One of the first projects I shared on The Mormon Home was our ward Priesthood Preview–about two years ago! Those printables were overdue for an update and I really like the new look I’m sharing here t
On the first Sunday after Leyton turned twelve he was invited by the Young Men and Primary organizations in our ward to attend a "Priesthood Preview." This was basically a meeting for all boys and their parents that would be turning 12 in 2013. It gave the boys a chance to be welcomed into the Deacon Quarum and to hear from the leaders what the role of the Deacon would be. At this time Leyton can not receive the priesthood because he is not a baptized member of the church. This decision is being delayed as his mother Lucy is against The LDS church and is fighting for neither Leyton nor Brooke to be baptized. At this point, Bryan and I are doing all we can to include them at church and teach them as they spiritually progress. Becoming a member of The Church of Jesus Christ is going to have to be a decision that Leyton and Brooke both push for on their own with their mother. It may even have to wait until they turn 18 before they can make that decision. Time will only tell. The primary president, Jenni Evans, made this really special plaque that she gave to Leyton after he "graduated" from Primary!

I’m excited about this new meeting. I've created a sample teaching outline for Primary presidencies below, so if that's what you're mainly here for, scroll down. For those who are interested, though, here's how I'm thinking at this early stage about the deeper structure and future possibilities for this meeting. The pairing of priesthood power
My calling in my church (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) is in the Primary. I work with the kids from age 3-12. At the end of the year, we are asked to hold a special night for the boys who will be turning 12. It is called the Priesthood Preview. The boys listened to talks about the importance of the priesthood. We had a musical number and then had refreshments. I had seen ideas (and talked to people) about doing a "tie" theme. So, I found an idea on Little Birdie Secrets for a shirt and tie invitation. Then I got to work on the decor. I wanted to make a tie banner. I was debating on making it out of paper ties. But, when I got on Pinterest and did a little searching, I came across this tie wreath... and I had to make it! I asked friends for ties and got WAY more than I needed. To make the wreath, I simply cut a circle out of a cardboard box... I'm cheap. Then, I cut the tied and hot-glued them around the wreath (overlapping slightly). I tied one tie in a boy and glued it on. Then glued a string on the back to hang it. To make the banner, I used the left over tied and cut them in half. I cut the cut off tie back into a point and hot-glued the layers together. Then, I folded over the top half and sewed it so that I could easily slip the ties onto a ribbon. We thought it would be a great idea to just serve donuts and hot chocolate for refreshments. I wanted the Oath and Covenant of the priesthood displayed but couldn't find a poster. So, I wrote it on the chalk board! I also had some left-over Halloween candy that I put in glass jars... with a small child's tie around one of the jars. We have a great group of boys!!!
About this Image:Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. - Ephesians 6:11When a dear friend of mine left the Church, my heart was broken. It was as if he took off his armour piece by piece over time, leaving him exposed to the enemy. I wondered how this could have happened. When reading in Ephesians 6 one morning, I felt inspired to paint a depiction of the passage and create a message about the importance of wearing the Armour of God daily. This Armour isn’t the most fashionable, comfortable, or convenient to put on. God has asked us to put on His whole armour to be able to withstand in the evil day. His armour cannot be left in the closet- it must be put on daily to battle.About the Artist:JUDY COOLEY is a creator of joy. "My greatest joy and work is being a wife, mother, and grandmother. They are my inspiration." Like a true artist, Judy soaks up the beauties of life. Beyond doing art, she also skis, hikes, teaches yoga, and takes time to deeply study the scriptures. Her goal is to inspire others to find the light within themselves, and her testimony of Jesus Christ shines bright in the subjects she chooses to paint. Much of her artwork focuses on gospel living or, in other words, the true path to joy. About Altus Fine Art: As individuals, we are all drawn, as Paul said, to seek after that which is pure, lovely, of good report, or praiseworthy.

The authority of the priesthood makes all the difference in what someone is able to accomplish in the Lord's Church. It begins with the youth.
