Mutual Theme for 2019

Youth Theme 2019

The new mutual theme for 2019 will be “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). The announcement was made in a letter to bishops and stake young men/women presidencies.

The purpose of the yearly theme is to provide opportunities for youth worldwide to learn about,
study, internalize, and apply the principles taught in the scripture. Youth are encouraged to
memorize the scripture, study its doctrine, and act on the principles learned throughout the year.

In addition, the theme can be used in Mutual opening exercises, as a topic for sacrament
meeting talks given by youth, and to provide focus for youth activities—including camps, youth
conferences, and devotionals.

Resources—including videos, music, and suggestions for using the theme throughout the
year—will be available to leaders at youth.lds.org and in Church magazines at the end of 2018 and
throughout 2019. An email will be sent to leaders later this year when these resources become
available.
