#LIGHTtheWORLD

It’s time to turn our focus to Christmas.

In honor of Jesus Christ, the LDS Church has prepared a 2016 Christmas initiative, entitled #LIGHTtheWORLD, to celebrate His birth and light. The initiative begins November 25th and ends Christmas day. Local church leaders received information about the initiative that can be used for Christmas activity planning. This information can also be useful for families.

Light The World Video

Releasing November 25th, the “Light the World” video emphasizes on bringing the light into the world this Christmas. We can be a light to those around us by serving them and inviting them over for dinner. We can also invite others to help us serve those in need.

Pass-along cards and posters are a perfect way for us to share our favorite Christ-themed Conference talks or favorite Christ centered scriptures with others. We can also write a message about why we love our Savior. We should encourage everyone to #LIGHTtheWORLD with us this Christmas. We can also download the pass-along cards and posters at comeuntochrist.org.

Thanksgiving isn’t over yet and people have already been tweeting about the #LIGHTtheWORLD. They are excited to share how we can help bring the light this Christmas starting December 1.
