On Sept. 9, 2024, President Russell M. Nelson, the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, turns 100 years old. On that day, members and friends of the Church are invited to view a special birthday commemoration.
The 75-minute broadcast will be on Monday, Sept. 9, at 4 p.m. MDT.
President Nelson invited everyone on June 1 to spend the next 100 days before his birthday finding ways to reach out to “the one.”
“One of the places where the Savior used the number 100 in the scriptures was the parable of the lost sheep,” President Nelson said. “Though 99 of his flock were safely by his side, the shepherd went in search of the one who was lost.”
The birthday broadcast will be an opportunity not only to celebrate President Nelson’s life and teachings, but also to share stories from people who were “the one” and recap what has been done all over the world to answer President Nelson’s invitation, explained a news release on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
President Jeffrey R. Holland, acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, wrote in an Aug. 9 letter announcing the broadcast: “How thankful we are for a prophet of God, his inspired teachings, and his invitations to follow the Savior’s example of love and righteousness in all that we do.”
The livestream can be watched on broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org and the Church’s YouTube channel.
Live interpretation will be available in Arabic, Cantonese, Cebuano, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Samoan, Spanish, Tagalog, Tongan and Ukrainian.
