All rights reserved.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is inviting youth ages 11-18 from around the world to gather as disciples of Jesus Christ on Sunday, October 27, 2024, to celebrate sharing His light during a special worldwide broadcast.
Youth were encouraged to continue developing themselves as disciples of Jesus Christ during the January 2024 youth event focused on the 2024 theme “I am a Disciple of Christ.” In the upcoming October event, Elder Ulisses Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Young Women General President Emily Belle Freeman and Young Men General President Steven J. Lund will encourage youth to “declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life” (3 Nephi 5:13).
The prerecorded “Celebration of Light” broadcast will be available for local event organizers to download from Gospel Library and Gospel Media beginning Wednesday, October 24.
Youth and leaders are encouraged to view the brief broadcast together on October 27 or on another date that allows the most youth to attend.
