Children and Youth was first launched in January of 2020. Soon after, the pandemic forced changes and accommodations to Church programs around the world. A special broadcast on June 6 will provide parents and leaders with useful resources as they begin to reintegrate children and youth activities where appropriate.
President M. Russell Ballard, acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and General Officers will talk about opportunities to bless youth and children as areas come out of the pandemic.
“One of our highest priorities continues to be strengthening the rising generation’s faith in Jesus Christ, and helping children, youth and their families progress along the covenant path as they meet life’s challenges,” said Elder Michael T. Ringwood, a General Authority Seventy with assignments over youth and children programs. “As the world begins to slowly emerge from pandemic restrictions, we hope this broadcast will revitalize parents’ and leaders’ efforts to bless our young people as they begin to reengage in normal activities.”
Youth quorum and class presidencies and parents and leaders of youth and children are invited to participate in this presentation.
The broadcast and training segments will be useful resources for parents and leaders as they begin to reintegrate children and youth activities.
