The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released a 2017 Christmas message:
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ this Christmas season, our hope is that the light and testimony of the Savior’s divine mission as the Redeemer of all mankind will come into our hearts and be reflected in our thoughts, our words, and our actions.

of His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Master.

GENERAL CONFERENCE





The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square perform Mack Wilberg’s arrangement of the German Carol “O Come, Little Children” in this beautiful new Christmas music video from the Choir. The video follows the intertwining story of a young boy and young girl and their similar adversities. While one child and family struggles, the other child rallies those nearby to lift the burden of the other. All come together and learn from the example of a child, and for a moment, all is well in their world. “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:4 Lyrics: O come, little children O come, one and all. O come to the cradle In Bethlehem’s stall. Come look in the manger, There sleeps on the hay, An infant so lovely, In light bright as day. The hay is His pillow. The manger His bed. The beasts stand in wonder To gaze on His head. Yet there, in the stable, So humble and poor, Come shepherds and wise men To kneel at His door. O bow with the shepherds On low bended knee, With hearts full of thanks For the gift which we see. O sing little children, To Him you adore. Sing joy to the world, Love and peace evermore.
