desire to share the gospel takes all of us to our knees, and it should, because
we need the Lord's help."

How can I participate effectively in councils in the Church?
The Lord’s Church is governed through councils. Under the
direction of priesthood leadership, leaders counsel together for the benefit of
individuals, families, and the Church. Effective councils invite full
expression from all council members, who seek to be united and guided by the
Holy Ghost to build the kingdom of God. Learning how revelation is received in
councils can help us participate effectively in council meetings, including
presidency meetings, bishopric youth committee meetings, and family councils.
We will invite the
youth to share their experiences participating in council settings in the
Church, such as class and quorum presidencies or bishopric youth committee
meetings. What did they do to prepare for the meeting? What did they do to
participate? How did the council help accomplish the Lord’s work? We will show
the video “Participate in Councils.” and will invite the youth to look for key
elements of a successful council. Finally we will role-playing participating in a council by
assigning each class member a role to play, and ask them to choose a topic that
they could counsel together about, such as how to help the members of the ward
understand the importance of reverence or modesty.

Lesson 21: “Looking Forth for the Great Day of the Lord to
Come”
The Doctrine and
Covenants provides a wealth of information about the Second Coming,
the events that will precede it, and the thousand years of peace that will
begin when the Savior comes again.
Read D&C
29:9–11; 34:7–12; 45:44–54; 49:6–7; 133:46–53.
What do these passages teach about the Savior’s Second Coming?
The Savior’s Second Coming will usher in the thousand-year
period called the Millennium. What will life on earth be like during the
Millennium? (See D&C
45:58–59; 101:23–34.)
How can this knowledge about the Millennium be a blessing in your life now?
What can you do in your life now to prepare for the Second
