Here are a few beautiful reminders from the scriptures and Church leaders about how we can come together as children of God.
1. We Can Strengthen Each Other’s Faith
“And the church did meet together oft, to fast and to pray, and to speak one with another concerning the welfare of their souls.”
2. We Can Nourish Family Relationships
“Family bonds are … strengthened by family stories, creating family traditions, and sharing sacred experiences.”
3. We Can Work Together
“I say unto you, be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine.”
4. We Can Include Others
“When you come to church, if you see someone alone, will you please say hello and sit with him or her?”
5. We Can Remember Our Divine Identity
“The universe is vast beyond comprehension, yet every soul carries infinite worth in the eyes of our Creator.”
