The Church of Jesus Christ

This weeks studies!!

Elder Michelson last week, the day before returning home and some insite into missionary work during the pandemic!

Elder Michelson had been out about 8 months when we made this video. I'll post a second video of him this past week the day before he actually returned home after serving for two years! It's interesting how the pandemic changed and enhanced missionary work as we once knew it!

This time we get to hear from the newly called, President Embry - 2nd Counselor in our Stake Presidency

At times we might feel alone.... a beautiful reminder that we are not!

Today at Brigham Young University I shared a message about important issues of our day, including overcoming racism. Personal attitudes and official practices o...f racism are not consistent with the revealed word of God. We know that God created all mortals, and we are all children of God. The challenge of racism is not a new one, but recent events have precipitated the current discussion. The shocking police-produced death of George Floyd in Minnesota last May was surely a trigger for nationwide protests in the United States, whose momentum was carried forward under the message of Black Lives Matter. Of course Black lives matter! That is an eternal truth all reasonable people should support. Dear friends, let us all heed President Russell M. Nelson’s call to repent, to change, and to improve. Only the gospel of Jesus Christ can unite and bring peace to people of all races and nationalities. We who believe in that gospelwhatever our originsmust unite in love of each other and of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

This week's studies...

This is a wonderful community outreach event. Hope you will all plan on attending!

Athens Georgia 3rd Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints participated in the Athens YMCA Trunk or Treat. This is a fundraising event that provides safe Trick or Treating for the Athens community. Bishop Rick Woolston and his wife, Regina, provided the decorations with the help of Elder Ricks and Elder Mortenson, two missionaries currently serving in the Athens area.

For all you amazing musicians in our area... deadline Nov 15th!

The Elberton Georgi a Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints participated in the Elberton County fair this past week. Elders Roach, Johnson, Guyman, Hanson and Heider hosted a booth that welcomed visitors to learn more about the gospel of Jesus Christ. They also provided information and handouts about JustServe.
