New Curriculum beginning 2013
"Come Follow Me"


September 12, 2012

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

We are pleased to announce a new curriculum for Young Men and Young Women and for youth Sunday School classes. The new curriculum integrates basic gospel doctrines, as well as principles for teaching in the Savior's way that are also being introduced into the seminary curriculum. The focus is on strengthening and building faith, conversion, and testimony, using the most current teachings of the General Authorities and general auxiliary presidencies.

The curriculum initially will be available online in 23 languages, beginning in January 2013, and will replace the existing manuals. Additional information will be provided in upcoming area council, coordinating council, and local stake and ward training meetings.

We are confident the new curriculum will bless youth in their efforts to become fully converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Sincerely yours,

Thomas S. Monson
Henry B. Eyring
Dieter F. Uchtdorf

2013 Mutual Theme "Stand Ye in Holy Places"

A notice dated August 21, 2012, announced the 2013 Mutual theme: “Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord” (Doctrine and Covenants 87:8; emphasis added).

Leaders are encouraged to use the theme to enrich Mutual opening exercises, as a topic for sacrament meeting talks by youth, and to provide focus for youth activities such as camp, youth conference, and devotionals. It may also be used to focus youth on temple worthiness, temple attendance, and family history.

The annual DVD, Strength of Youth Media 2013: Stand Ye in Holy Places, will be available online at the end of the year. These brief video segments may be used to supplement quorum meetings, classes, youth conference, and other youth activities throughout the year.

Additional resource material in support of the theme will be available in the New Era and Liahona magazines and on LDS.org at the beginning of 2013.
