Happy New Year everyone! Can we believe it 2011 already? We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones and friends, and that the true spirit of Christmas radiated in your homes.
Our Relief Society has taken on a new look for Sunday mornings. Our eyes feasted upon a wonderful new bulletin board. So many thanks to those who helped to re-furbish it. We will also discontinue the 'good news minute' and the 'music period' in our meetings. Directions in our new handbooks are giving our teachers the ultimate amount of time for classroom instruction. The bookmarks were passed out with our new theme for the year and lesson schedules. We are hoping that each of us will take the time to read our lessons prior to coming to Relief Society and, for those of you who are involved in other organizations, it is a wonderful way for you to keep in touch with what we are learning.
"BEING STEADFAST AND IMMOVABLE" is the theme chosen by our ward presidency. The selected goals for 2011 are:
1. Learn of Him2. Reach Beyond Ourselves3. Use Our Time in Inspired Ways4. Stand Strong and Immovable
Our objective is: "To help each of us to find strength in the Gospel and each other." Let us all make a concentrated effort to work at building that strong, immovable foundation in our Savior, Jesus Christ.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Relief Society Meeting is scheduled for January 18 at 6:30 p.m. Sister Lynn Lindsey will give a presentation on our Home Food Storage/Pantry. There will be samples for all to taste. An event that will surely benefit us all.
LESSON:
After a short but wonderful introduction by Sister Marilyn Tullis on our new theme, Cindy Cluett gave some marvelous insights on '"being steadfast and immovable". She shared some personal experiences with us that she has had with standing up for the gospel and defending our beliefs. It will surely take great courage for us to be counted on the Lord's side as we are confronted by much of the world today. Let us be determined to be the best that we can be.
