So just HOW does this new program work?

Video for PARENTS here:

As parents and leaders strive to help youth and children build faith in Jesus Christ and become more like Him, the Children and Youth program can be a valuable resource. 

​

Here are ideas about how to use the Children and Youth program to build faith in Christ. Parents and leaders can view the full broadcast or the segments that apply to their specific responsibilities. It can be used in families, ward and stake councils, stake youth leadership committees, ward youth councils, Aaronic Priesthood quorum and Young Women class presidency meetings, and other settings.

To the Rescue!

On December 4 2021 we answered to a call to serve, to bring badly needed firewood to a certain widow in our ward who had a tree that fell this year, and it got chopped it up, but it was green wood and wouldn't burn. She needed DRY wood. Winter was coming even already here, so we had this urgent project. It was the beginning of December...they asked if we could help. So we thought, yeah we can as a team, so we put together the team, got the youth involved who did most all of the hard back-breaking work because a lot of us old men don't have very good backs (or knees). 

We all worked as a team together. It was just great..l

To the Rescue!

On September 29 we got word that there was urgent need for strong-backed people to box the raisins down at the welfare farm in Madera, CA, a few rows that had not been completed for one reason or another, and the only people that were available from the Yosemite Ward during the day on a Wednesday were a few young men who just got out of school.  We go there just in time and this video shows how it was.  Thanks to these youth for their service!  These raisins go all over the world to help feed the poor.
