Mormons have a hard time identifying service that isn't (1) yard work or (2) baking (and if you need anything more, you're generally on your own). So a new article in the New Era is letting the youth know that there are new ways to offer new service!
https://www.lds.org/new-era/2017/03/service-you-didnt-think-was-service?lang=eng--Sharing a personal story in church
--Texting something nice to someone
--Cheering at sporting events (or music recitals, or engineering exhibits)
--Sharing your talents
--Watching your little brother's favorite TV show
--Sharing helpful tips with others
--Praying
It's like that verse from the Bible says, "Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee presenting thy engineering exhibit, and we cheered thee on? or cooking pasta, and we shared that if you add a little olive oil, it'll help it not stick together? or having some general malady, and we said a prayer? When saw we thee watching thy favorite TV show, and we came and watched it with thee?"
"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as we have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
But nothing requiring any real sacrifice or that requires you to get off the couch. Cause yard work's boring, ya'll.
