The Link

We proclaim Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope, love, and peace
Summer, 2023

As a prophetic people you are called, under the direction of the spiritual authorities and with the common
consent of the people, to discern the divine will for your own time and in the places where you serve.
Doctrine & Covenants 162:2c

The church has been asked to go through a process of prayer and sharing as the leadership of the church
prepares to discern who will be the next president after the retirement of President Veazey. This is a
request that we should not take lightly. As individuals and as congregations, I would urge you to be
intentional in your participation in this process.

Starting in March 2023, there are two-month cycles for the remainder of the year with the first month
being used for prayer about a question and the second month being a time of sharing with others and the
World Church about our responses to the question that we have prayerfully considered. Here is an
overview of this process.
 March (pray) & April (share) - God, where is your Spirit leading us next, as a worldwide church?
 May (pray) & June (share) - What are the most significant situations, opportunities, or challenges
that a prophetic leader will need to address?
 July (pray) & August (share) - What is God’s call for the worldwide church in this time?
 September (pray) & October (share) - What kind of leadership (qualities, style, competencies,
gifts, skills) is needed to respond to God’s call for the worldwide church at this time and into the
future?
 November - We hold leadership in prayer as we consider the call of God for our next prophet-
president, and for each of our lives as we shape the future together.
 December - What words of blessing and hope do you share for the worldwide church in this
important time of discernment for our future?
For a more complete view of the process, see the world church website or the document at
http://cmmccommunity.org/announcements.html that gives the information from the church website.

As a prophetic people discerning together,

who we become as we collectively discern is as important as whatever the outcome may be.
We pray that our intentional journey of prayer and discernment
will bear fruit in the life of the church for years to come.
