I had to give the Elders Quorum lesson last Sunday so I thought I would do something new and creative, so, I checked out a light box from the library and showed these two videos.

The first video is from Mormon Messages which talks about the 400 year anniversary of the Bible being translated into English. Then, I showed snippets from President Packer’s address at General Conference in April of 2011.

Below are the vids.

I think the Elders in the quorum liked the change in the lesson format. Who doesn’t like watching a little video here and there.

As I was reading some articles from the Back Bench of the Bloggernacle, I came across an interesting piece of information I thought I would share on this website. I discovered that the LDS Church has updated all of the New Testament Stories. You can find all of these videos at this website address. http://www.youtube.com/user/MormonMessages#g/c/299A568C7EF6A6CB. The video’s are not high quality action videos but I think they are good enough to keep kids interested in the stories of the Bible. In fact, this article talked about using one of these videos for their nursery lesson. What a great idea. Use your resources (as the scouts always say) and show a quick little video about a story from the New Testament. This is also a great resource for FHE (Family Home Evening). Below is the video that the article was talking about.

This summer out Stake took all of the youth on a Pioneer Trek. We loaded buses and traveled to Wyoming and visited Martin’s Cove. We hope that through this experience the youth will learn several things. They will learn that they can do hard things, they will have an appreciation for their ancestors, they will gain a stronger testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they will bond with other youth in the stake so they will be stronger against temptation, they will rub shoulders with other stake adult leaders and learn from them, etc. Below is a little video I put together of this trek.
