- EQ lesson: Brother Bill Sellers taught us today, using H. Melvin Ballard's talk about service as the foundation. Key points of the lesson:
- “By small and simple things are great things brought to pass. …And by very small means the Lord … bringeth about the salvation of many souls” (Alma 37:6–7). [Acts of service need not be "big" ones].
- Serve @ home. Charity begins at home.
- Serve @ church. Kindness, encouragement, sensitivity, unity should be our touchstones.
- Serve in our community. Said Elder Ballard: "Through our heartfelt kindness and service, we can make friends with those whom we serve. From these friendships come better understanding of our devotion to the gospel and a desire to learn more about us."
- Quorum Challenge: Do a random act of kindness every day in the coming week. For some ideas and inspiration, check this site.
God Bless, Brethren!
