Attending church for the first time. Coming back to church after a period of inactivity. Going through the temple for the first time. Seeking to develop a love for the temple. These are all experiences that can feel daunting or overwhelming. But years ago,\\xa0a bishop\\xa0who had been through a period of inactivity himself sought to create what he called \\u201ca fear-free worship experience\\u201d for everyone in his congregation\\u2014and Elliott Smith says it made all the difference in their ward. So wherever you are on your journey along the covenant path, we invite you to consider how we can best help one another along by\\xa0also\\xa0seeking to\\xa0eliminate fear in our own congregations.
