How do we pay for activities?
"Activities, including supplies, are paid for by the ward budget. Travel and expenses should not be excessive. Budget for the youth is based on the number of youth in the ward."
We are supposed to "counsel together" each Sunday. What does that mean?
Led by the person conducting the meeting, the class or quorum spends 5 to 10 minutes counseling together about their responsibilities in the work of salvation and exaltation. This is an opportunity for the class or quorum presidency to follow up on items discussed in presidency meeting or ward youth council meeting.
