Doing Good to All Men – Giving Service

When I was a deacon, and our ward had a service project, followed by a potluck dinner, I learned the power of giving service wholeheartedly. We were each given a certain portion of the task to complete before we ate dinner. There was about a half hour to complete the service portion and then we would join for the potluck dinner. When the time for eating came, almost everyone left work and raced to get in line.

Practical Courses with Spiritual Benefits

The Lord has said, “It is my purpose to provide for my saints . . . but it must needs be done in mine own way” (Doctrine and Covenants 104:15, 16). This is a promise that Heavenly Father will help take care of His children as they follow Him. Self-reliance does not mean that we can accomplish or obtain anything we want. If we are self-reliant we believe that through the power of Christ, and through our own effort, we can work for the spiritual and practical needs of life. Many people can become more self-reliant. With Self Reliance Groups much of the work takes place in small groups that combine spiritual principles with practical skills.

The next Self-Reliance Groups are scheduled to begin in September 2024. Groups will be organized based on individual interests.

9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance

Honor. Serve. Unite.

Twenty-three ago on September 11, 2001, many lost their lives to the 9/11 attacks. In the days and weeks following those attacks, Americans came together in a spirit of unity and service to others. In 2009 Congress established 9/11 as a recurring National Day of Service and Remembrance. On 9/11 and during that week, we honor those heroes by uniting in service and volunteerism throughout our communities. You can help unite and strengthen America by focusing on building a brighter future. Join together in a common cause to perform acts of service individually, in your family, in your neighborhood, community, state, or nation.

The Brigham City South Stake has agreed to help support a project at the New Hope Crisis Center.

Estate Planning Tips for Young and Growing Families

Strategies to Strengthen Your Family’s Future

As you nurture your growing family, your focus is often on the joys of building a life together and cherishing everyday moments. While it’s essential to savor the present, it’s equally important not to neglect estate planning, regardless of how distant it may seem. Establishing a comprehensive estate plan at any age can provide future security and greater peace of mind for your loved ones. This is particularly crucial for families with young children, as it includes legal provisions for guardianship. If you’re a young or growing family, the following estate planning tips for young families may help you protect your assets and strengthen your family’s future.
