Married and single young adults and full-time missionaries are invited to join Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles for a worldwide Face to Face event on September 9, 2018.
The event, broadcast live from Nauvoo, Illinois, will be transmitted live on the Church satellite system, LDS.org, and other media at 6:00 p.m. mountain daylight time.
Elder Cook, joined by Church historians Kate Holbrook and Matt Grow, will speak and answer questions about the Restoration and Church history from the new narrative history of the Church called Saints: The Story of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Days.
According to an official letter announcing the event, “The goal of this event is to help young adults build their faith, increase their understanding of Church history, and strengthen their identity as sons and daughters of God in the context of the latter-day Restoration.”
