NEW Duty To God Program

Clint:  July 11, 2010
My guess is that it will be fairly difficult to get 12 year old boys to think about goals on their own and write them down. In my experience, it was hard enough to get the boys to plan activities around very specific requirements. I would imagine it will be even more difficult for them to think of activities that will help everyone in the quorum fulfill their individual goals. My guess is that the parents will need to be MUCH more involved than in the previous program.

OLD Duty To God Program

Thank you soooooo much.  I have passed this on to the heads of our auxillaries and our Bishop.  They are a tremendous resource and I'm so excited to get the posters now for the young ones as well as the YW.  Thank you so much for notifying me.  I have children in all these age groups and I agree with ALL the comments on how helpful these are.  They are wonderful tools.  Thank you so very much!

The Lindon West stake ordered enough posters so each young man in their stake can display and track progress in their home. A mother wrote:  "I am from the Lindon West Stake, and my son received one of the posters. I want to say thank you! It is already on the wall and in use! It definitely is more visible than the book that didn't get opened as often. The poster itself is beautiful, and it is so easy to read. I may try to use this same poster to implement goals for the whole family. Thanks again for a great product!" (stake: qty 450)

"The posters are AWESOME! I provided some training on the Duty to God program in a breakout session for the Aaronic Priesthood leaders in our last Stake Conference. I had just received the posters the day before and hung them up to show. The response from everyone was great. They loved them. I have found (at least here) that the biggest obstacle in implementing the Duty to God program is getting the parents involved. The posters are perfect because they involve the parents. When I heard about the posters, I thought they would be a chart with all the requirements and a row for each boy. Something to be hung in the church. Something similar to the BSA troop progress chart. This format is even better.  Thanks." (stake: qty. 180)

The posters are awesome. I really believe they will make a diffference for our young men. Thanks.

We love our posters and intend on making them a regular part of the DTG process. We'll be placing fairly regular orders. Thanks again. (ward: qty. 35)

A ward in Lindon scheduled a YM and parents fireside to discuss the Duty To God program and orient the parents on how important their role is in helping their young men. The YM were given the posters as a tool to help them stay focused and set some goals with their parents. (ward: qty 60)

These posters are great! Are the posters updated to show the current service requirements, and reference the new reading resources (i.e. "The Holy Temple ", "Endowed on High " "True to the Faith")???
ANSWER: YES. As of September 2004, the posters reflect ALL the new updates and changes to the duty to god program.

THANKS FOR A GREAT PRODUCT

Portland, OR
Thanks for the opportunity to display a free set of posters. They will be used at an October 30 LDS/Scouting Relationship Conference at which leaders from 20+ stakes will participate. I am the council's program director, and will use these in a training display so church & scouting leaders know about this resource.

Thank You, we look forward to making this a valuable part of our YM/YW programs.

I heard about these at the Philmont LDS Leadership training. We will show these at Priesthood Leadership in our stake. Thanks!
