Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

There will be no church services—Sacrament, Sunday school or Primary—on Sunday, Jan 22. Instead, there will be the semiannual Los Alamitos Stake Conference. The first adult session will be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan 21. The second session will be held at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Jan 22. Both meetings will be held at the Stake Center located at 4142 Cerritos Ave. in Los Alamitos.

The reading source for this year is the New Testament. The reading assignment for the week of Jan. 23-29 is Matthew 3, Mark 1 and Luke 3.

People are encouraged to pay special attention to Luke 3:5. Here Luke describes the effect that the savior’s coming would have: “Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low…the crooked made straight and the rough smoothed.” If a permanent mountain can be flattened, then surely the Lord can help us straighten our crooked paths.”

The message is “ Jesus Christ and his gospel can change you”.
