It's BIRTHDAY WEEK! On March 17, one-hundred and sixty-nine years ago, the Prophet Joseph organized the women of the church "under the priesthood after the pattern of the priesthood." We have been richly blessed for having the opportunity to be a part of such a divinely organized "Relief Society". Our lives are fuller because of it, our lives are happier because of it, and we are blessed by the revelation that comes into our lives because of it!
All Relief Society sisters and the Laurels are invited to attend our annual Birthday Event scheduled for Tuesday, March 15 at 6:30 p.m. Please put this front and center on your calendar. It will be an extraordinary evening!
On Sunday, we welcomed all our visitors this week who were here for the Gardner/Eggan Wedding. It was a great event. We wish our newlyweds much happiness in their new life together.
LESSON:
Our lesson this week was given by Sister Christy Gardner. It was a wonderful re-visit to the subject of SERVICE. "Christlike service grows out of genuine love for the Savior and of love and concern for those whom He gives us opportunities and direction to help. Love is more than a feeling; when we love others, we want to help them."
President Kimball reminds us that "God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs." None of us are exempt from relying on the help of others in our lives. What a blessing it is to be the recipient of someone elses service. What a blessing it is to be the giver of service to others. "When we serve others we gain important blessings." (See Chapter 28, page 164)
Christ is the perfect example to us to follow as we give service. May we follow Him and take advantage of the opportunities that come our way to give service to others.
