HANDBOOK 2, 20.4.3

As

the congregation sings the sacrament hymn, the priesthood holders who will bless the sacrament reverently stand, remove the cloth that covers the bread trays, and break the bread into bite-sized pieces. When they finish breaking the bread, they sit down and join in singing the hymn. Following the hymn, the person who blesses the bread kneels and offers the sacrament prayer for the bread. The bishop makes sure they are spoken clearly, accurately, and with dignity. Slide8

Moroni 4-5

HANDBOOK 2, 20.4.3

If

the person who blesses the sacrament makes an error in the wording but corrects it himself, no further correction is required. If the person does not correct an error, the bishop indicates that he should repeat the prayer correctly.

After

the prayer, deacons or other priesthood holders pass the bread to the congregation in a reverent and orderly manner. The presiding officer receives the sacrament first. Slide9

HANDBOOK 2, 18.2.2

Each

sacrament meeting should be a spiritual experience in which members of the Church renew their covenants by partaking of the sacrament. Other purposes of sacrament meeting are to worship, provide gospel instruction, perform ordinances, conduct ward business, and strengthen faith and testimony.Slide11

HANDBOOK 2, 18.2.3Fast and Testimony Meeting is usually on the first Sunday of each

month. After

the sacrament, the bishopric member who is conducting the meeting bears a brief testimony. He then invites members to bear heartfelt testimonies and to relate faith-promoting experiences. The bishopric encourages members to keep their testimonies brief so more people may have the opportunity to participate

Moroni 6:5-6, 9Slide12

Moroni 6 “Many years ago, large packs of wolves roamed the countryside in Ukraine, making travel in that part of the world very dangerous. These wolf packs were fearless. They were not intimidated by people or by any of the weapons available at that time. The only thing that seemed to frighten them was fire. Consequently, travelers who found themselves away from cities developed the common practice of building a large bonfire and keeping it burning through the night. As long as the fire burned brightly, the wolves stayed away. But if it were allowed to burn out and die, the wolves would move in for an attack. Travelers understood that building and maintaining a roaring bonfire was not just a matter of convenience or comfort; it was a matter of survival. Slide13

Moroni 6 “We do not have to protect ourselves from wolf packs as we travel the road of life today, but, in a spiritual sense, we do face the devious wolves of Satan in the forms of temptation, evil, and sin. We live in dangerous times when these ravenous wolves roam the spiritual countryside in search of those who may be weak in faith or feeble in their conviction. We are all vulnerable to attack. However, we can fortify ourselves with the protection provided by a burning testimony that, like a bonfire, has been built adequately and maintained carefully.

“

Unfortunately, some in the Church may believe sincerely that their testimony is a raging bonfire when it really is little more than the faint flickering of a candle. Their faithfulness has more to do with habit than holiness. With such a feeble light of testimony for protection, these travelers on life’s highways are easy prey for the wolves of the adversary”

(Elder

Wirthlin

, in

Conference Report, Oct. 1992, 45–46; or Ensign, Nov. 1992, 34).Slide14

Moroni 6:7-8

HANDBOOK 1, 6.1.1

Church Discipline

The

first purpose of Church discipline is to save the souls of transgressors by helping them

repent. Church

discipline can facilitate repentance by helping transgressors recognize and forsake sin, seek forgiveness, make restitution, and demonstrate a renewed commitment to keep the commandments

. Slide15

Moroni 6:7-8

HANDBOOK 1, 6.1.2-3

The

second purpose of Church discipline is to protect the innocent. With inspiration, a priesthood leader should act to protect others when a transgressor poses a physical or spiritual threat to

them.

The

third purpose of Church discipline is to safeguard the purity, integrity, and good name of the Church. Slide16
