All children ages 3–11, their parents, and Primary leaders and teachers are invited to participate in a Friend to Friend worldwide event — a Face to Face-style event for children — available for viewing beginning February 20.
The historic, first-of-its-kind event from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will include music and activities as well as messages by President Russell M. Nelson, Elder Ulisses Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and members of the Primary General Presidency.
“I am so excited for the children to experience this very special Friend to Friend event,” said Primary General President Joy D. Jones. “I hope they will feel valued, needed and loved by Jesus and Heavenly Father. This will be a memorable opportunity to feel connected to other children around the world as they learn and sing together about how they can help like Jesus.”
