Members who are unable to attend Sacrament services in person can request a link from Bishop Mike Gravley at 562-212-8681.

The course of study this year is the Book of Mormon. Personal study for May 13-20 should be centered on Mosiah 11-17.

The “Come, Follow Me” manual says “While large fires can start from a single spark. Abinadi was only one man testifying against a powerful king and his court. His words were rejected for the most part, and he was sentenced to death. Yet his testimony of Jesus Christ, who is the ‘light … that can never be darkened’” (Mosiah 16:9), sparked something inside the young priest Alma. And that spark of conversion slowly grew as Alma brought many others to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.”
