Announcing New Mid-week Activity

Study group focusing on the principles of the Constitution and Godly Government

Elder Boyd K. Packer in his talk entitled, "The Test"(October 2008) spoke of a celebration held the 24th of July 1849. The Saints planned to focus on "patriotism and loyalty to that same government which had rejected and failed to assist them. The Saints knew that the Lord had told them to be 'subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.' That commandment, revealed then, is true now of our members in every nation. We are to be law-abiding, worthy citizens." He then quoted Elder Phineas Richards, one of 24 men known as the Silver Greys--(a group of men aged 60 years or older who were a symbol of the priesthood in the parade)" . . . As we have inherited the spirit of liberty and the fire of patriotism from our fathers, so let them descend (unchanged) to our posterity.' "

We would like to invite all sisters to participate in this wonderful opportunity to learn and come to understand the principles of liberty that our country was founded upon that we may be "worthy citizens" and accept the challenge from Elder Richards to allow the "spirit of liberty and the fire of patriotism to descend (unchanged) to our posterity."
