I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me.

… When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!

Joseph Smith—History 1:16–17

Announcements

New institute class over Zoom for those preparing to serve missions and to receive the temple endowment

Over Zoom
Wednesdays ▪ 7.00am
Thursdays ▪ 8.30pm

A new regional institute class, “Traveling Christ’s Covenant Path: Advanced Mission and Temple Preparation”, is being held over Zoom for those preparing to serve missions and those young adults preparing to receive their endowment.

Participants can choose between two sections: Wednesdays at 7.00am or Thursdays at 8.30pm. High school seniors who are considering missionary service are encouraged to participate in the Thursday evening class. As an added incentive, those who do so will be able to use the institute classes they attend as make-up days for previous seminary absences.

Classes began Wednesday 15 January and Thursday 16 January.
