5 Simple Tips to Enhance Your General Conference Experience
General Conference is just around the corner and for many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it’s an exciting time to receive spiritual guidance and insight from church leaders. As we prepare for this special event, there are some easy steps we can take to enhance our General Conference experience.
1. Get Organized with a Note-Taking System
One of the best ways to stay focused during General Conference is by taking notes. Whether you prefer using a physical notebook or an electronic device, it’s essential to have a system in place before the conference begins. To avoid scrambling at the last minute, start organizing your note-taking materials now. You can find free templates and resources online, or you can create your own. Pinterest is an excellent resource for finding ideas and inspiration. By preparing your note-taking system in advance, you’ll be able to stay more engaged during the sessions and remember the insights and inspiration you receive.
2. Keep Children Engaged with Fun Activities
For parents with young children, it can be challenging to keep them engaged during General Conference. However, with some planning and creativity, it’s possible to make the experience enjoyable for the whole family. You can find a variety of kid-friendly General Conference activities and ideas online, including games, crafts, and coloring pages. By involving your children in these fun activities, you’ll be able to help them feel the spirit of the conference and develop a love for General Conference.
3. Plan Food and Snacks Early
For many families, General Conference weekend is a time for food and fellowship. If you plan on making some delicious meals or snacks during the conference, it’s essential to plan ahead and purchase all the ingredients you’ll need. By preparing some meals or snacks in advance, you will have more time to focus on the conference itself.
4. Create a General Conference Playlist
For all of our music learners, create a General Conference playlist or select some uplifting music to play during breaks. Music can help keep the spirit of the conference alive in your home and help you stay focused during the sessions.
5. Set Goals and Prepare Spiritually
Take some time before the conference to set personal goals and prepare spiritually. By setting specific goals, you’ll be able to focus on the areas of your life that need the most attention and help you receive personal revelation during the conference. Write down your questions and pray to receive the answers you are seeking.
General Conference is an excellent opportunity to receive inspiration and guidance from church leaders. By taking these simple steps to prepare, you’ll be able to have a more meaningful and enjoyable experience during the conference. So, take some time to get organized, plan for fun activities, and stock up on food and snacks. And remember to set personal goals and prepare spiritually to make the most out of this special weekend.
