The November 2026 devotional invites young adults to deepen their conversion to and faith in Jesus Christ, strengthen belonging, and respond to prophetic invitations. Messaging emphasizes spiritual growth, unity, and personal reflection.

Key Messaging Objectives

• Invite and remind the maximum number of young adults to watch.
• Gather with other young adults and friends to watch the Worldwide Devotional event.
• Inspire spiritual elevation and reflection.
• Strengthen feelings of belonging within a global young adult community.
• Deepen testimony of Jesus Christ.
• Encourage acting on prophetic invitations.
• Promote long-term participation in Church worship and service.
• Connect young adults with the devotional speaker, strengthening their testimony of prophets and apostles.
• Enable leaders to support and promote participation.
• Ensure global, inclusive access for all languages and geographies.

Support your coordinating council leadership to plan watch events with active young adult involvement. Engaging young adults directly in planning helps increase relevance, participation, and ownership.

The most effective invitations are often shared the day of the event in Church meetings and include a clear location and time where young adults will gather. Because many young adults live in family stakes, ensure invitations are communicated in those settings as well as in institute and seminary classes.

Suggested Invitations

Option 2

“All young adults ages 18–35, including high school seniors, are invited to a Worldwide Devotional with Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles at [insert time and location]. Invite a friend and join us for a special experience prepared just for you.”
