RS Meetings

 

Our February RS Meeting, "Desserts, De-stress, & De-clutter" was such a great night with a big turn-out.

Relaxing yoga, delicious desserts, and helpful household management tips, made for an enjoyable evening.

We would like to express a big thank you to all who participated!

Our March Party was a wonderful way to celebrate the anniversary of the Relief Society. 

 Before working together to offer tokens of love and service to our sisters, Sister Hawkes encouraged us to Extend Our Reach.

 In the very earliest days of the Relief Society, Lucy Mack Smith, mother of the
Prophet Joseph Smith, gave prophetic counsel. She advised the sisters then and now that: "We must cherish one another, watch over one another, comfort one another and gain instruction, that we may all sit down in heaven together.”

 

President Monson has said, "There is a serious need for the charity that gives attention to those who are unnoticed, hope to those who are discouraged, aid to those who are afflicted. True charity is love in action. The need for charity is everywhere."

 

Sister Hawkes spoke of the need to:

1.Pray for each other 

2.Reach out.  (If you are comfortable and happy in this ward and community, please reach out to someone who might not be.  If you are feeling alone or isolated, please reach out too, though it might be hard at first.)  

3.Never give up!  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear - 1 John 4:18  

 

Be the change.  :)  "Let’s reach out to our sisters so we can achieve the state spoken of by Alma: “having their hearts knit together in unity and love one towards another.” When we so “cherish one another” and “watch over one another”, we will be able to look forward to the day when we “all sit down in heaven together.”

 

Our next RS Meeting will be a day event on gardening. 

What a great way to welcome in Spring!  It will be at Chelsea's house at 9:30 on April 11th.  We will have a gardening expert there to get us excited for the season.  Don't feel like you have to know anything about gardening to come - she will be addressing issues for the beginner, intermediate, and advanced gardeners in our Relief Society.  It is always worth the initial work to enjoy the convenience and thrill of harvesting fresh food right out of your own backyard, whether you plant a small pot of herbs or a big garden!  Hope to see you there!
