Coming Soon!

Institute classes will begin again on Thursday, September 4. Day classes will be held from 11:00am till noon; evening classes 8:00-9:00pm. Both sessions will meet in the Relief Society room at the stake center, 12835 Black Mountain Road. This year's curriculum will continue our study of the Book of Mormon, finishing off the last third of the book. We'll briefly review the last few chapters of Alma, overview Helaman, and look closely at the first chapter of Helaman on September 4. Those who are on the email list from last year will receive study questions around August 27. If you are interested in having your name on that list, or if you have questions about the class, please leave a comment below.
The Book of Helaman is amazingly relevant to our society today, with messages that apply directly to us as we prepare for the Second Coming of the Savior. Third Nephi gives us a beautiful additional witness of the ministry of Jesus Christ, his tender love for his children and timeless counsel. Fourth Nephi shows us what it means to be a Zion people. Mormon draws us into his collapsing world with warnings about our own. Ether reflects and reinforces lessons of the Book of Mormon by introducing us to a more ancient people with similar problems. And Moroni eloquently enriches the book with his final commentaries and profound witness of the Savior. We have a marvelous year ahead! I look forward to seeing you all on September 4th.
