DETAILS: The Bishopric has asked the Young Men to take charge of the Sacrament Meeting program on Sunday, May 31. Jamal, James, and Darius have already started preparing their talks.
LESSONS
Recap: We talked about how to give a good church talk. There are three parts to a talk—the opening, middle, and closing.
1) Opening: The opening is how you start your talk. This is where you tell the listeners what you will talk about and list the ideas you plan to cover. You should not explain how you were asked to speak or tell an irrelevant joke.
2) Middle: This is where you make your points. Three is generally good number of points to have. State each point clearly, give an example of that point, and then discuss that example. The examples can be scriptures, excerpts from conference talks, personal experiences, poems, hypothetical situations, movies, etc. A talk will be more interesting if you use interesting examples to illustrate your points.
3) Closing: The closing is how you end your talk. You should restate the main idea of your talk and bear your testimony about it. You should finish by saying, “In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”
Upcoming: Next week we will practice our talks for the 31st and finalize our complete Sacrament Meeting program.
