Young Women Shine!

Thanks to our Young Women who conducted our Relief Society on Sunday.  They are surely having a learning experience as they participate with us each Fast Sunday.  We appreciate all their efforts to join us and share their spirit with us. 

We appreciate all who took time to sign the cards for our little Cole.  He is out of intensive care and doing a little better each day.  We send our love and best wishes to the Flannigan Family.

Thanks to all those who attended our Evening Relief Society Meeting last week.  A lot of work went into making it a wonderful time for everyone.  (We appreciate you Elaine and Judy).  There were so many wonderful and yummy cookies.  Thank you ladies for sharing with us.  Sorry that the stockings did not arrive in time, but you will be getting those sometime soon.  The potato bar was delicious and everyone enjoyed a wonderful bonding time together.

WELCOME Sister Deb!  We were so glad to see you back among us on Sunday.  You looked so good.  We certainly send our best wishes to you as you continue to get better.  May the Lord's healing hand be with you in your journey to recovery.

ANNOUCEMENTS:

The WARD CHRISTMAS PARTY is on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.  Everyone plan to attend and enjoy the spirit of the season with all your ward family. 

There won't be any YM/YW this week because of the ward party.

The Special Sisters Luncheon will be held on Tuesday, the 14th, in the 4th-5th Cultural Hall.  (11:30 a.m.)  It's sure to be a treat for all who attend.

The Young Women are asked to bring items for the Missionary Boxes next Wednesday, the 15th.  They will be getting them ready for the mail.  A list of suggested items was given to the girls last week.

There are some items from the Young Women's Night of Excellence in the Young Women's room for those who did not attend.

Remember that items for the Bishop's Christmas can be dropped off at the D.I. and would be much appreciated.  You may drop off until December 24.  They are need of new toys, quilts, and items for teenagers.

For those with food from the Food Storage Canning Day, please pick that up from the Cultural Hall.

LESSON:

Thanks to Sister Jill Schill for a wonderul Christmas Lesson.  It was one that we all enjoyed so very much.  The Spirit was felt by each of us in the room as sisters shared wonderful stories of special Christmas's that have touched their lives.  
"We all enjoy giving and receiving presents.  But there is a difference between presents and gifts.  The true gifts may be part of ourselves -- giving of the riches of the heart and mind -- and, therefore, more enduring and of far greater worth than presents bought at the store."  (James E. Faust)
Sister Schill encouraged us to take a page from President Hunter's thoughts about the gifts that truly come from our hearts:
"This Christmas, mend a quarrel.  Seek out a forgotten friend.  Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust.  Write a letter.  Give a soft answer.  Encourage youth.  Manifest your loyalty in word and deed.  Keep a promise.  Forgo a grudge.  Forgive an enemy.  Apologize.  Try to understand.  Examine your demainds on others.  Think first of someone else.  Be kind.  Be gentle.  Laugh a little more.  Express your gratitude.  Welcome a stranger.  Gladden the heart of a child.  Take pleaseure in the beauty of wonder of the earth.  Speak your love and then speak it again."  (President Howard W. Hunter)
May we all endeavor to do so!

DON'T FORGET!

OK, Sisters, let's not forget about our Evening Relief Society Meeting this week (November 30).  The time has been changed to 7:00 p.m. so everyone please put it on your schedule and plan to attend.  Don't forget to bring three dozen of your favorite cookies (with recipe) to share with everyone.  We will also be served from a yummy potato bar.  The Christmas Stockings for Jesus will be made if the fabric arrives.  The shipment has been delayed, but we are hoping for a miracle.  If it does not arrive, another time will be arranged for.  It's sure to be a super evening.  Don't miss it!

ANNOUCEMENTS:

Sister Deb Fitzwater is at her mom's recovering from her hospital stay in Salt Lake.   She is feeling better, but unable to have visitors at this time.  Take a moment of your time to give her a jingle . . . phone calls are more than welcome.

D.I. donations are still being accepted for new items for the Bishop's Christmas.  Let's all feel the 'spirit of the season'.

Pack Meeting has been postponed until Thursday, December 14.

GOOD NEWS MINUTES:

Sister Cindy Cluett was able to meet family members that they had become acquainted with through the New Family Search program and were able to do the temple work for some of their ancestors.

Bishop and Sister Jill were able to fly to Washington D.C.  to receive an award for their son, Rob.  He was awarded a valor award but was unable to be there to receive it due to some training he was in.

Pam and her husband, Wayne, were host to nearly 40 family members for Thanksgiving Dinner.  It was a marvelous occasion for them.

LESSON:

"Because of Your Faith" by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland was the title of our lesson this week.  It was given by Sister Joan Platt and is recorded on page 6 of the November Ensign.  It was an expression of gratitude to all in the church: 
"I have struggled to find an adequate way to tell you how loved of God you are and how grateful we on this stand are for you.  I am trying to be voice for the very angels of heaven in thanking you for every good thing you have ever done, for every kind word you have ever said, for every sacrifice you have ever made in extending to someone -- to anyone -- the beauty and blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ."
" . . . No one of you is insignificant, in part because you make the gospel of Jesus Christ what it is -- a living reminder of His grace and mercy, a private but powerful manifestation in small villages and large cities of the good He did and the life He gave bringing peace and salvation to other people.  We are honored beyond expression to be counted one with you in such a sacred cause."
If you have not had time to read this message for yourself, we encourage you to do so.  It is a splendid message.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Can you believe that it's Thanksgiving already?  Wow!  Time has a way of slipping right away from us if we're not careful, doesn't it?  Here's hoping you have a great week with your family and friends.  Happy Thanksgiving!

