Things I love most about the Church.

[eddie]

I love the people, they are doing the best they can to perfect themselves.
I love the Primary sacrament program, the songs are basic and their voices are like angels.
I love being taught that I am a child of God.
I love the program for the youth, there is no greater program on earth!
I love watching the Lord get ahold of the youth who give up schooling, career and family to go on a mission and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ.

And last but not least, I love testimony meeting, you never know what a hungry person is going to say!!

What do you love about the Church?

[Tbone]

I love hearing recent converts share their testimony for the first time and how the gospel has changed their life. Two years ago we had a family of former atheists get baptized and their testimony was the most beautiful and uplifting thing I had ever heard in church.

[Tbone]

I love how in Ward Council everyone is so focused on the needs of individual members, and I especially love it when we see positive results.

[Tbone]

I really love Teacher Council meetings in our ward. Despite the fact that I am Sunday School President, most of our discussions have been amazing and I believe have helped our teachers.

All that and more.
I love going to church on Sunday. If you are not a member of the church, what can you do on Sunday.
Go to the Temple during the week.
Other activities.
If it was only that, it would be worth it right there. But, there's more ...

I'm sure all of you know. Even if you don't want to admit it.

Go to the Temple during the week.

That reminded me. I love going to the temple every week with my son to do baptisms for my wife's family members.

[drtanner]

I love the missionaries, the spirit they carry at such a young age, the opportunity it gives them to sacrifice something for the Lord at that time in life.

I love the self reliance initiative and the desire to help the world become independent spiritually and temporally by being dependent on Christ.

I love the ordinance of the sacrament

I love the miracles that take place in the House of the Lord

I love general conference, I don't know of another venue like it where thousands of hours of preparation, fasting, and prayer are spent to address millions across the world to become more like Christ.

I love the answers and perspective it gives to life, trials, and the relationship we have towards one another.

I am grateful for the sacrament each week, to draw closer to the Lord. To help bare one anothers burdens . So many of us with the common goal of seeking the Savior in our imperfect way. The opportunity to lift in spirit and also receive comfort and care from our fellow saints. It is a privilege and gift to be able to meet together. To be able to say "I Believe in Christ" and have all nod in approval. Where else can we be so honest about who we are.

[eddie]

I love having a ward family, they have helped me in many ways. I enjoy the diversity in personalities, we had a sister we called sarge, it was her nickname and she like it! I always stood at attention when she came around! A wonderful woman!

[Alaris]

I love Bishops that "get it" and understand what's most important.

[tribrac]

I love people with their quirks trying to get along.
I love the sense of higher purpose that ties people together.
I love challenges that make me grow.
I love to feel the spirit.
But most of all I love primary songs.

[Vision]

I love it when the speakers share first person life changing experiences with doctrine.

[Z2100]

I love it when we bring gentiles unto the church so they can gain eternal salvation

[justkeepswimming]

I love that after a stressful week of work I can "zone" out in the spirit for 3 hours w/o having to worry about money!

I love the subtle embarrassment on a priests face when he says the sacrament prayer wrong and has to say it again. Takes me back to a time in my life when I thought something like that was my biggest problem:)

[endlessQuestions]

I just wanted to say thank you for this thread.

[Ezra]

I lived in a ward that would have a potluck after services once a month. I loved that. Just hanging out and discussing different church topics while eating good food with members of the ward.

[alduckdog]

The restored gospel. More specifically the continuity of it. I have always loved how it is the same here in TX as it is in AL, or if I am in Afghanistan and the only member on my outpost.

[oneClimbs]

I love the Book of Mormon.
I love the Temple.
I love the opportunity to serve a mission.
I love the genuinely kind and good people I know.
I love having a community where I can share my experiences with God freely.
I love raising my children around good people that share my values.
I love being with people who selflessly serve.
I love our conception of heaven.
I love pondering our doctrines and principles.
I love how well our theology meshes with all truth.
I love that we actually stand for things even when social pressure rises.
I love how we use symbolism as a teaching tool.
I love our appreciation of reverence.
I love that we teach our children (and adults) the value of chastity.
I love that the things I learned led me to experience God personally.

[Yahtzee]

The scriptures. I really love D&C and The Book of Mormon is simply life changing.
Music. Nothing fixes my bad moods like sacred music about our Savior.
Primary! I just love everything about it, sunbeams to 11yr olds.
The wonderful leaders who have helped me grapple with the most painful parts of existence.

[Matchmaker]

It is the cornerstone of my life.

[eddie]

I love Jesus Christ, I love that He guides and directs our Prophet, I love that he has the keys of the Priesthood and can unlock the gate and allow us to do Temple work for those who didn't receive it.

[Rand]

I love that it is what it claims to be. I love that it is true, possesses such incredible goodness and depth. I love what it makes of people who will walk the path of its covenants and ordinances. I love that it can only truly be enjoyed through the possession of the Spirit. I love all the things that 5tev3 said. I love to see the changes in people called to be leaders. They possess something that they didn't before the call to serve and after they are released. The call gives true substantial gifts to those called to leadership, if they allow them to be active in their lives.

[kittycat51]

What I love most is the PEACE that it brings into my crazy hectic life. It helps me to remember as President Hinckley use to always say: "Things will work out." I truly believe that with all my heart, it may not be in this life but it will happen.

I love the Sabbath day, and how it allows me (and I choose) to unplug from the world for a day. To be able to remember and focus on what is really important in life.

I love now that our children are mostly grown, that I can sit in sacrament meeting next to my husband and hold his hand (not being separated by wiggly little ones) and being able to more fully focus on the messages being given.

I love FHE, and the example that my father set in showing the example of consistency. I now implement that with my own and know that it has brought us closer as a family and made a difference.

I love family prayer, and hearing my boys pray. I can see their growth in the gospel as they pour out their hearts to Heavenly Father in behalf of our family.

I love the youth leaders and teachers who truly have taken an interest in my boys, to set good examples, to teach and lead with love.

I love the example of my pioneer ancestors and that they gave "all" in behalf of the gospel of Jesus Christ. If they can, I can.

I love the plan of Salvation and because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, whom I love, my sins and inadequacies can be forgiven.

"I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,
Confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me.
I tremble to know that for me he was crucified,
That for me, a sinner, he suffered, he bled and died.
Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me
Enough to die for me!
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!
2. I marvel that he would descend from his throne divine
To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine,
That he should extend his great love unto such as I,
Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.
Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me
Enough to die for me!
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!
3. I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt!
Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?
No, no, I will praise and adore at the mercy seat,
Until at the glorified throne I kneel at his feet."
