When My Daughter Passed the Sacrament to Me

The weekly sacrament ritual is the focal point in LDS sabbath worship. In it we renew our baptismal covenants with Christ. These covenants include promises to God, to ourselves, and to others. The ritual also has layers of meaning in how it is prepared, blessed, and passed by the Aaronic priesthood holders in the ward.

Harmony historic site to be memorialized as plans take shape

While Church members generally commemorate each May the restoration of the priesthood, the precise location where John the Baptist appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in 1829 and conferred upon them the Aaronic Priesthood has remained somewhat nebulous — that is, until recently. Researchers and historians have come closer to pinpointing the spot, to the point where the First Presidency has approved a concept for a Church historic site at the location near the Susquehanna River in what was once Harmony, a small township in Pennsylvania adjacent to its northeastern border with New York.
