What a wonderful article to leave me really “thinking” about how I can be a more Christlike disciple as I seek to serve in the brick and mortar church of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Such thoughtful insight. I love a “thinking” article. Thank you.

Loved this article. Especially related to the Primary/RS - RS/Primary experience. As I look back on my life, I realize more and more the richness added to my life through the association with my fellow ward members. A treasure to me.

Most importantly: Ordinances. That which offers a ratification of the blessing promised!

Absolutely loved your article. The Blessings are real. I just wish all Wards did as much as others.

Please write an article about how singles have learned to deal with life without "the church ".... it doesn't mean singles don't have a testimony or they don't live their Savior or they don't keep covenants but the reality is there are No callings ( especially for elderly single women) ministering is done over the phone,getting priesthood blessings is done over the phone, studying come follow me is done alone( maybe over the phone if someone let's you in on zoom) singles don't feel a need for church other than getting the sacrament .... could you get a different perspective on how one does or doesn't need the church?

I was a little reluctant to return to our Sacrament Meetings at church because I had been enjoying the wonderful spirit of our home worship meetings so much. I was also frustrated because the speakers wear masks, even though there is a plexi barrier around the pulpit. Because I have a hearing loss, this makes it impossible to hear very much at all. However, I have found that it is such a blessing just to be WITH THE SAINTS! I am also able to enjoy the music and the renewing of my Sacrament covenants. I love pondering the words of our hymns. I am so grateful to be part of a congregation who love the Lord and want to follow Him. I continuously find that joining with the Saints every Sunday and covenanting with the Savior is a great strength to my soul.
