Composer Michael R. Hicks created the “FSY Medley” by combining “As Sisters in Zion” (by Emily H. Woodmansee) and “We’ll Bring the World His Truth” (by Janice Kapp Perry). While serving as a counselor for Especially for Youth (EFY), he felt inspired to blend the two melodies into one powerful medley. The song, now known as the “FSY Medley,” is sung worldwide at youth conferences of #Michael#R.#Hicks #FSY #The ChurchofJesusChristof Latter-daySaints.

Church members across the U.S. are using their creative talents to serve others in meaningful ways. In Nevada, volunteers crochet octopuses for premature babies to help reduce stress in NICUs. In Utah, community members made wigs and beanies for children undergoing cancer treatment. In Arizona, women turned fabric scraps into quilts for refugees. In Texas, older women sewed heart-shaped pillows to comfort children recovering from heart surgery. These projects show how simple skills like sewing and crocheting can bring comfort, inclusion, and real help to those in need. #ThechurchofjesuschristofLatter-daysaints #charity #love #service