Just a short, simple post tonight. My current ward calling is 2nd Counselor in the Young Men's Presidency. This means that I get to spend a ...
I thought I would post some of the ideas and printable handouts we have used in the past for our Priesthood Preview. Really, it is the bishopric and Young Men who put the Priesthood Preview on. The Primary Presidency was their to support and help out a little :) The important thing is that the Primary Presidency, Young Men Presidency and Bishopric coordinate to decide how involved the Primary Presidency will be. When I was in, as a Primary Presidency we took care of printing the program, Printing invitations, providing a pianist and chorister, and making the refreshments. This is just an example. Here is what Handbook 2 says about Priesthood Preview: "11.5.5 Priesthood Preview A meeting called Priesthood Preview is held each year for 11-year-old boys and their parents. The purpose of this meeting is to help boys understand the priesthood and strengthen their commitment to prepare to receive it. Possible topics for the meeting include priesthood purposes, responsibilities, and blessings (for some ideas, see Faith in God for Boys, pages 12–13). A member of the bishopric conducts the Priesthood Preview, and at least one member of the Primary presidency attends. Other leaders, including members of the deacons quorum presidency and Young Men presidency, may also attend. If a ward has very few 11-year-old boys, the meeting may be held, under the direction of the stake presidency, with other wards or with the entire stake. According to local needs, it may be held on a Sunday evening, as part of a deacons quorum meeting on Sunday, or at another time." As for the program here is the layout that I would give the Young Men President. He would then decide on those who he would like to participate in the program. Priesthood Preview Date Presiding Bishop Conducting Bishop or counselor Pianist Provided by primary Chorister Provided by primary Opening Song We’ll Bring the World His Truth Opening Prayer By Invitation Role of a Deacon Deacon’s Quorum Pres Boy Scout Presentation Scout Master Power of Service YM from Deacon’s Quorum Living a Christ-like life YM 2nd Counselor Priesthood Preparation YM President Closing Remarks Bishop Closing Song Choose the Right Closing Prayer By Invitation Refreshments ** This is just an example. Coordinate with your Young Men Presidency and bishopric. Free Printable Priesthood Preview Invites: Priesthood Preview Program Cover:

By Alexis Tanner A couple years ago, back when cell phone batteries didn’t last longer than a day, my husband Alan and I were invited to his best friend’s wedding at the Draper temple. We stayed at my parent’s house so we could drop off our daughter, but we forgot our cell phone chargers so our phones had died the morning of the wedding, leaving us without a map to the temple. But we thought, we can see the temple, we can find it. However, that morning it was super cloudy and the temple was completely covered and we couldn’t see it. We tried our best to figure out the streets up to the Draper temple and even asked someone for directions, but we couldn’t find it and we missed the wedding. It was really disappointing. I share this story with you not so you remember your cell phone chargers when you travel, although that is important. But it also taught me that we can’t just hope to get to the temple, we have to prepare and we need to help our youth prepare. Recommend The first thing our youth need to get to the temple is a temple recommend. It’s important that we explain that a temple recommend is more than a piece of paper and it’s more than checking off a to-do list to be worthy to enter the temple. Having a temple recommend and being worthy to enter the temple blesses our lives every day. President Gordon B. Hinckley said, “It would please the Lord if every adult member [and I would add youth] would be worthy of—and carry—a current temple recommend. The things that we must do and not do to be worthy of a temple recommend are the very things that ensure we will be happy as individuals and as families.” Sometimes the youth may feel uneasy or worried that they aren’t worthy to enter the Lord’s house. I love what Elder Djarot Subiantoro said in his talk called “Always Having a Temple Recommend”, ”If we are striving to be true and faithful to the principles of the gospel, then we will always be temple worthy.” When we are trying our best and trying to live the commandments, then we can be sure that we are ready to enter the Lord’s house. I think it’s important to remember that God doesn’t ask for perfection, He just asks for you to try your best and want to follow Him. In the October 2020 General Conference, Elder Ronald A. Rasband shared a story about his father-in-law who was nearing the end of his life. He had asked the bishop to interview him to renew his temple recommend because he wanted to die being “recommended to the Lord.” I love this way of thinking about a