Bicentennial Proclamation
Instructions: Below is “The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ: A
Bicentennial Proclamation to the World.” Read it individually or together, highlight things that
stand out, and discuss them as a family.
We solemnly proclaim that God loves His
children in every nation of the world. God the
Father has given us the divine birth, the
incomparable life, and the infinite atoning
sacrifice of His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. By the
power of the Father, Jesus rose again and gained
the victory over death. He is our Savior, our
Exemplar, and our Redeemer.
Two hundred years ago, on a beautiful spring
morning in 1820, young Joseph Smith, seeking to
know which church to join, went into the woods
to pray near his home in upstate New York, USA.
He had questions regarding the salvation of his
soul and trusted that God would direct him.
In humility, we declare that in answer to his
prayer, God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ,
appeared to Joseph and inaugurated the
“restitution of all things” (Acts 3:21) as foretold
in the Bible. In this vision, he learned that
following the death of the original Apostles,
Christ’s New Testament Church was lost from the
earth. Joseph would be instrumental in its return.
We affirm that under the direction of the Father
and the Son, heavenly messengers came to
instruct Joseph and re-establish the Church of
Jesus Christ. The resurrected John the Baptist
restored the authority to baptize by immersion for
the remission of sins. Three of the original twelve
Apostles—Peter, James, and John—restored the
apostleship and keys of priesthood authority.
Others came as well, including Elijah, who
restored the authority to join families together
forever in eternal relationships that transcend
death.
We further witness that Joseph Smith was given
the gift and power of God to translate an ancient
record: the Book of Mormon—Another
Testament of Jesus Christ. Pages of this sacred
text include an account of the personal ministry
of Jesus Christ among people in the Western
Hemisphere soon after His Resurrection. It
teaches of life’s purpose and explains the doctrine
of Christ, which is central to that purpose. As a
companion scripture to the Bible, the Book of
Mormon testifies that all human beings are sons
and daughters of a loving Father in Heaven, that
He has a divine plan for our lives, and that His
Son, Jesus Christ, speaks today as well as in days
of old.
We declare that The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, organized on April 6, 1830, is
Christ’s New Testament Church restored. This
Church is anchored in the perfect life of its chief
cornerstone, Jesus Christ, and in His infinite
Atonement and literal Resurrection. Jesus Christ
has once again called Apostles and has given
them priesthood authority. He invites all of us to
come unto Him and His Church, to receive the
Holy Ghost, the ordinances of salvation, and to
gain enduring joy.
Two hundred years have now elapsed since this
Restoration was initiated by God the Father and
His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Millions
throughout the world have embraced a knowledge
of these prophesied events.
We gladly declare that the promised Restoration
goes forward through continuing revelation. The
earth will never again be the same, as God will
“gather together in one all things in Christ”
(Ephesians 1:10).
With reverence and gratitude, we as His Apostles
invite all to know—as we do—that the heavens
are open. We affirm that God is making known
His will for His beloved sons and daughters. We
testify that those who prayerfully study the
message of the Restoration and act in faith will be
blessed to gain their own witness of its divinity
and of its purpose to prepare the world for the
promised Second Coming of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ.

How much should I pay?
In 3 Nephi, Jesus quotes Malachi. Malachi taught about the importance of tithing and the blessings that we
will receive when we pay our tithing. Malachi said, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there
may be meat in my house; and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the
windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
Instructions: Tithing is 10% of our income. Below are several different amounts of money that we earned.
Circle the correct amount of coins to show how much tithing you would pay for that amount.
$1.00
$5.00

provided to get you started. If you have an actual picture of them, you can use that or you can
