Uniting Families for Eternity
Through family history and temple ordinances, we extend the opportunity of
exaltation to God’s children on both sides of the veil. RootsTech and Family
Discovery Day are designed to encourage individuals and families to discover more
about their family history and be inspired to help unite families for eternity. Please
consider:

Sharing this information with Stake and Ward Councils, Ward Mission Leaders
and Missionaries, Ward Temple and Family History Leaders, Stake and Ward
Temple and Family History Consultants, Young Women Class Presidencies,
and Aaronic Priesthood Quorum Presidencies.
Announcing these events in Church meetings.
Encouraging ministering brothers and sisters to make personal invitations to
watch.
Looking for ways to incorporate messages shared at the events in your
quorums and classes throughout the year.
