MEETING SCHEDULE

July 7th - Sunday School
Brothers and Sisters,
As we look forward to our 5th Sunday Lesson on June 30th, I would invite each of you to prepare yourself for the discussion by studying Doctrine and Covenants Section 109 over the next 10 days (if you have not already been studying it). President Russell M. Nelson has encouraged us to study the Kirtland dedicatory prayer recorded in that section. We hope to discuss some of the following questions:
1. What have you learned by studying D&C 109?
2. President Nelson has stated that this dedicatory prayer “is a tutorial about how the temple spiritually empowers you and me to meet the challenges you and me to meet the challenges of life in these last days”. How does this prayer empower us?
3. What promises and blessings outlined in D&C 109 have you seen as you have attended the temple? Some suggested questions to consider:
- What does it mean to “receive a fulness of the Holy Ghost” (D&C 109:15)?
- How have you felt the power of God and angels having “charge over [you]” (D&C 109:22)?
- Have you felt the promise that “no combination of wickedness” will prevail over those who worship in the house of the Lord (D&C 109:24-26)? How?
Although this dedicatory prayer is specific to the Kirtland Temple, President Nelson has promised that it applies to all temples. As you consider D&C 109, I would also encourage you to study the words of the dedicatory prayer for the Taylorsville Temple.
I look forward to having a good discussion about what we have learned.
With Love, Bishop Cox
WARD MISSION MESSAGE
I'm quoting from a talk given in 2005 by Elder Robert J. Whetten: "Brothers and sisters, if the conversion and transformation process is to continue in each of us, new members and old alike, we must love, serve, and give spiritual nourishment to others. We must help others receive the full blessings of the restoration, including the blessings of the temple." May we resolve to seek those who need help and lift them in the spirit of love into the embrace of the church that all may be blessed. (Brother Peck)
ELDERS QUORUM
"With our trust and faith in God, trials and afflictions can be consecrated for our good."
