Just in case you were too busy to join us during the week, here’s a summary to get you all caught up on our doings here in LDS. We began the week with “The Sanctity of the Chapel,” a reminder that our chapels are not merely just another room in the church, but are holy rooms and should be treated with reverence.

Thank you for joining us as we take a look back at the past week. You’ll want to visit “Dinner Discussions” to see what your family members are studying at church, and you won’t want to miss the First Presidency Message or the Visiting Teaching Message, either, which will help you with your home teaching and visiting teaching assignments.

We started a new series on the … Continue reading →

We had a great week in LDS. What to see what we’ve been up to? We started out the week with “Thinking about My Dad.” Tristi’s parents divorced when she was a teenager, but through that divorce, Tristi gained a closer relationship with her father and can now see the positive in that situation. We kept up-to-date with our lessons with this week’s “Dinner Discussions,” and we were reminded of the amazing power of music to set the tone in our environment in “Music at Home.” We then discussed the effect lyrics have on us and our children in “Not-So-Lyrical … Continue reading →
