Happy New Year!
We are excited to spend some time discussing The Relief Society Declaration this year. We will be discussing different aspects of it each month in the first Sunday lessons. Last Sunday Sister Hunsaker started us off by teaching about seeking spiritual strength by following the promptings of the Holy Ghost. In February, the topic will be "Finding nobility in motherhood and joy in womanhood". We hope that we will all be strengthened as we learn together.

v Dedicate ourselves to strengthening marriages, families, and homes.
v Find nobility in motherhood and joy in womanhood.
v Delight in service and good works.
v Love life and learning.
v Stand for truth and righteousness.
v Sustain the priesthood as the authority of God on earth.
v Rejoice in the blessings of the temple, understand our divine destiny, and strive for exaltation.
