In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints members of the local ward (or branch) are asked to speak during their Sunday Sacrament meeting services, including the youth. Members are usually asked by their bishopric (or branch presidency) to speak anywhere from 5-20 minutes, and are often assigned a topic.
This past Sunday when I was asked to speak, I was given a paper with some useful information regarding my talk which included a list of "Ten Tips for Terrific Talks." This list, written by John F. Cary, is from the December 1993 Ensign's "Random Sampler" section and is linked to from the Church's topic page, Prepare a Talk.
It's not always easy to speak in church, especially if it's your first time or if you're afraid of speaking. This list of ten tips gives excellent guidance in overcoming fear by being prepared, researching, and practicing.
Note: Visitors are always welcome to come worship with us during our Sunday services and other events, meetings, and activities.
