The 2025 Bluffdale 15th Ward Plan will be based on President Nelson's call for the Gathering of Israel and greater unity.
“Anytime you do anything that helps anyone- on either side of the veil- take a step toward making covenants with God and receiving their essential baptismal and temple ordinances, you are helping to gather Israel. It is as simple as that”. President Nelson
“We live in an age when a surging tide of discord and disputation is spreading across the globe. Aided by technology and abetted by people whose hearts have waxed cold, these divisive forces threaten to fill our hearts with contempt and corrupt our communication with contention. Communal ties are breaking. Wars are raging. Against this backdrop, true followers of Jesus Christ yearn for peace and actively seek to build a different kind of society—one that is founded on the teachings of Jesus Christ. To this end, the Lord has charged us to “be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine” (Doctrine and Covenants 38:27). Indeed, unity is a hallmark of the true Church of Jesus Christ”. President Nelson
How do we Gather Israel and work against the forces of division and contention? How do we achieve unity?”
President Nelson then lists eight ways, based on 4 Nephi, to increase unity. By focusing on these areas in our lessons, testimonies, Sacrament Meeting talks, and ministering, we hope to increase unity in our ward.
