Charlotte Gardner, a member of the Ozark congregation, spoke in stake conference last month about what children can do to help their families create Christ-centered homes. She shared:

“Charity is the pure love of Christ, or loving as Jesus did. My family is homeschooled, and every year we
have a school theme. It is a scripture verse, or verses that we specifically focus on for that year. This year’s theme is 1st Corinthians 13:4-8: ‘Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up…Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth…’

“This means that if we act and love as Jesus would, He won’t fail us. If we choose to have charity, it will lead to a Christ-centered home.

“Even though kids are small, and can sometimes think they can’t make a difference, they really can! Through small and simple acts of kindness and love, it will ultimately lead to a Christ-centered home.”

In March, youth from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, had a chance to go to a day at the state of Missouri Capitol and meet with representatives and learn about state government.
Youth got to meet with their state representatives and the lieutenant governor among others.

Brody Quale, a young member of the Nixa Ward, said it was an amazing experience for him educationally and spiritually.

“It was so fun to hear all the different voices and opinions,” he said. “It was really cool to see how much our government revolves around a belief in God. They said prayers before meetings and I learned that George Washington actually said a prayer on behalf of the United States asking for a protection and a blessing on our nation.”

Brittni Carr, a member of the Nixa congregation, shares her feelings about the events of Holy Week.

“I love the stories that come from Holy Week. It’s one of my favorite topics to study in the scriptures. The people jump out of the pages for me. I find so much of myself in Martha, Mary, Peter, Thomas, Barabas and many others. They are real people who loved and served Jesus, made mistakes and had a lot to learn just like I do. The obvious crowning jewel being the Savior’s resurrection. Knowing the things that happened leading up to Easter makes my testimony even stronger because it all points to God having a plan for us. I’m so grateful to know my Savior lives and loves me.”

Looking for an opportunity to serve?

Project Birthday Bag is a 501(c)3 nonprofit in Nixa that serves only Christian County. They provide “Birthday in a Bag” to financially struggling parents/guardians for children age 1-13 or 8th grade.
Referrals come from the Christian County School system, Abundant Blessings, Least of These and other partners.
There are packing parties twice monthly where businesses or local organizations are invited in to pack the bags. Bags are delivered to the parent discretely so the child doesn’t know the presents were donated. The parent is truly the superhero!
Check out the website for more info on how to donate or volunteer!
