Acting on these priorities to Bring Us to ChristBring a Friend ▪ Invite friends to sacrament meeting with us. ▪ Invite friends to our homes to learn of Christ. Share online Church messages with friends. ▪ Focus weekly ward council on how to help our new friends progress.

Become Spiritually and Temporally Self-Reliant ▪ Strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ by thoughtful Sabbath day observance, purposeful fasting, and

service to those in need. ▪ Improve habits of daily prayer, scripture study, and weekly family home evening. ▪ Be faithful with tithing and fast offerings. Seek appropriate education, employability, and career

development.

Find an Ancestor ▪ Complete “My Family” booklet. ▪ Use FamilySearch to identify ancestors who need temple ordinances. ▪ Take family names to the House of the Lord and help others to do so.

We invite all to come unto Christ.

As we apply these three priorities, our faith in the Saviour will increase and we will have a greater sense of peace, gratitude and joy.

As we thoughtfully worship on the Sabbath, attend the temple for ourselves and our ancestors, and serve one another, we can rightfully expect to see the Lord’s blessings in our lives and those of our loved ones.

We are very grateful to serve with you in this marvelous work.
