Tis the season to show others you care! As the Thanksgiving and Christmas season approach, we all look for ways to serve others and show them we care. Here’s a list of ideas for acts of service (some of them very small!) you can do right here in Rexburg.

Remember, it’s the little things that count. Elder M. Russell Ballard said “It is my humble prayer, brothers and sisters, that we will ask in our daily prayers for the inspiration to find someone for whom we can provide some meaningful service, including the service of sharing the gospel truths and our testimonies. At the end of each day, may we be able to say yes to the questions: “Have I done any good in the world today? Have I helped anyone in need?””
