October Newsletter Updates

Relief Society Message –

The new word for the month of October is PEACE. President Uchtdorf said in the General Relief Society Meeting, Sep. 24^th, "My dear sisters, the gospel of Jesus Christ is not an obligation; it is a pathway, marked by our loving Father in Heaven, leading to happiness and peace in this life and glory and inexpressible fulfillment in the life to come. The gospel is a light that penetrates mortality and illuminates the way before us." Sis. Barbara Thompson's talk was titled: "Keeping Covenants Brings Joy and Peace". May you do those things that will bring peace to you in this life.

Put on your calendars Thursday, Nov. 17th - Special Ward Relief Society Meeting. Dinner at 6 pm and "Jesus Once of Humble Birth" cantata to follow. (Let us know if you want to participate in it... we need all voices.)

We want all the sisters to keep track of each temple ordinance completed for a display at the RS Birthday Party in March. It would also be nice to have pictures of the sisters outside the temple, so start taking them!

For the RS Christmas brunch, we'd like to have a slideshow of family activities as well as ward activities. Please email pictures to: funeralpotatoes@comcast.net or burn them to a disc and give to Pres. Hunsaker.
