Updates About Online Sacraments, The Generosity Cycle, and Words of Encouragement

President Veazey begins by discussing online sacraments. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to reduce opportunities for the church to provide in-person pastoral-care ministries and to gather physically for fellowship, worship, and community formation. After extended consideration, the First Presidency is providing principles and guidelines for offering the sacraments through online means during the pandemic. These guidelines may be refined in the future as the church lives into its experiences with online ministries.

Next, he invites the church to participate in the Generosity Cycle.

For six weeks, the Generosity Cycle allows us to journey together through a season of generosity. During this season, focus is on the four phases of the Generosity Cycle: Invite, Discover, Respond and Reflect. This is a season where we are invited to remember God’s extravagant grace and generosity, to discover a deeper joy in discipleship living Christ’s mission, and to respond through whole-life stewardship by intentionally pausing and reflecting on our journey as generous disciples.
