When The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints put out a call for submissions for a new global hymnbook in June 2018<\/a>, it was not long after ministering took the place of visiting teaching and home teaching.<\/p>\n Ministering was announced during April 2018 general conference<\/a> as a newer, holier approach to caring and ministering to others.<\/p>\n Merrijane Rice and Jennette Jay Booth had met during a Church music festival and found that they worked really well together. Rice writes lyrics, and Booth composes music.<\/p>\n As they talked together about submitting a song or hymn to the new hymnbook, Rice said they felt that they should write a new children\u2019s song about ministering.<\/p>\n …<\/p>\n \u201cInstead of just talking about, \u2018Ministering is being kind and doing this and that,\u2019 Merrijane just made it completely about what Jesus does and that we can do it too,\u201d Booth said. \u201cI thought, \u2018Oh this is so beautifully perfect.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Often when Booth composes music, songs can take months. She will work on something and have to put it away and come back to it later.<\/p>\n \u201cBut this song, I sat down at the piano, and it just sort of flowed. It was more like remembering it almost instead of writing it,\u201d Booth said. \u201cIt really wrote itself.\u201d<\/p>\n The result was \u201cHow Did the Savior Minister?<\/a>\u201d and it was included in the latest batch released in September 2025<\/a> of new hymns for \u201cHymns \u2014 For Home and Church<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Visit the <\/a>Church News<\/a><\/i> to read more about the new song.<\/p>\n More articles for you:<\/i> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.ldsliving.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints put out a call for submissions for a new global hymnbook in June 2018, it was not long after ministering took the place of visiting teaching and home teaching.
