In last month’s LDS youth magazine the New Era there is an article about how Scouting and the Priesthood support each other. I decided to cut the magazine cover off and post it in the Aaronic Priesthood room at church. This is what it looks like.

There are a few articles in this Mormon magazine that are great for young men to read. One of the articles was about a young priesthood holder that was putting together an eagle project. The article was called “He’s Got Game”. He gathered together a bunch of youth and leaders and had them all bring a ball to an organized game of soccer. At the end of the game, he rounded up all of the balls that were donated and boxed them up to be shipped to needy kids in third world countries. I thought it was a great idea so I gave the article to my son to see if it would spark any excitement since he will be working on his Eagle Project soon.

The Mormon Church has created a way to send money to the relief efforts in Haiti. Donations can be sent to the LDS Philanthropies organization of the LDS Church. I hope that my readers will help spread the word to help increase donations for this worthy cause.

There have been some rumors circulating around the internet that the LDS Church will be adding a fourth purpose to it’s list of three purposes.  The fourth purpose was rumored to be “to care for the poor and needy”. Today I read a blog called “New Cool Thang” which links to an article in “The Salt Lake Tribune”
