A Message to the Families

October 2, 2008

My fellow Saints, the month of September is a celebration of Family Unity week of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints. It is also an annual family celebration nationwide.
The Church of Jesus Christ is a family centered church and our greatest goal is to become an eternal family.
“The Prophet Joseph Smith desire was to build a community of spiritual Saints. This begins in the home. The most important instruction our children will ever receive should be coming from their parents in their own home. The parents must diligently teach their children the way our Father in Heaven would like them to grow.
The church leaders have instructed us to hold regular family home evenings where we can meet together weekly, learn gospel principles, and build family unity. Here we can give counsels together, read the scriptures, pray together, and play together. We can build a community of Saints one family at a time.”
(L. Tom Perry, “Building a Community of Saints,” Ensign, May 2001, 35)
We must work together, helping one with another in order to achieve this greatest goal, to be part of the eternal family. It really needs some missionary efforts so we can invite all people to come unto Christ and partake the blessings of exaltation.
We are really blessed to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives which serves as our guide so we won’t be lost our way as we live and travel in this ever changing world.
May all of us will continue to enjoy while serving Him to the end.
