Share Ward Activities
Make your ward activities interesting and welcoming to all people. Then invite your neighbors and friends to participate. Inviting friends can be simple. Many friends would like to join our activities, so don’t be afraid to invite them, and don’t worry if someone doesn’t accept your offer. Most will be grateful that you thought of them, and others may want to participate in another activity.
When you attend ward activities, look for people you don’t know. Say hello. Welcome them. Take time to get to know them. Make sure they know what is happening and how to best participate in the activity. Elder Gerrit W. Gong taught: “Ward social and service activities can build new and enduring gospel bonds. … In many places in the Church, a few more ward activities … could knit us together with even greater belonging and unity. … Enjoyable gospel activities also invite neighbors and friends. Sociality and service often go together” (“Love is Spoken Here,” Liahona, Nov. 2023, 112).
Sharing our ward activities is a great way to love, share, and invite in normal and natural ways and help us feel the Spirit and the joy of sharing the gospel.
