YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

Virtue of the Week: Example

Article of Faith: 10TH "We believe in the literal gathering of Israel, and in the restoration of the ten tribes, that Zion, the New Jerusalem will be built upon the American Continent. That Christ will reign personally upon the earth, and that the earth will be renewed and received it's paradisaical glory."

Scripture of the Week: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, which is in Heaven." Matthew 5:16

Quote #1: "Freedom and light have never been easy to attain or maintain. SInce the war in Heaven, the forces of evil have used every possible means to destroy agency and extinguish the light. The assault on moral principles and religious freedom has never been stronger. As Latter-Day Saints, we need to do our best to preserve light, and protect our families and communities!" ~Quentin L. Cook

Quote#2: "If we both live and proclaim these principles (of the Gospel) we will be following Jesus Christ, who is the true LIGHT OF THE WORLD. We can be a force for righteousness in preparing for the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!" ~Quentin L. Cook

SCHOOL DEVOTIONAL: The children were introduced to people and events where members of the Church have been a light in a dark world. They were reminded that the light in them can bring others to a knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that through their testimonies and good works, that they will be a light to others bringing them to the path that would lead them to happiness here on the earth, and to eternal happiness with our Savior and Father in Heaven! We talked about how light and darkness cannot coexist, and that the light is brightest when seen in the darkness, so that their examples of goodness are very obvious to the people who are around them in this dark world. They were encouraged to choose now to be on the Lord side and to share what they know in preparation of our Savior's 2nd coming!
