(Infographic) A Sacrificial People: How LDS Spend Their Time

While it’s true every member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gives of their time differently, what’s certain is that few Christians give of their time like us Mormons.

Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, taught in Lectures on Faith that “a religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things never has power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation.” Members of the Church today don’t sacrifice everything they have, but they do give up a lot.

Church meetings, callings, activities and service opportunities can (and do) eat up a lot of hours every week. But most Church members serve willingly — almost automatically — and are glad for the privilege.