temple recommend as a recommendation to the Lord. Having a current temple recommend is so important. Family history work One of my favorite things about going to the temple is the opportunity to do the work for our ancestors. My family has a lot of family history work to do. My mom is a convert and the only member in her family. And my dad’s side is pretty new to the church. So your family might be like mine and have more work than you’ll ever have time for. If you have the opportunity, help your youth take your family names to the temple. I have had some wonderful experiences at the temple when I have the name of my ancestors in my hands. But finding your ancestors can be really hard. Or you may be like my husband whose family work has pretty much all been done to the point of getting professional help. Or you may not know how to find your ancestors. There are still other ways the youth can connect families besides taking names to the temple. They can do indexing on familysearch.org, write their own personal history for their posterity, interview living relatives and get to know their stories, or learn about their ancestors as they explore their own family tree. Knowing our past helps our entire family. Studies have shown that people who know about their ancestors have higher self esteem and are better able to deal with the effects of stress. As we get to know our ancestors, we feel more connected to them and connected to the world around us. As I’ve done family history work, I have felt guided by some of my ancestors to find their records and records of their family. One of my favorite experiences was when I was looking at the records of my great grandmother’s sister Margaret. She had passed away as a young mother. She had a twin sister Catherine who married Margaret’s husband after she died, raised Margaret’s older children, and then went on to have children of her own. One afternoon, as I was doing family history work, I was looking at Margaret’s grave online. It was in Chicago which was near where I lived at the time. On the grave was listed a Baby Margaret, among a couple of other names, so I couldn’t tell who baby Margaret belonged to. After a lot of searching, I found the death certificate of a baby Margaret who died on the day she was born, the same day as her mother Margaret. When you find records of babies, there isn’t any temple work that needs to be done, but I was able to add her name to our family tree. Later that night as I was saying my prayers and thanking Heavenly Father for helping me find baby Margaret, I had a really special experience where I could feel the joy and happiness coming from Margaret and her daughter Baby Margaret. I didn’t even do any temple work for this situation, but getting to know a bit of their story and participating in finding their records was a special experience I will always treasure. Connecting with our ancestors outside of the temple also allows us to connect with them inside the temple and to better understand that families are eternal. Keep the Temple on Your Mind My third tip for preparing the youth for the temple is to help keep the temple on their minds. Something I like to do with my kids is to point to the temple whenever we see them. And in Utah that’s a lot. My kids can’t always remember the names of the temples so sometimes they’ll give them nicknames like the Provo temple was the “cupcake temple.” The Bountiful temple is called “the temple where mom and dad got married.” And to my younger kids, most of the other temples are the Salt Lake Temple. When we intentionally look for the temples around the valley and when we’re driving around, it keeps it on our mind. In our own home, we try to have pictures of the temple in each room. President Spencer W. Kimball said, “It seems to me it would be a fine thing if every set of parents would have in every bedroom in their house a picture of the temple so the [child] from the time he is an infant could look at the picture every day and it becomes a part of his life. When he reaches the age that he needs to make this very important decision, it will already have been made.” With the current COVID restrictions, getting an appointment to the temple can be hard. But when we look for the temple, have a temple picture in our room, and even spend time just on the grounds, we can begin to feel how sacred that place is and hopefully have a desire to be there as often as we can. In the last General Conference, President Nelson said, “If you don't yet love to attend the temple, go more often — not less.” As the world becomes a harder place to be in, the temple can be a place of strength and eternal perspective. Don’t let your youth get stuck unprepared like Alan and I were when we couldn’t see the temple and missed experiencing his friend’s wedding. Prepare your teenagers in whatever ways you can to make the temple a special place for them because it is a special place where we can better connect with our Heavenly Father, our Heavenly Mother, and our families.
