THE DIGITAL CHURCHTOOLS, TREASURES, WHAT’S NEW, AND YOU
TECHNOLOGY
SPIRITUAL COMMUNICATION“Lessons taught in the home by goodly parents are becoming increasingly important in today’s world, where the influence of the adversary is so widespread… Parents must resolve that teaching in the home is a most sacred and important responsibility. While other institutions such as church and school can assist parents to “train up a child in the way he [or she] should go” (Proverbs 22:6), this responsibility ultimately rests on the parents.”
Elder L. Tom PerryEnsign, November 2012

HASTENING THE WORK OF SALVATION
“Members of the Church of Jesus Christ are sent forth “to labor in his vineyard for the salvation of the souls of men” (D&C 138:56). This work of salvation includes member missionary work, convert retention, activation of less-active members, temple and family history work, and teaching the gospel. The bishopric directs this work in the ward, assisted by other members of the ward council.
