Duty to God
Sunday morning, I went over the “Duty to God” program with my two sons.
Duty to God
They have two years to complete each section of the program as they grow in the Aaronic Priesthood. Although the requirements in the DTG do not take the place of the Scouting Program, they do match up in many ways and add a level of depth spiritually that we like to teach to these young men. Some of the requirements include hiking a certain distance, giving a talk or teaching a lesson in church and teaching younger people a new game.
After reviewing all of the requirements with each of them, I am very pleased to see that they are over half way done. I was very worried about my oldest son because he had just turned 15 which means he only has a year left until he becomes a Priest. Once he is a Priest, he has a whole set of new requirements he needs to meet. After completing all three programs (6 years), he would earn a Duty to God Award.
Great job Coby and Andy for your continued work on the DTG (Duty to God) program.
On My Honor
I posted something a while ago on my personal blog about putting pictures, images, statements, quotes and things like that in our LDS Church rooms dedicated to the Aaronic Priesthood. I have not put anything in the “Aaronic Priesthood” room for quite a while so I put this together quickly on Monday in hopes that I can pin it up in the room this Sunday. I know it isn’t really about the priesthood, it is more geared towards the scouting program but the principles go hand in hand.
If you don’t already know, this is part of the Scout Oath which reads, “On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty, to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; to keep my self physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” I figured that I put in enough items to bring that oath into their minds.
