Counsel together

Led by the person conducting the meeting, the class or quorum spends 5 to 10 minutes counseling together about their responsibilities in the work of salvation and exaltation. This is an opportunity for the class or quorum presidency to follow up on items discussed in presidency meeting or ward youth council meeting.

The person conducting could also use one or more of these questions:

Living the gospel

• What recent experiences have strengthened our testimonies of Jesus Christ and His gospel?

• What are we doing to draw closer to the Savior? How are we trying to be more like Him?

• How have we felt the Lord’s guidance in our lives?

Caring for people in need

• Who have we felt guided to help or serve? What assignments have we received from the bishopric to help someone in need?

• How can we support each other in the things we are going through?

• Has someone recently moved into our ward or joined the Church? How can we help them feel welcome?

Inviting all to receive the gospel

• What can we do to help others feel God’s love?

• What activities are coming up that we can invite our friends to attend?

• What plans to share the gospel have been discussed in ward youth council meetings? How can our class or quorum get involved?

Uniting families for eternity

• What are some ways we can better connect with family members, including grandparents and cousins?

• What are we doing to find names of our ancestors who need temple ordinances? What can we do to help others find the names of their ancestors?

• How can we participate more in temple work—individually and as a class or quorum?

Learn together

An adult leader or a member of the quorum or class leads instruction about this week’s Come, Follow Me reading. They use the study ideas in Come, Follow Me—For Home and Church. The study idea with this icon is aligned with seminary and is especially relevant to youth. However, any of the study ideas may be used. This portion of the meeting usually takes about 35 to 40 minutes.

Closing

The person conducting the meeting:

• Bears testimony of the principles taught.

• Discusses how the class or quorum will act on what they learned—as a group or individually.
