Church Announces New #ShareTheGift Campaign and First Churchwide Newsletter
The Church announced two exciting events this week. First was the kick-off of a brand-new Christmas campaign under the hashtag #ShareTheGift. A special, shareable video was released as part of the campaign to emphasize the purpose of Christmas and God's gift of His Son.
In addition, members can look forward to a special First Presidency message--in their email inboxes. The apostles are really diving into technology with the start of occasional email newsletter updates.
