2012 Mutual Theme for Youth Spotlighted on New DVD

"Strength of Youth Media 2012: Arise and Shine Forth is a collection of video and music resources centered on the 2012 mutual theme for young men and young women," according to a report on www.lds.org.

The article states that the video and music resources will be available online in mid-December, with copies of DVDs sent to units in early 2012.

The article adds: "The mutual theme—"Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations" (D&C 115:5)—comes from a revelation given through the Prophet Joseph Smith at Far West, Missouri, in 1838. It was addressed to the presiding officers of the Church at the time, but as the Mutual theme it applies to youth ages 12 to 18 throughout the Church."

17-year-old New Zealander, Christian, says: "The idea of this DVD is great! It surely will help youth see how small things can have such a huge impact, and how easy it is to find opportunities to serve our neighbours, and thereby serve our Heavenly Father."
