Have this Sunday's lesson open to the Captain Moroni section and Alma 46 ready. Open with the banner question, run Raise the Standard Relay, and skip the Doctrine and Covenants 25:10 lists. Close by having someone read the "Live as a disciple of Christ" questions out loud, then invite each quorum member to choose one of Moroni's attributes to work on this week.

Sunday: Captain Moroni and the title of liberty

Before Sunday, open this Sunday's lesson in Gospel Library and read Alma 46:11–20 about Captain Moroni raising the title of liberty. Notice what he saw happening around him and what he did about it. As you read, think about this question: what problem around you might the Lord want you to help with?

Opening question

Have everyone open this Sunday's lesson in Gospel Library and scroll to the picture of Captain Moroni. Ask: "Think of a time you saw something wrong happening, at school, online, or with a friend, and had to decide whether to do anything. What made it hard to act?" Take two or three answers. Then say: "Captain Moroni faced that same choice with his whole nation at stake. Today we'll see what he did and what it shows about the kind of man the Lord wants each of us to become."

Raise the Standard Relay

Materials: Chalkboard or whiteboard, chalk or markers, Gospel Library on phones

1.This activity uses the lesson's question "How would you summarize his actions in Alma 46:11–20; 62:4?" Split the quorum into two teams, or into pairs if the group is small. Each team opens Alma 46:11–20 and Alma 62:4.
2.Draw a tall flagpole on each team's side of the board. Each time a team finds one action Moroni took (he tore his coat, wrote on it, prayed, bowed to the earth, went among the people waving it, gathered them to make a covenant), one player runs up, writes it as a short phrase on a rung of the pole, and hands off the chalk.
3.The first team whose pole reaches the top with accurate actions from the verses raises the flag. Have that team read their list out loud while the other team checks it against the scriptures.
4.Then ask both teams to add one action next to each of Moroni's that a young man could take today, at school, online, or at home.

Bring it back: Looking at the two lists side by side, what does Moroni's example show about how a covenant son of God responds when he sees something wrong around him?

Moroni's Quorum Council

Materials: Gospel Library on phones

1.This activity uses the lesson's question "What Christlike attributes do you see in Moroni?" Have someone read Alma 48:10 out loud and ask the quorum to say in their own words what "the cause of Christians" means.
2.Assign each person or pair a few verses from Alma 48:11–17. Give them two minutes to find one Christlike attribute in Moroni and one short phrase from the verses that shows it.
3.Run it like a quick council. Each pair stands and nominates their attribute for the quorum's banner, reads their phrase, and gives a single sentence on why a young man today needs it. The others may add a reason or challenge them to defend their choice, and the debate should be lively but kind.
4.After everyone has spoken, the quorum votes on the three attributes they most need, and the secretary or a volunteer writes them on the board as the quorum's own banner.

Bring it back: Which of these attributes do you feel the Lord inviting you to develop, and how would it help you do His work?

Teach this first

Captain Moroni raised a standard

Captain Moroni saw wickedness and division threatening his people, so he raised a written reminder of their faith, families, and freedom, and gathered the people to covenant with God. Open this Sunday's lesson to the Captain Moroni section, then open Alma 46 and have someone read Alma 46:12–13 out loud. Then have someone else read Alma 48:17, which says that if all men were like Moroni, the powers of hell would be shaken. Point out that Moroni's strength came from his faith in Jesus Christ and his covenants.

Ask the class

1.Moroni didn't wait for someone else to fix the problems around him. What makes it hard for young men to step forward, and what helped Moroni do it?
2.Alma 48:11–17 describes the kind of man Moroni was. Which part of that description do you think the Lord most wants you to become, and why?

Close

Open this Sunday's lesson to "Live as a disciple of Christ" and have someone read the two questions out loud. This week, choose one of Moroni's Christlike attributes from the quorum's banner, and do one specific thing to stand for the Savior's cause where you see a need, the way Moroni did.

Your witness: Share in a few sentences what Captain Moroni's example teaches you about being a covenant son of God, and how Jesus Christ has given you strength when you chose to stand for what is right.