We are grateful for our Relief Society Presidency (Marilyn, Deb, Cindy, and Amy) and all they do for us in our ward.  Their work is never done, that's for sure.  Thank you, Sisters!

We send our get-well wishes to Sister Deb Fitzwater who in the University of Utah Medical Center.  We miss her bright and shining spirit.  She is undergoing treatments and will be back among us in a couple of days.  We hope that you all got to sign the cards for her that went around yesterday.

Thank you to all of you who helped with the luncheon on Saturday for the Tullis family.  Your compassionate service is so appreciated.

Thanks to Sisters Lanita Tullis and Pam Peterson for 'minute-men' substitutions with our music.  They did a fantastic job!  Pam shared her good-news minute with us:  Kyle and Dana were here with their little ones for a holiday visit.  It's good to see them again.

ANNOUNCMENTS:

Thanks to all those who have been so diligent in helping with the quilts for the Bishop's Christmas at the D.I.  They look so wonderful, and we can tell that many long hours have gone in to getting them finished up. 

The D.I. is still seeking new toys for their Christmas Drive.  If anyone is interested in helping out they can drop off their donation during store hours in Cedar City.  They will be accepting items from November 26 until December 22.  They are especially in need of items for teenagers (13-16).  Let us share with those who need a helping hand.

Habitat for Humanity is also seeking donations of building materials, appliances and furniture (new or nearly new). 

Plan now to attend our Relief Society Meeting on November 30 at 7:00 p.m.  (Please note the change in time).  We are having a cookie exchange so are asking each one to bring three dozen cookies to share along with the recipe.  We will also be making a 'stocking for Jesus'.  The cost will be approximately $5.  This could be a wonderful Family Home Evening idea for you to share with your family.  We are certainly looking forward to feasting at the yummy Potato Bar!  Don't miss out, put it on your calendar NOW!

LESSON:

We had a wonderful lesson on the "Gift of the Holy Ghost" given by Sister Bea Gubler.  This gift is given to us after our bapitsm and confirmation.  It is truly a blessing to us throughout our lives.  All too often we can take this gift for granted, not realizing the blessings it brings to us in our daily lives.  It is one of God's greatest gifts to us.

"The Holy Ghost usually communicates with us quietly.  His influence is often referred to as a "still small voice". . . President Boyd K. Packer explained:  'The Holy Ghost speaks with a voice that you feel more than you hear. . . This voice of the Spirit speaks gently, promtping you what to do or what to say, or it may caution or warn you'."

It is always good for us to hear of these great blessings of the gospel.  If you were not able to meet with us on Sunday, please read Chapter 21 in our manual.

The Rush Goes On!

Well, Sisters, I offer my apologies one more time!  One month is a bit long to be so slothful.  Apologies to all the sisters who had birthdays I missed . . . to all the class leaders who gave wonderful lessons I failed to acknowledge . . . and to all the great events I failed to cover.  So-o-o sorry!

I asked our Presidency to take notes yesterday, as I have been away visiting other wards for two weeks.  I did have a marvelous time attending other Relief Societies, but always miss my association with the sisters in our ward.

ANNOUCEMENTS:

The Humanitarian Work Room will be closing on the 18th.  If you have projects that you cannot complete before that time or need to pick up additional projects, please contact Sister VanHouten (878-2263) and she will try to accomodate you. 

Brother Bracken is in need of two or three more people to donate blood.  Contact him if you are willing and need more info.

Sister Judy Wood gave details of our upcoming Relief Society Activity to be held on November 30.  We will be having a cookie exchange.  Please bring three dozen of your favorite cookies and the recipes to go with.  There will be a potato bar with all the yummy fixin's.  We will also have Christmas stockings to represent our gifts to Jesus.  We will write our family and personal goals and keep them in the stocking until next year.  When we pull them out, it will be interesting to see our progress and the changes we have made.

This is the last week to order chocolate drink mix and oats.  If you are interested in either, please contact Lynn Lindsay (439-5672).

LESSON:

Sister Christy Gardner taught our lesson on Baptism.  We are grateful to have her as one of our newer teachers and appreciate the time she spends in preparation to lead us. 

We know that we have been commanded to be baptized and it is through that baptism that we receive a remission for our sins, become members of the church, are able to receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and take that first step on the path to the Celestial Kingdom. 

The gospel plan is such a blessing in our lives!  We are so grateful to have an understanding of the principles and ordinances that will help us return to our Heavenly Father.  The covenants we make at baptism deeply affects us and truly gives us a 'new beginning' for the rest of our lives.  May we live true to those covenants!

Welcome Young Women!

Our Relief Society on Sunday was strengthened by all of our Young Women and their leaders.  Thanks to Britney Bosshardt who conducted.  She did a marvelous job and has such a happy personality.  The prayer and theme were given by the Young Women as well.  The announcements included:  Personal Progress on Wednesday night at 7:00, please bring your Personal Progress Book and Journal; Deer Camp Fireside is next week with special guest Dan Webster, a Viet Nam veteran; Temple Baptisms are scheduled for October 30, the girls will need to have their recommend interviews with the Bishop.  Birthdays for the Young Women included:  Maddie Laub and Sherri Platt.  Sherri was welcomed into the Young Woman as their newest Beehive.   Congratulations, girls!   The Young Women were then excused to attend their classes.

RELIEF SOCIETY ANNOUNCEMENTS:

THANKS to all who helped with meals and luncheon food for the Dupass Family.  They are appreciative of the support they have received.  Let us continue to show our love and extend our hand in their support as the days go by.  Please note that an account has been opened at Zions Bank under 'Jessica Dupass' for anyone wishing to contribute to help them with expenses incurred.

