What’s Up?

Strength of Youth Media 2012

Have you seen any of the videos from the DVD Strength of Youth Media 2012: Arise and Shine Forth yet? Well if you haven’t seen them, you can go to youth.lds.org and watch them anytime you want. Just follow the link to “Youth Theme 2012” to find videos and more.

You’ll be inspired as you watch 15 videos about other Latter-day Saint youth like you who are striving to let their examples shine forth to their friends and family. There are also 3 short messages from Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Young Women general president Elaine S. Dalton, and Young Men general president David L. Beck.

And there’s more. Additional materials will be available online, such as downloadable MP3 songs, a music video of the 2012 theme song, “Arise,” and downloadable graphics centered on the theme that can be used to create posters and T-shirts.
