This may be our most important class! It will change the way we work and rest and live! See you on Thursday for burritos and a brand new deep doctrinal dive.

Once, when Jesus was criticized for breaking the Sabbath He responded, "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath". So…what does that mean? Many of the questions asked in our Deep Doctrine course relate to the Sabbath--what should/shouldn't we do? is it still relevant? what if I work on Sunday? how do I actually make the Sabbath work for me?

Summer at the Institute is here! Do you want a deeper spirituality? A deeper understanding of exceptional truths? A deeper study of the scriptures? Or just really good food deep in your belly and a chance to deepen friendships with others.

No matter the reason, come dive deep with us!

Also, help us spread the word to anyone new in your ward, circle of friends, or community. Any young adult (18-35), married or single, is welcome to come!

This institute course has been all about helping us see the Lord in our everyday lives. This next week we'll bring it all together and ask you to share, not just what you have learned, but what you have seen and felt over the past months. Have you felt Him breathing life or energy into you? Have you felt new ideas come to you like a flood or like water from a well? Have you felt prompted to burn away some sacrifice in your life? Has molded you like clay? Has He used his light to show you something about Him, about you, or about your life? If "yes" to any of these, we need to hear about it. If "no", then you need to hear what others will say.

Regardless, we want all students--whether you've been every class, only once, or not only once--to join with us this Thursday for a Pizza Party at 6:30 and then a powerful learning and testimony experience at 7:00.

Last week we heard God say, "Let there be light" and talked about just what that means and what that light does for us. This week we are going to bring that light into our own personal lamps so that the Lord's word can be a "lamp [can be] a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." Practically: we're going to study lamps in the Hebrew Bible and then talk expert scripture study skills for our own lives. Want to power up your scripture study? Want to better use scriptures to prep talks, lessons, or just your own study? Preparing for a mission (or recently home from one) and what that next level of scripture study? Come make a lamp this Thursday.

Our prep is a bit unique: please take our year-end survey -> https://forms.office.com/r/kWGw4PMj6T and share it with anyone else who's been in class.

Then, come join us for a BBQ chicken sandwiches/macaroni salad dinner and a study of one of my favorite Old Testament stories (about lamps). See you tomorrow!

Over the next three weeks in Institute, we'll study the most powerful and pervasive symbol of the Lord's presence: LIGHT!

Do you want to see better? see yourself better? see others better? see God better?

Come and study with us, fill your week with light, your stomach with good food, and your life with more divine clarity.

See you on Thursday!

We've studied "breath"; we've studied "water"; this week we study "fire" in our ongoing quest to more frequently feel the spirit or God direct our lives.

What would you need to, want to, and be willing to sacrifice in your life to feel the spirit of God more often or more clearly?

That's the questions at the heart of our study this week in institute (and a delicious baked potato and salad bar with dessert will be in our stomach this week in institute).

See you there!