The SPECIAL SISTERS LUNCHEON will be held on the 19th at the 4th-5th Ward Building.  Beginning time is set for 11:30 a.m. and you are asked to bring a bag with three items that tells something about yourself.  Sound like great fun!  The 1st Ward is hosting this event for anyone interested in attending.

The FOURTH SUNDAY LESSON will be on Page 87 of the May Ensign, President Monson's talk entitled "He Is Risen".

GOOD NEWS MINUTES:

Sister Lavona Dickinson had friends visiting this week:  Linda and Sarah Wynstock.

Sister Leann Riquelme has found her roaster pan that has been missing since she furnished food for a funeral luncheon.  Sisters, please check in the kitchen for any dishes that could be yours.  Also, check for any you may have at home that may not be yours and return them.

LESSON:

Sister Mary Sanger gave a wonderful lesson entitled 'Faith in Jesus Christ'.  She explained that faith is like a tiny seed that grows with each of the things we do: prayer, study scriptures, listen to conference talks, live obediently etc.  Learning to listen to the promptings of the Spirit helps us to increase our faith.  "If we don't know the Holy Ghost, we won't know the Savior".  She described the cycle that we go through to increase our faith:
                                                        
                                         Faith
                                         Obedience
                                         Tribulation
                                         Knowledge of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ

As we go through this cycle and are faithful we can rise to the next level of living the gospel.  It helps to form our character.

"Through the gift of faith, miracles are wrought, angles appear, other gifts are given, prayers are answered, and men become the sons of God."  (See Moroni 7:25-26, 36-37)

Thank you, Mary, for a wonderful lesson.  You were a GREAT substitute for Sister Christy.

Graveside Services

Graveside services for our sweet little Dupass baby will be held on Saturday, October 9, at the Cedar City Cemetery at 2:00 p.m.  In lieu of flowers, a donation at Zions Bank would be much appreciated to help with funeral costs.  May the Lord's comforting spirit abide with this special family in our ward.

Sympathy to the Dupass Family

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Josh and Jessica Dupass as they lost their baby boy this week.  We send our love to them and encourage each sister to reach out to this wonderful family and share with them the love from our ward.  A graveside service will be held on Saturday in Cedar City.  When we receive additional information as to time, we will post it.

Thursday, September 30, 2010

We had yet another wonderful Relief Society Meeting on Sunday.  Still feeling the spirit from our annual General Relief Society Meeting broadcast from Salt Lake, we were truly fed this morning.  We are grateful that we have the opportunity to be guided and uplifted by members of our General Presidency and our Prophet.  We were given such wonderful messages and motivation to improve our daily lives, if we will but heed their council.  For those of you who did not attend the broadcast or missed the re-broadcast, please go to lds.org and watch the proceedings.  You'll be glad you did!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

A sign-up sheet was passed around for those sisters desiring to play any kind of sport. If you missed the sign-up, please contact Sister Ilene Holt at 878-2440. 

There will be no meetings at the ward next Sunday as it is General Conference.  Please take advantage of the opportunity to listen on Saturday and Sunday, sessions at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Fast Sunday will be the 10th of October.

Penny's-By-The-Inch envelopes are being distributed.  Please take one and feel free to contribute to this worthy cause.  Return your envelope to Sister Randi Platt in the Primary.

GOOD NEWS MINUTES:

Sister Norma wanted to thank Steve, Deb and all their family for helping with her yard work.  She was so grateful and appreciative of their wonderful service.

Sister Mary Sanger announced that they had found a new place for the winter.  They are staying on the Colby and Rusty Hunt property in New Castle.  Glad to have you in town Mary.

Sister Dickinson had her daughter and granddaughter visiting this week.  Isn't it always such fun to have our family around us?

Elaine Schriver announced that her nephew's baby, Cash, is recovering nicely (90%) from his bout with cancer.

Rebecca Ayala had her sister Emily visiting this week also.  It's always good to see our old ward members return!

LESSON:

Sister Deb Christensen so wonderfully taught us the principle of patience.  Her lesson was taken from the conference talk by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf (May Ensign, pg. 56).

"The lessons we learn from patience will cultivate our character, lift our lives, and heighten our happiness."

"Patience is far more than simply waiting for something to happen--patience (requires) actively working toward worthwhile goals and not getting discouraged when results (don't) appear instantly or without effort."  We need to remember that things happen in "the Lord's way and time." 

"Patience is a godly attribute that can heal souls, unlock treasures of knowledge and understanding, and transform ordinary men and women into saints and angels.  Patience is truly a fruit of the spirit."

Please take a moment to read this wonderful message from President Uchtdorf if you have not read it.  If you have, it's worth a repeat.

Great Relief Society Meeting!

Whether you attended our meeting on Sunday or our meeting during the week, you were blessed by having been there. 

Sister Marilyn Tullis expressed gratitude to those who so willingly put together our meeting last week:  Elaine, Judy, and TiAnna.  She remarked with a twinkle and a smile "Oh, you should feel so guilty!" to those who did not attend.

Announcements:

GENERAL RELIEF SOCIETY MEETING will be held this coming Saturday, September 25 at the Stake Center in Enterprise.  A dinner will be served at 5:00 p.m. prior to the Broadcast at 6:00 p.m.  This is a special event held once a year prior to our October General Conference for all sisters 18 years old and older.  It is our time to receive the very most pertinent instruction for us as women in the church.  Please invite your family, neighbors and friends to join with us.

