As any of you who heard any of several talks at the most recent General Conference know, there is a new Duty to God program for the Young Men and Scouts in our ward.
This program is incredible! It focuses much more on helping the young man become what he needs to become. It is not simply a checklist of requirements to be completed, it is an opportunity to grow and progress as a worthy priesthood holder. The program focuses on helping the young man first Learn his duty (D&C 107:99), then Plan and Act on what he has learned, and finally Share with others how he has grown and changed from the experience.
The program booklet and other helps are also now all available online.
In addition, in order to help us as parents and leaders, the Bishopric, in conjunction with the presidents of the Aaronic Priesthood quorums, is holding a special meeting about the new Duty to God program. This meeting will be on Sunday, August 1st at 11:00am at the church. (This will be during the third hour of church meetings.) We want everyone to be there! President Lunt, in speaking about this meeting, said that every parent who has a boy under the age of 18 (even if they are only a 1-year-old) should be included.
Please come out and learn about this wonderful new opportunity to help our young men. In teaching about this new program, President Lunt testified, “I testify that if we do that, we will be doing a much better job at saving our boys and our girls and we'll be doing what the Lord expects of us.”
Thanks, and we'll see you there!
