Sacrament Service
First Speaker
A young sister announced that she has been called to the Texas San Antonio Mission, Spanish speaking.
“The singing of hymns is one of the best ways to learn the doctrine of the restored gospel.” (Elder Dallin H. Oaks, “Worship Through Music,” October 1994 General Conference)
“Music has a sweet power to promote unity and love in the family. Not only is it an important component of family home evenings, but it can also exert a continuing influence for good well beyond times when children are small.” (Elder Russell M. Nelson, Church Educational System fireside, 4 May 2008)
DnC 25:12
12 For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads.
“Is it enough alone to know
“That we must follow him below,
“While trav’ling thru this vale of tears?
“No, this extends to holier spheres.”
Next Speaker
How important is music in the Church?
“Latter-day revelation also confirms the spiritual value of good music. The Lord has said, “My soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads” (D&C 25:12).” (“Music”, Bible Dictionary)
If you are not going to sing, at least follow along with the words.
Next Speaker
