“I Am He Who Liveth, I Am He Who Was Slain”

 

April 3, 1836—Easter Sunday. In a quiet, sacred moment behind the veil of the Kirtland Temple, the resurrected Savior appeared and declared: “I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain.” (D&C 110:4)

He didn’t just rise—He lives. He leads. He heals. He speaks.

 

"After all the testimonies that have been given of Him… this is the testimony we give: That He lives.” – D&C 76:22

 

“The only time I set the bar low is for limbo.” – Michael Scott

 

Let this week be one where we raise the bar, spiritually speaking.

 

🗣 Discussion starters:

  • What does it mean to you that Jesus lives today—not just lived?

  • When have you felt His hand in your life recently?

  • How do we share living testimony the way Joseph Smith did?

 

🎯Youth Activities – Wednesday, April 17 @7PM

“Bears. Beets. Battle-Ready Teenagers.”

 

👧 Young Women: Stake YW Camp kickoff at the Stake Center gym! Girls and parents invited.

📍 Bring your questions, your energy, and maybe a few Pam-style doodles for your camp journal.

 

👦 Young Men: Fitness obstacle course at the Slade household.

🏋️ Bring swimsuits and a “Michael running a 5K for rabies” attitude. Early drop-offs welcome!

⛪️ Church Program – Sunday, April 13 @ 9AM

“Conference Room. 9AM.” – Always

 

🎙 Speakers: Brian Goold & Cindy Clark

🎶 Special musical numbers in honor of Palm Sunday

📆 Reminder: Easter Sunday (April 20) is a special sacrament meeting. Great opportunity to invite friends and family (and maybe that neighbor who still thinks you’re in a cult—bring ‘em).

 

🤝 Ministering Reminder

“You miss 100% of the ministering you don’t do.” – Wayne Gretzky – Michael Scott

 

Easter week is the perfect time to check in with your people. Drop off a treat. Invite someone to dinner.

Even Angela would approve… but she still wouldn’t smile about it.

Missionary Work – Feed or Go With the Sisters

“We are not only feeding their hunger… we are feeding their testimonies.”  -Probably Dwight

 

✅ Sign-ups are going strong. Let’s keep it rolling like a good old-fashioned office potluck (but, like, with fewer Jell-O molds)

  • Sign up to feed them 🍽️

  • Go out teaching with them 🙌

  • Invite someone to meet them 🫶

    They need your light and love to reach farther!

🍽 Feed the Missionaries

🚗 Join Them for a Lesson

🎬 Final Thought from the Break Room

As we celebrate Easter and the truth that He lives, let’s remember that the Savior’s love is not a one-time event—it’s a daily invitation. Whether you feel like Michael running the 5K for rabies, or Dwight winning Salesman of the Year, you belong here. You matter. And there’s always a place for you at His table—and at ours.

 

Let’s keep loving, serving, and laughing together.

See you Sunday at 9. 

—The World’s Best Assistant (to the) Bishop (probably) 🏆
