FSY Friday Schedule

Participant Devotional

7:20 a.m. to 7:30 a.m.

Participant Devotional is the perfect way to start your day. One or two group members can volunteer to lead a counselor group devotional each morning to set the tone for the day. If you volunteer to lead, you’ll be asked to do the following:

• Select a hymn to sing together as a group.
• Invite a group member to offer a prayer.
• Share a brief spiritual thought such as a favorite scripture, a personal experience related to a quote from a general conference talk, or testify of truths contained in another gospel resource.

Your counselor will also use this time for any announcements and a review of the schedule.

Breakfast

(may be swapped with Gospel Study)
7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

Mealtimes allow youth and counselors to relax, enjoy some food, and bond with each other.

Gospel Study

(may be swapped with Breakfast)
8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.

Each morning you’ll have scheduled time for personal gospel study. Your counselor will briefly teach essential study skills, allowing you time to dive into your scriptures or other gospel resources for a personal experience. Afterwards, you’ll share insights from your study with your company. Through this process you’ll develop a love for the scriptures, recognize how they will bless your life, and establish a daily study habit.

Morning Devotional

9:45 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Morning Devotionals provide an opportunity for your session to gather and learn about the annual youth theme. Your session advisers will deliver inspired and uplifting messages each morning. During these devotionals take notes, reflect on your thoughts and feelings, and seek personal revelation.

Sharing the Gospel Activity

10:45 a.m. to noon

Come to understand the importance of accepting President Russell M Nelson’s invitation from the Lord to gather Israel on both sides of the veil, by accepting his invitation “to enlist in the youth battalion of the Lord” (“Hope of Israel,” worldwide youth devotional, June 3, 2018, Gospel Library). You have an important work to do, and the “Sharing the Gospel Activity” will help you know how to fulfill your responsibility.

These fun, interactive activities will help you discover how the past has shaped you, share genuine love through ministering and missionary efforts in the present, and shape the future by accepting the Lord’s invitation to gather Israel. You will have the opportunity to commit to actions that will help in the Lord’s work.

#ShareGoodness Discussion

Both will help you fortify your lifelong commitment to Jesus Christ.
