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!
Just thought I would let you know Chana's birthday is the 19th not the 16th! Thanks for keeping us informed with what is going on in RS!!!
