Sacrament Service
First Speaker
A missionary that returned from a mission to San Diego a year ago.
Helaman 3
24 And it came to pass that in this same year there was exceedingly great prosperity in the church, insomuch that there were thousands who did join themselves unto the church and were baptized unto repentance.
Helaman 12:2
2 Yea, and we may see at the very time when he doth prosper his people, yea, in the increase of their fields, their flocks and their herds, and in gold, and in silver, and in all manner of precious things of every kind and art; sparing their lives, and delivering them out of the hands of their enemies; softening the hearts of their enemies that they should not declare wars against them; yea, and in fine, doing all things for the welfare and happiness of his people; yea, then is the time that they do harden their hearts, and do forget the Lord their God, and do trample under their feet the Holy One—yea, and this because of their ease, and their exceedingly great prosperity.
2 Nephi 5:11, 13
11 And the Lord was with us; and we did prosper exceedingly; for we did sow seed, and we did reap again in abundance. And we began to raise flocks, and herds, and animals of every kind.
13 And it came to pass that we began to prosper exceedingly, and to multiply in the land.
Next Speaker
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.
Hymn: Come, Come Ye Saints
What are useless cares? Facebook, Netflix, longer than necessary hours at work, sports. In excess, all things become useless cares.
“There is something about reviewing the lessons of the past to prepare us to face the challenges of the future. What a glorious legacy of faith, courage, and ingenuity those noble early Mormon pioneers have left for us to build upon. My admiration for them deepens the longer I live.” (Elder L. Tom Perry, “The Past Way of Facing the Future”, October 2009 General Conference)
“We must be sure that the legacy of faith received from them is never lost.” (Elder M. Russell Ballard, “Faith in Every Footstep”, October 1996 General Conference)

3 Nephi 26:21
21 And they who were baptized in the name of Jesus were called the church of Christ.
Dnc 20:37
37 And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of baptism—All those who humble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized, and come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits, and witness before the church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end, and truly manifest by their works that they have received of the Spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins, shall be received by baptism into his church.
Baptism brings membership and demonstrates discipleship.
“What is most important in our Church responsibilities is not the statistics that are reported or the meetings that are held but whether or not individual people—ministered to one at a time just as the Savior did—have been lifted and encouraged and ultimately changed.” (M. Russell Ballard, “O Be Wise,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2006, 20.)
