AP July: Ordinances and Covenants

“In the ordinances … the power of godliness is manifest” (D&C 84:20).

The outlines in this unit will help the young men understand the ordinances and covenants of the priesthood. The experiences they have in this unit can help them appreciate and honor the covenants they have already made and look forward to ordinances they will receive in the future, including ordination to the Melchizedek Priesthood and the ordinances of the temple. In addition, Aaronic Priesthood holders have a unique need to understand the ordinances of the gospel, because they are called to administer the ordinances of the sacrament, baptism, and ordaining others to offices in the Aaronic Priesthood.
