Last June the Church celebrated the 30th anniversary of all worthy male members being extended the privilege of receiving the holy priesthood. I remember the day it was announced in June 1978. I was driving in the car and heard it broadcast on the radio. As the words audibly hit my ears, the Spirit immediately witnessed to my heart of the rightness of it all. What a blessing it has been for everyone.
Now, 30 years later, the Church had a commemoration event with music and speakers in celebration of that significant day. I was so inspired by the testimonies that were given. What a great blessing is the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know it is true and it is a blessing to ALL people. This video was made specifically for the celebration and I'm happy to display it on my blog.
I wish I had a link so you could watch the whole celebration, but I could only find the transcripts to the talks that were given that evening:
Sheldon F. Child
Fred A. Parker III
Catherine M. Stokes
Ahmad S. Corbitt
I know this program was months ago, but it has been on my mind. It was an inspiring presentation. I am grateful for this great revelation and the timing of it. "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform...God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain." (Hymns, 285)
"He inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile."
--2 Nephi 26:33

JoLinda showed us this clip while we were over there this last Sunday. We really enjoyed it. I think it is a great depiction of what happened. And we all really liked that one cute older lady, she spoke a couple of times, then she gave the last comment... She was so cute! Well that's all :) Love ya!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing faith these people had, to not have an explanation as to why they had to wait for the "right time" but to just be patient and rejoice when that time did come. What a strong testimony, thanks for sharing the video.
