lacofdfireman Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I was just called to be the Deacons Advisor in my ward and I know at the beginning of class they always Recite the Mission Statement of the Aaronic Priesthood. I would like to print up some of these for all the boys and have them laminated so they can have it in there scriptures but I cannot find it anywhere. Can someone on here please type it out so I can copy and paste it so I can do this for my class? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prospectmom Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Are you confusing this with the Mutual theme for the year>>> Go to Lds.org and then to Aaronic Preisthood. I only found the yearly mutual theme to the right of the page not any mission statement. You'll find what you need there I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john doe Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yes, that would be it. I'm not sure, but it is possible that cards may be available through the church distribution system. Check with your ward clerk and see if they are available to order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honor, This is the exact quote I was looking for. I guess it's the purpose and not Mission statement.. Thanks so much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderhound825 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I just got called to advise the deacon's quorum as well. It's certainly a challenge, but I'm really enjoying it, and I hope that you are too. It's my understanding that there is a little more to the Mission Statement of the Aaronic Priesthood so I've gone ahead and typed out the entire thing below. Hope it helps!Mission Statement of the Aaronic PriesthoodI am a son of my Heavenly Father and a disciple of Jesus Christ. I have been entrusted with "the priesthood of Aaron which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins." (D&C 13:1)As a bearer of the Aaronic Priesthood, I will:-Become converted to teh gospel of Jesus Christ and live by its teachings-Serve faithfully in priesthood callings, and fulfill the responsibilities of my priesthood office.-Give meaningful service.-Prepare to serve an honorable full-time mission.-Obtain as much education as possible.-Prepare to become a worthy husband and father.-Give proper respect to women, girls, and children.

Honor Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I don't think I've ever heard it said before, just heard my brother talk about it but I knew a few of the things it had listed in it. Thanks for the full thing powder. I looked on the church distribution site, but didn't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