ALLIANCE FOR UNITY FOOD DRIVE, September 25, 2010.  The First Presidency has "invited us to join with others in donating non-perishable food items to the Utah Food Bank or local hunger relief agencies . . . high protein items such as canned meats or fish, chili or peanut butter are especially appreciated."  Please fill any box or bag and return it to the ward next Sunday, or it may be taken to the Beryl Junction Pantry at the Community Building.

Good News Minutes:

Sister Lynda Laub told us that she would be leaving for a trip to West Virginia with her mother. Enjoy, Sister Lynda!

Sister Terry Petersen had her daughter, Alicia, and six-month old granddaughter visiting with her.  What a proud Grandma!

Sister Eva Martin was privileged to attend the temple on Saturday and take our her endowments.  Congratulations!

Sister Deb Fitzwater had her mother, daughter-in-law, Portia and baby Knox visiting as well.  What fun!

Our lesson was given by Sister Bea Gubler.  She taught us of the great and marvelous blessings that come to us through the Restoration. Authority from God was once again restored to the earth, bringing the organization of the Church to us.  Many important truths have been restored bringing light to our lives.  She shared her touching testimony with us as she closed her lesson.  We were indeed filled with the light she radiated.

For those of you who missed our meeting last week, we're sorry you didn't make it.  We had a wonderful experience!  The theme was "Miracle From Heaven" taken from a video presentation by the same name.  Brother John Carson shared his conversion story with us, and we felt the spirit as he told of his experiences since moving to our ward.  He certainly shared a wonderful testimony with us, and we were touched by his experiences.

At the conclusion of Brother Carson's remarks, we viewed another video entitled, "Never a Better Hero".  (Fantastic Music with touching scenes from the Savior's life).  Sister Deb Christensen then shared her emotional testimony of her experience reading 'Jesus The Christ' and the impact that it has had on her life.  We could all take a page from her book as she has set a wonderful example for all of us. 

At the conclusion of the evening, the video presentation of "His Hands" was viewed.  It brought many feelings and emotions to the surface and everyone felt they had been deeply rewarded for having attended such a special evening.










The fruit and veggie bar was a hit.  It all tasted so good and was a refreshing treat enjoyed by everyone.  We were encouraged to take paper hands that had been placed on the tables as a reminder that we are indeed 'His Hands' and to use them in service to our fellowmen.

 
Thanks to these three great ladies, we had a wonderful meeting!
TiAnna, Elaine, and Judy

Don't Miss Our Tuesday Relief Society Meeting!

Sunday was another wonderful morning within the walls of the Relief Society Room.  The sisterhood that resides there is amazing!  For those of you who are serving in other auxiliaries, we miss you, but know that your service is so needed where you are.  We hope that you will be able to join us for those meetings and activities that do not conflict with your present callings.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We've been looking forward to our next get-together.  Coming TONIGHT is our Relief Society Meeting at 7:00 p.m.  Our instructions are to come prepared to be spiritually fed.  There will be a light refreshment and the dress is nice casual.

Sister Lynn Lindsey announced that she was having a taster's table after meetings on Sunday.  We hope you went passed the kitchen on your way out to test the 'new' product that she's found.  It tasted surprisingly good!  It comes from Australia and is, believe it or not . . . canned cheese.  The order blank is on the front sign-up table.

It's only ten days away!  We've been waiting all year for another chance to be taught by our Relief Society leaders and are so grateful that we have that opportunity once a year.  Sister Beck, her counselors, and a member of the First Presidency will instruct us on Saturday, September 25.  The Stake Relief Society is providing a light dinner at 5:00 p.m. prior to the broadcast at 6:00p.m.  We hope everyone will take the opportunity to attend this special evening with us. 

There will be a memorial service for Tom Chittendon (sp) on the afternoon of the 25th on the "pond" property in Iron Town.  For further information, please contact Brother Wayne Murray or Sister Joan Gibbons.

GOOD NEW MINUTES:
Sister Cindy Cluett was excited to announce that she was able to test out of one of her classes.  That means she was 'smart' enough to pass the test, thereby, does not have to take the class.  GO, CINDY!

Sister Sanger announced that they have found some property on 2400 North that was a good place for them to put their trailer.  That means she will be staying in our ward.  What great news!

Lynn and Marilyn are both excited to have Hunter baptized next week.  Congratulations to Hunter and the GRANDMA'S!

Our little Sister Missionary who has been staying with the Gardner Family received news that she is now in good enough health to be able to return to her full-time mission in California.  We're so grateful for her good news, but will miss her in our presence.

Sister Marilyn was so thankful and excited for the opportunity to talk to her son who is stationed in Iraq.  It was a great moment for her!

SUNDAY LESSON:
Since there has been many changes in callings in our ward, Sister Carma Beacham was taken to the Primary, leaving a teaching vacancy.  We were pleased to be taught by Sister Karen Humphries on Sunday.  She certainly gave 'new light' to an old subject.  It was a great lesson, taught by the spirit, and helped us to realize that we do indeed have the same organization that existed in the primitive church.  She addressed six things that help to identify the Church of Jesus Christ:  Revelation, Authority From God, The Church Organization, The First Principles and Ordinances, Ordinances Performed for the Dead, and Spiritual Gifts. 

She discussed the Apostasy and helped us to realize that we cannot comprehend what it would have been like to live without the Gospel in our lives.  The Dark Ages were a reality to many, and we are so blessed to be born at a time when the Light of the Gospel is in it's fullness upon the earth.  Let us soak in all that 'light' we can.

Stay tuned for a report and photos of our meeting tonight!

Another Catch Up!

     So-o-o-o sorry about last week's failure to post.  It was one of those weeks when there was more to get done than there was week to do it in.  Here's a little catch-up:  We want to express our sympathy to Sister Bea Gubler and her family as they mourn the loss of her husband, Ted.  May we take a moment to make a visit to help ease some of the loneliness.  Sister Kiyla Hulet gave birth to a 7 pound 14 ounce baby boy.  They are going to name him Colby Coy.

