The Living Christ Challenge

Dear Sisters,

Yesterday in our Women's Conference, the Young Women of the 3rd Ward performed "The Living Christ" set to music.  Because of the power of this music, as a Stake Relief Society Presidency, we are putting forth the challenge for all sisters to learn "The Living Christ" music. 

It is our goal to learn it by end of September. We will gather as a group after the General Women's meeting broadcast and sing "The Living Christ" together. This challenge is a great way for us to focus on our theme, "Becoming a Woman of Christ," and to imprint these inspired words permanently upon our hearts, becoming more unified as a stake in the process.

Carrie Wrigley, of the 8th ward, who wrote the music, has provided sheet music, recordings, and other materials to help us fulfill this quest together.  She has provided a place on her website where you can download and then learn the music. PLEASE SEE YOUR RELIEF SOCIETY PRESIDENT FOR DOWNLOAD INFORMATION.

In the October 2013 General Conference, Elder Robert D. Hales said, "The world is moving away from the Lord faster and farther than ever before. The adversary has been loosed upon the earth. We watch, hear, read, study, and share the words of prophets to be forewarned and protected. For example, “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” was given long before we experienced the challenges now facing the family. The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles” was prepared in advance of when we will need it most." 

We are grateful for your support and for the excitement we felt at Woman's Conference from the sisters about the challenge. We know we will be blessed, faith will increase, testimonies will be strengthened, and unity among us will expand as we carry out this inspired goal together.

All our love,
Terri, Leann, Jackie, Sherry.
