I look forward to my church’s General Conference each October and April, and last April’s conference packet round-up was so popular that I’ve been eager to make a new round up of new discoveries for my LDS readers. But of course, I’ve been so busy the last few weeks with my press trip to LA that I haven’t had a chance to put my thoughts together until just now. Since most of these activities simply require a printer and paper or items found around your house, I figured it wasn’t too late to share.
Here’s a little about LDS General Conference:
Two weekends a year (the first Saturday and Sunday of April and October) the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meets as a world-wide “virtual” congregation to listen to our leaders. General Conference weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the whole year. It’s when I fill my bucket, renew my commitment, and listen to a prophet’s voice speaking to me – because it really does feel like the messages are for me. Anyone and everyone is invited to watch. It’s broadcast throughout the world – find it here. You can also follow along on twitter with hashtag #LDSconf for inspiring messages and quotes.
Watching Conference with kids can be a little more of a challenge, as it’s hard to get them to sit still for 4 2-hour sessions, so I’ve always loved finding activities to not only keep them quiet so I can listen, but to help them also concentrate and listen and learn something from Conference.
