Promise of a Prophet

Seminary will help you to understand and rely on the teachings and Atonement of Jesus Christ. You will feel the Spirit of the Lord as you learn to love the scriptures. You will prepare yourselves for the temple and for missionary service.
Young people, I ask you to participate in seminary. Study your scriptures daily. Listen to your teachers carefully. Apply what you learn prayerfully.
-President Thomas S. Monson (source)

Start of a new year!

Welcome to the new students for this year! We will be looking at the Old Testament over the coming 35 weeks and learning together of the atonement and the life of the Saviour as taught in the ancient world, to many of those who went before us. I hope that together we will draw closer to our Heavenly Father by understanding the doctrines and principles that are contained in this wonderful book of scripture.

This blog will be updated with materials from the lessons that I feel you might feel useful or with links to additional activities or talks etc that you might enjoy. It is also a forum for questions that you would like answered but maybe don't want to ask them in class - simply post them on this site as comments and I will do my best to cover them in the lessons.

I look forward to a wonderful year together and for the opportunity that we have to study and learn together.

I want you to know that I know that the Church is true, that the authority to act in God's name is truly upon the earth. I know that God lives, that Jesus Christ is our Saviour and Redeemer and that through Him we can return to live with our Heavenly Father. I know that the Atonement is a means of cleansing us of past misdeeds, but is also a means of great strength to enable us to be better and become the saints that the Lord desires us to become.

May the Lord bless you as you strive to live His Gospel and do what you feel is right.
