We Need You

We want to hear what you’ve got to say. Would you like to be on our New Era e-mail panel? From time to time we have questions or requests that we’ll send out to those on our e-mail list. We might ask for your response to an article, we might ask you to tell us about your favorite Mutual activity, or we might ask you what topics you’d like to read about in the future. If you’d like to be on the list just send an e-mail to newera@ldschurch.org letting us know you want to be on the panel.

Write Away

Your parents called it dating, but is that term too, well, dated? Whatever you call it these days (and we’d like to know just what you call it), we’d like to hear what it means to you. Tell us how you date in your culture. What kinds of activities do you do? How do you keep your standards high and in line with the guidelines in For the Strength of Youth?

Send your responses to us at:
