We only have one boy advancing into the priesthood this year. I was
worried he would be surrounded by adults staring at him and making the
night uncomfortable for all so I invited some of the Young Men that had
already advanced to join us. Now, to be clear..... I did not know
anything about Priesthood Preview. After research I found.
I asked one boy from each of the Young Men classes to come and speak.
Deacon
President was asked to speak on the responsibilities of a Deacon, one
Teacher to speak on the responsibilities of a Teacher and then one
Priest to speak on the responsibilities of a Priest.
We had out Bishop finish up with an overview of
Priesthood responsibilities. The theme of the night was around Neck
Tie's. I enjoyed our bishops comments that included a discussion on the
tie. There are many different sizes of neck ties. A child looks pretty
silly wearing an adult tie. We must grow into the larger tie's just as
the young men need to grow into the different levels of the Priesthood.
This evening was for that boy whom will advance into
the Young Men organization but I am a little embarrassed to say that I
learned so much that night..... You know the chairs we sit it.... they
don't magically set them self up? LOL- Okay I did know that, but my
point is that These Young Men sacrifice there time in many many areas to
help our church function. There are many times they are up early to
lets say.... set up chairs and are staying later to collect fast
offerings for our church. This church truly helps us raise our boys into
men... men that will serve and be a positive impact on our society. I
am so blessed to have been part of this amazing night and I thank all of
those that participated.