     Congratulations are in order for the new Young Women's Presidency:  Sister Cheri Hulet was sustained as President, with Jessica Christensen and Cindy Steele as her counselors and Leah Jane Laub as Secretary.  A big THANK YOU to Sister Christy Gardner and those who served with her in the Young Women.  What a great job they all did.  We will be so glad to welcome you back among us in the Relief Society! This past Sunday assistants were sustained:  Laura Hughes, Beehive Assistant; Shari Reber, Mia Maid Assistant; and Stacy Gardner as Laurel Assistant.  Other sustainings consisted of:  Jim Tullis as a Sunday School Teacher; Jeremy Gardner as a Sunday School Teacher; Kelly Gardner as the Ward Chorister; and Lanita Tullis as the Relief Society Chorister.

     Our meeting on Sunday was a wonderful experience for all who where there.  The Young Women were visiting our opening exercises along with their Stake Leaders.  Some GOOD NEWS Minutes were shared by several.  Here's a short summary: 
          ~Sister Terry Peterson made comment to the young women on how lovely they are and how great it is to see them in proper dress.  She had visited LA Temple for a family wedding and felt that there were many dressed inappropriately.  She said it was so good to come home and find our young women looking their finest.  Way to go girls!
          ~Sister Lynn Lindsey reported on the status of her husband.  He is home and doing well.  He has no pain, but still finds himself tiring very easily.
          ~Sister Lynda Laub reported that her daughter Shara now had a job, actually two.  She is training at the D.I. and also working at Wendy's.
          ~Sister Pam Peterson had her daughter Chelsea here so she could travel to New Mexico with them to visit Kyle, Dana and the kids.
          ~Sister Bea Gubler expressed her love and appreciation to all the sisters who helped in any way this past week.
          ~Sister Cindy Cluett was excused as she traveled to SLC to say farewell to her adopted son who was leaving for Afghanistan.

     Our wonderful President, Sister Marilyn Tullis, instructed us on strengthening our homes and families.  Strengthening our family is one calling we are never released from.  In our routine lives, we often take our families for granted.  Each family member should know that they are loved for their individual worth and that home is a safe harbor.  President Hinckley was quoted, "The strength of any nation is rooted within the walls of our homes."  She had prepared a laminated "Family Proclamation to the World" (scripture-size) for each of the sisters in the ward.  If you were not there and your visiting teachers have not brought you a copy, please contact Sister Tullis.

     COMING EVENTS THIS WEEK:  We have been invited to the 1st Ward in Enterprise (Stake Center) for a Relief Society Meeting on Wednesday, September 8 at 1:00 p.m.  They will be testing pressure canner lids, plus a class on bottling oranges and grapefruits, also the best way to freeze fruits and vegetables.

     Keep your eye open for our next Relief Society Meeting which will be held on Tuesday, September 14 at 7:00 p.m.   Sister Elaine Schriver will announce details very soon so mark it on your calendar.

On Line Again . . .

     Welcome Back!  We're on-line again.  Since Sister Randi Platt was called to be the new Primary President, we have been on a little vacation.  It is our hope that this blog will be a source of information to you as a Relief Society sister and that it will help to keep you updated on the latest happenings.
     On Sunday we were privileged to be taught a great lesson by Sister Stacy Gardner on the ATONEMENT.  Her enthusiasm for her material was evident as she explained how we can truly make our Saviors love work for us in our individual lives. 
     We express our deepest sympathy to Sister Lanita Tullis and her family with the passing of her mother, Sister Leda Jolley Young Dowdle.  What a great influence she played in so many of our lives as children!  Our memories of our elementary school years would not be complete without thinking of her in our midst.
     Our best wishes for a speedy recovery go out to Sister Lindsey's husband, Bill, after having hip surgery last week.  We wish him well and hope that he will be back among us soon.

     A few items of interest for the coming week:
 
             Tuesday, 24th, Women's Softball at the Stake Center
             Thursday, 26th, WARD PARTY, 6:00 at the Church, Bring a Friend
             Saturday, 28th, Orchard Assignment, 6:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.  This is a
                 peach-picking assignment which will require many more volunteers
                 than we have at present.  Please note that this is an early morning
                 assignment so that it won't affect the rest of your day!  Our ward
                 has been so great to pull through on these assignments.  Let's not
                 fail now!

          This is a learning experience in blogging and hopefully, as time goes on, we'll get the hang of it.  Be patient and we'll give it our best!  I am open to suggestions and corrections.  Please let me know of any items that could be addressed.

A Few Random Things...

First I'm going to rant because now that I'm not in charge anymore I CAN!! :) We, as in the Younger Sisters in our Ward, have got to start getting ourselves to RS Meeting! I have said it before, I was not a regular RS goer, in fact I never went until I was asked to assist Leah Jane. I know as well as anyone how hard it is to drag yourself to one more thing, but RS is the one thing that feeds your soul and gives you the spiritual boost you need! I know I don't feel refreshed or uplifted after I have drug myself to one more thing in my already busy life, but RS Meeting is the exception! If I can make it, ANYONE can make it! Let's use last night as an example, Warren was leaving for California, Kylan and Kylee were out doing chores and in the time I ran to go get my Babysitter, Warren had met up with the kids some how and VANISHED!! He didn't have his phone with him, I had no idea where they had gone, Kirby knew what was up and that I was leaving and was having NONE of it! So I had a screaming baby, two lost kids, and a Husband that I couldn't find and was not going to be able to say goodbye to and left my house feeling like I was scattered in a million different directions! I won't even go into what the last few weeks have been like not to mention the last few days! Warren is rarely home to keep the kids, and when he is home, the last thing I want to do is leave when I don't see him very much as it is, but I am ALWAYS so glad I worked it into my schedule and made it a priority, it is where we SHOULD be! Stop making excuses and get to RS Meeting!!

