Ward Update July 18

Leadership Message

This week I’ve been thinking a lot about who we are as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The thought that keeps coming back to me is President Hinckleys April 2005 talk “The Symbol of Our Faith”. In it, President Hinckley clearly laid out that we, the members, are the symbol of our faith and our worship. We are the symbols of the Living Christ, and that comes with certain blessings and responsibilities. “As His followers, we cannot do a mean or shoddy or ungracious thing without tarnishing His image. Nor can we do a good and gracious and generous act without burnishing more brightly the symbol of Him whose name we have taken upon ourselves. And so our lives must become a meaningful expression, the symbol of our declaration of our testimony of the Living Christ, the Eternal Son of the Living God.”

May we all remember as we talk with our families, post on social media, and associate with our neighbors, that our lives and actions are a reflection of our faith and testimony in Jesus Christ. If we will do that, I promise that our interactions will be guided and we as a ward and as a community will feel and witness a greater outpouring of love and blessings. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
