Church to Produce Television Special

Saints in the United States and Canada will have a great opportunity for missionary work as the Church produces an hour-long television special in November.

To be aired in evening “prime time” during National Family Week, which begins November 21, the program is designed to remind everyone of the importance of the family.

It is suggested that members invite their nonmember friends into their homes to view the show, which will feature leading Latter-day Saint actors and entertainers as well as some nonmember artists.

The program will be professionally produced in Los Angeles and will include Church “commercials” that invite viewers to write in for information on the Church and its belief in the family unit. Nonmembers desiring Latter-day Saints to call at their home to present material on the Church may so indicate when they request a special booklet that is being prepared. The booklet is based on material published in the family home evening manual.

Members will be informed about television channels and program times through wards and stakes, along with information on how members can be a part of this important step in Church and television history.