The other thing is THIS BLOG!! What will happen to it? One idea that I had was we could turn it into a "Ward" blog where all the Presidencies could post about whatever they wanted to.... I guess we'll have to see who will be the new RS Coordinator and if she wants to keep the blog going, I hope someone will, now that I'll be out of the Loop I want somewhere to go to stay informed of all that is going on!! :)

Visiting Teaching Conference 2010 Cont.

Ok, the next time you hear "Marsha Reaves is in charge of the food," you better sit up and pay attention because you WILL want to be there! What a Talented Lady! I want to THANK her for putting so much time and talent into our meal! Everything was so well done and not to mention DELICIOUS!!!! Let me just show you some pics....



If I could only describe this cheese ball to you! Marsha put one of these on each table, it was not only the Yummiest thing I have ever tasted, they were SO PRETTY!! It's a good thing I had to keep standing up during the program or I could have sat there and eaten the whole thing!! WOW!!



Then there were these little pieces of heaven! Marsha called these a cream puff, all I know is that they were SO TASTY! They were little Chicken Sandwiches unlike any I have ever tasted, and by far the best I have ever had! I NEED this recipe!!!



The food was almost to pretty to eat.... the key word here is almost!



For Dessert we she did a fruit salad and we had this amazingly moist pound cake with a fruit topping and home made cream to go on top! Marsha made absolutely EVERYTHING by hand! There was no "Cool Whip" here ladies, she went above and beyond her call of duty! Oh, and of course sliced almonds to top it all off!



I want to again THANK all of those that helped with everything! We have some AMAZINGLY Talented Sisters that make our Ward GREAT!! Thanks!!

Visiting Teaching Conference 2010


Shirley Hart was our Speaker and she did such a great job! She talked about the importance of Visiting Teaching and touched a little on the History of our Relief Society. She told some good stories about NewCastle and I could have listened for hours! Thanks Shirley you truly are someone we all look up and admire!



Carma, Shirley, Bea, Katherine, Norma, Ellen and ReVoe (not pictured) are the Amazing Sisters that we spotlighted and have been faithful Visiting Teachers for over 50 Years!! I just Love these Sisters, I enjoyed hearing about each of them and want to give them a HUGE THANKS from all of us!

Visiting Teaching Conference!!!!

So I have been a space case this last week, I hope we got the word out about our VT Conference this week! I didn't even have Bishop announce it in Sacrament! Please make sure everyone knows, it is going to be GREAT! If nothing else just come to get out of making Dinner and let Marsha do it for you! Marsha Reeves is in charge of our Meal and it is sure be Outstanding! Oh by the way, I have been "bribing" the Elders with treats to make sure they encourage their wives to come, so if your husband excepted bribery then doesn't follow through, he's in BIG TROUBLE!! :)

Can't wait to see you there!

All Good Things Must Come to an End.....

For those of you that missed a GREAT Sacrament Meeting, there was a Ton of changes in our Ward. I couldn't write fast enough so I am not even going to try and list all the releases, but want to give out a HUGE THANKS to those of you that served! If I make any mistakes on the new Callings PLEASE forgive me!! It didn't help that I was crying all the while I was sustaining all the new calls and trying to write neat enough to read it later, so here goes nothing. First of all they released me as RS Meeting Coordinator, (I have serious issues with this) and I have been called to serve as the Primary President, my 1st counselor is Jessica Dupass, 2nd counselor is Christy Tullis, and our Secretary is Jamie Gardner! I have to say I am way nervous about this, but at the same time, I'm way excited to be serving with these great Women, and SO Grateful they excepted their callings! By the way, did I hear "GASPS" when they called my name as President!! My thoughts EXACTLY!!! I hope the Good Lord knows what he's doing! Ok moving on, our Sunday School Presidency was reorganized, Jim Christiansen is President, Bill Hall 1st counselor, Josh Dupass 2nd counselor, and Wade Platt remains as Secretary. The Young Mens Presidency was reorganized also, Kyle Christensen is President, Crea Christensen 1st counselor, Bill Steele 2nd counselor, and Todd Tullis as the Secretary. Here is another place I couldn't write fast enough and I was still bawling so I hope I get these right! They put David Bosshardt in as Assistant Secretary, Jason Pauly in as Assistant Preist Advisor, Raymond Tullis in as Assistant Deacon Advisor, and Ryan Christensen in as Assistant Teacher. Congratulations to all of you and your new callings, and if you feel like I do, you need a big GOOD LUCK as well!

I have been sick ever since Bishop called me into his office a week and a half ago. I really enjoyed my short lived calling as RS Meeting Coordinator! When the Lord figures I have done enough damage in Primary, I speak that calling back "NO BATTLE!" (that's a "Twiner" term) I have to say the most important thing I will take away from this is the Love that I have gained for RS and RS Meeting! Once you have been on this end of it and see all the thought, time, effort, talent, and preparation that goes into a RS Meeting, I can't imagine staying home! Not to mention what you hear and feel while you're there! Thanks to everyone that helped me, we truly have some AMAZING Sisters in our Ward!

What's New...

