Melchizedek Priesthood Project


STEP 1: LEARNING
When the men receive the Melchizedek Priesthood, they enter into the oath and covenant of the priesthood.

Learn about the oath and covenant, read Doctrine and Covenants 84:33-44 and “Melchizedek Priesthood” in True to the Faith (pages 101-2). Then, with the help from your parents or leaders, plan a time when you can teach others what you have learned  (for example, YW meeting, sacrament meeting, or family home evening). Consider the following in your studies:

                Personal worthiness and testimony.

                Gospel knowledge.

                Christlike attributes.

                Work habits and physical health.

STEP 2: CREATE A PROJECT
Create a project that will apply what you’ve learned by do the following

                Read the entire Book of Mormon. In a journal, write what you learn from your study and write specific examples from your life that show how consistent scripture study gives you power to resist temptation.

Interview 2 Melchizedek Priesthood holders (such as your father or bishop in your ward) Ask them questions such as the following, and write their answers:

1.       What are the duties of an elder?

2.       What is the difference between having the authority of the priesthood and holding priesthood keys?

3.       What would you recommend I do to understand and help others prepare for the Melchizedek Priesthood?

4.       What experiences have you had in which you were able to serve others by exercising the Melchizedek Priesthood?

5.       How has holding the Melchizedek Priesthood blessed your life?       

6.       How do you perform the ordinances of the Melchizedek Priesthood (such as consecrating oil, administering to the sick, and bestowing the gift of the Holy Ghost)?

STEP 3: REPORT YOUR EXPERIENCES

Write in your Journal what you have learned from carrying out your project and how it has helped you understand the Melchizedek Priesthood. Present what you have learned to your family, Young Women, leaders or bishop.
