Monday Morning
Priesthood meeting
It is our job as the ministry to warn the people about the coming of Christ. It is our responsibility to take care of the membership. We need to be doing the Lords business. We have to make sure people see us doing the work for the Lord as an example for them to follow. We need to tell people the truth, not what they want to hear. We have to tell them truth in such a way that we do not push them away.

Word Study
Honest of heart. We must change when we come to God. If we stay on the gospel we will not fall away. We must follow the full gospel and just small parts.

Monday Afternoon
Edward Coffey
We must build upon the solid foundation of Christ. God was there in the beginning and he is going to be there in the end. Only the truth of Christ will help us. We have to follow it and nothing else. We have to take the whole word, not just parts of it. Christ does not change and his word does not change. There are going be those that stumble, but we must stay with God. If we stay humble and full of Love we will make it through.

Phil Meihls
We must be ready for Christ for his spirit to touch us. We must be humble and be looking for him; if we are not looking for him we won’t find him. Once we find Christ we have to stay on the written word of God. The word can be blunt and harsh, but it speaks the truth. Our journey is long and hard at times, but God will always be there if we stay with him.

Darren Bellamy
Forgiveness is an important part of our lives. As part of our walk with Christ we must forgive others like Christ forgives us. Forgiveness is the key to our mental health. Without forgiveness we cannot move on and grow. After forgiveness comes compassion and love. Everyone makes mistakes. It does not mean that we bad people, it just means that we need keep our eye on God and allow him to lead us. When we do makes mistakes it is nice to know that he will forgive us. The only way for us to have peace is through the Lord. Only he can give us the strength to keep us going.
Sunday Evening
Larry Gosier
We have to be clean before we can work for the Lord. The words of God are true. This includes the Bible, Record of the Nephites, and the Word of the Lord. We must be obedient to the word of God. If we are not obedient then we are not with God. If we walk away we must repent of our sins and come back to the Lord just like the beginning, through baptism. You need to choose this day who you are going to serve for there might not be a tomorrow. By being obedient the work of God moves forward. You must follow Christ and not a person. It is your responsibility to make sure what it taught matches the word of God. If we keep his “sayings” his love will be perfected in us. In the end there will only be two churches, The Church of Christ and the Church of the Devil.