We had a great Lesson Today and an Awesome Good News Minute! Sister Sanger and her husband had the opportunity to travel to Oregon to see their Grandson Graduate from HS, from Seminary, and receive his Eagle Scout!! That was quite a trip! Sister Beachum's son Danny got put in the Bishopric last week, that was the reason behind her mysterious disappearance! Our most favorite Brother Humphries had a successful surgery on his leg, he can WALK again! What a strong Man he is! Our Hearts are always with Brother and Sister Humphries during this hard time. Sister Richardson's Cat had a big litter of Kittens and she was able to get rid of them all in front of Wal-Mart! I think Gaylene ought to borrow a couple of kids (hint hint) and take her litter of 9 pups to Wal-Mart one of these days! Mandy Laub received her teaching license! Congratulations to her! Thanks Sister Gubler for a very touching Lesson on the Atonement, it is one we need to hear over and over!

What's New...

We didn't have any good news minutes today but we had a few announcements that I that were pretty important so I'm passing them along. Deb commented on how great the Building looked, for those of you that don't know, we recently were told we would no longer have janitors coming into our Building to clean. It is up to us as Ward Members to take care of our entire Meeting House. If you have taken a turn and cleaned it, you know what a time consuming job it is, now it will be an even BIGGER job!! I would encourage every Ward Member to take their turn in cleaning, we need to look at it as a "Right" and a "Privilege" to help take care of the Lord's House. A couple of things mentioned were how we need to make sure to do our part each week and help those that are coming into clean. After I cleaned the Building the first time I realized how important it is to clean up after ourselves, I make sure before we leave after Sacrament that my Kids haven't left any of their papers or wrappers in the Hymn Book Holders, on the floor, or on the Bench. I also make sure the treats I bring for my kids will not leave crumbs, last but not least, if you see something that needs taken care Please take a minute and do so! The other day in one of our wind storms I drove by the Church and seen the big trash can tipped over, so I stopped and tipped it up, what a mess that would have been if the trash would have gotten scattered everywhere!! These simple things that only take us a second will save the ones that will clean a TON of time! So Please be considerate of those that will be cleaning up after us, let's make sure we do our part and make it easier for us ALL!! Sorry, I think I rambled for a brief minute there, moving on... Of course we announced our VT Conference for the 24th at 7:00, I hope all of you will plan to attend! Take a minute and look at the Food Storage sign up sheet, I know I need too! We had a great Lesson, Cindy did a wonderful job on her short notice fill in Lesson, we really appreciate our Presidency and all of their hard work!

What's New...

I hope everyone had a GREAT Holiday Weekend!! If you missed meetings yesterday here is what's going on. In our Combined RS and Elders class Bishop wanted to touch on all the wonderful programs the church has for us to take advantage of. Lynn spoke to us for a few minutes about Family History and what an amazing tool the internet is in helping us do our Family History work! Oh by the way, all the Water bottles and filters are in so if you ordered some Lynn would really appreciate it if you would pick them up! Thanks! Then Dori spoke about her Temple Prep Class she teaches, if you are interested in taking any of the classes our Ward offers please let someone in the Bishopric know! Laura and Ramzi had their baby on Tuesday, they had a 6 lbs. 2 oz. little boy and they are thrilled!! She was there yesterday teaching the lesson, Kyle will never hear the end of it!! Sacrament was great, our two Sister Missionaries spoke to us and did a wonderful job. On a little side note, I brought an Investigator to Church with me Yesterday, she came to all three meeting and seemed to have enjoyed it. Her name is Mira, she lives down by Warren and I, and just Graduated from EHS. If you see her around be sure to say Hi, she is the sweetest girl! I am trying to help her find a job, preferably in St. George so if any of you know of anything please let me know!! Thanks!!

What's New...

I will admit to being a slacker this week, my kids woke up Sunday morning really missing their Dad so we took off for the day to a warmer climate to have some much needed Family time! I did call Marilyn and she said that announcements were pretty quiet and the only good news minute there was was Shirley Richardson got a vehicle running! We are excited for her. Marilyn also said Marsha gave an EXCELLENT lesson!! Her lesson came from Elder Hollands talk about not giving into temptation, sounds like for those of us that missed out better go and read his talk! It sounds like we no longer have Janitors coming into our Building each week, it is going to up to us as Ward members to take care of our Building. I know from the time I have spent cleaning the Church, it was already a big job, so we are really going to have to step up and make this work! If everyone is willing to help it will lighten everyone's load!! One little bit of news that I thought I would share, Jamie's Bridal Shower was on Saturday! She is Marrying Clint Gardner and will be living here in NewCastle, what a cute girl she is, we are so excited for them! The shower was a ton of fun and she had a great turn out! Thanks to all of you that came to support Jamie!

What's New...

Good News Minute was great as usual today, Sharla (Platt) went to Regional track in Idaho and took 2 - 1st places and 1 - 3rd place!! She is defiantly NewCastle's one and only track star!! Way to go Sharla! Lynn Lindsey has two grand kids graduating from HS this year, and Deb Fitz just got back from visiting Rye and Portia and their sweet new addition in NM! Fun stuff Ladies, thanks for sharing! Bea gave a much needed lesson on the importance of scriptures. How many of us take the time to read our scriptures each day? I know I need to do better at my personal reading and studying. My kids love to read the Illustrated Stories, I am good at that, but I do not read my scriptures like I should, we all need to make it an important part in our daily routines!! Thanks Bea for a wonderful lesson!!

What's New...

