

'Tis the Season...

Mesa Temple
....for missionary work! There is no better time to share the gospel than during the Christmas season. People are more receptive because the Spirit is strong, everyone is kind and cheerful, and there is a lot of focus on Christ. Invite friends and family to:
  • walk the temple grounds, especially if it has a visitors' center, is decorated with lights and a nativity, or hosts mini concerts.
  • watch the First Presidency Christmas Devotional the first Sunday in December.
  • watch Joy to the World, the Church's short DVD on the Savior's birth.
  • watch any Christmas video by the Church.
  • read or reenact the story of Christ's birth.
  • go to a religious Christmas pageant.
  • participate in service.
  • attend your ward's Christmas party.
  • go caroling, singing Christmas hymns.
  • write letters or send care packages to missionaries.
  • join you for Family Home Evening.
  • come to church.
  • read the Book of Mormon.
Challenge: Invite friends or family to do one of the above activities. Share your testimony with them afterward.