Hope you all had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day!! We had a full Good News minute! I hope I don't leave anything out, I was in Nursery for a while until I could convince Kirby he wanted to be there!! Gaylene got a wake up call from Justin this morning wishing her a Happy Mother's Day, He wanted to be the first and I'm sure he won!! She (hopefully) has heard from Jordan by now, we are so glad Missionaries get to call home on Mother's Day!! Tanner Laub got his Mission call, he is going to Ecuador!!! I am so excited for Tanner and so NERVOUS for Leah Jane, that is a LONG ways from home, Good Luck Tanner and Congratulations!! Mary Sanger will be a permanent member in our Ward, she is staying in Lund for good, we are thrilled to have her!! Christy is putting on a Quilt for Clint and Jamie, it will be set up at her house and she would LOVE any help with it!! Marsha had her 10th grand baby and Deb Fitz had her 7th grand baby, congrats to those two Grandmas!! The spotlight this month was on Christy Tullis, not Shari Reber. I'm sure I was not the only one that was confused, we wanted to clear that up and apologize for the mix up!! Cindy is looking for ANY old pictures of the old Church or Sunday School Buildings, if you have any or know anyone that has any PLEASE contact Cindy Cluett, Thanks!!
What a great Sacrament! Fawn's family did such a great job expressing their love and appreciation for her, I'm sure she was very pleased!! Thanks for a wonderful Sacrament Meeting Hulet Family, you all did great!!

What's New...

I missed Good News minute AGAIN! But this time I was in Primary for a minute. Sorry! So I don't have any news but what a wonderful lesson!! Cindy gave a great lesson on trials and struggles. Ginger, Wendy, TiAnna, and Dori had us all in tears with their touching remarks! Thanks so much to those sisters that share such tender feelings and emotions! I truly believe our Heavenly Father loves us and not only will he never give us more than we can handle, he will not make us go through our trials and tribulations alone! He is always there to comfort us, or sends an angel our way in our time of need. Thanks for the wonderful lesson Cindy, I really enjoyed it! Cindy also told us of her appreciation for Marilyn, I really want to second that and Thank not just Marilyn for all of her hard work and dedication, but also thank Cindy, Deb and Amy! They have a tough job and we all appreciate them so much!

I missed Good News Minute, I spent too much time this morning going over my talk for the millionth time! So if I leave something out I am so sorry! Carma had a bunch of her family come and visit, she was very excited about that! It is always nice to have company! Laura Hughes is about 5 weeks away from delivering, Am I the only one that thinks that is completely unfair?? She just barely announced!!!! Can't wait to have another little Hughes baby in our ward, we just love 'em! Stacey Gardner gave a great Lesson about controlling our tempers and not acting out in anger, what a GREAT Lesson we all need to work on! Since I was late, I didn't get a chance to make sure someone announced our RS & YW mini class any where so lets get talking about it and plan on coming the night of May 5th at 7:00 p.m. I also left the sign up sheet in RS for Supplies and Treats so look for them! I brought in a little baggy with what you need to bring so take a look at that also! I will do better next week, now that I have this LONG week behind me! Thanks Ladies for all your support!

Thank You!!

I got the nicest Thank You card I think I have EVER gotten! A couple of Sweet Sisters in our Ward sent me a Thank You after the Birthday Party, they enjoyed themselves and had so many nice things to say! It made my day! I am keeping it in my office to remind me how much a simple "Thank You" is appreciated! It's like my Husband said after he read it, "That card alone makes it all worth it!" And it did, Thanks Ladies!

We really appreciate our teachers!

Success!!!

WOW!! What a great night! Our RS Birthday Party was a HIT! I want to thank everyone that came to support us! Thanks! Our speakers were wonderful! Fawn is a down to earth, hilarious Woman that can so easily put things in to perspective and be so entertaining at the same time! She talked about how important it is to look up and be positive, be a "cup half full" kind of person. Stay on top of the pile! She did perfect! Thanks Fawn! Karen gave such a touching message about spiritual strength, if you didn't feed off of her strong spirit you were not in the room! What an amazing Woman we can all look up to and use as an example when things get hard! She reminded us that our trials are given to us to make us become more Christ like. Our trials are to make us stronger, and there is something to learn from each of our individual trials. I am so grateful she was willing to share her inspirational words! Thanks Karen! Rycci and her girls were great! What a talent they have! What they do is truly harder than it looks! Thank You for coming and entertaining us, you added so much to our program!

I hope everyone that was there enjoyed the night and took something home with you that will help you be a "10 cow Woman," I know I did! I hope I get better as time goes by, I get up in front of people and can't remember anything! Note to self: WRITE NOTES!! I can't even remember what I said after I have sat down! I was not going to forget to thank all my help, and of course I did, I had to be reminded, then I was really flustered!! Stacie did an amazing job on our food, you would have thought she had done it a million times! Thanks Stacie, it turned out perfect, I know everyone enjoyed the food! Judy spent countless hours planning our Decor, she is such a talented soul! Thanks Judy for always going above and beyond your call! I didn't wash a SINGLE DISH!! Shari, Cindy, Marilyn, Deb, Amy, Stacie, Thanks for all your help in the Kitchen and anyone I failed to notice helping back there! I feel like I am forgetting people once again! I promise I am going to get better at this! For those of you that couldn't come we hope to see you next time!

Info on Birthday Party!!

YaY!! I got our speakers lined up!! Fawn Hulet will be our "Mad Cow" speaker, she said it should be "Moooooving" and "Udderly" entertaining! Can you tell she is going to be GREAT?? Karen Humphries will be our "Holy Cow" speaker, she is one we all look up to, can't wait to hear from them both!! Rycci Crouch will be entertaining us with a performance, along with her sweet daughter Aleighna and a few of her Young Women!! I am so excited! I posted this as a "Comment" last week, but I am learning that not very many sisters are able to see the comments so I am going to do mostly Posts. Is there a way to make all the comments show up without clicking on the comment button??
