New Year!

I'd like to wish a happy new year to all the Relief Society sisters.  I am excited about the new year, and have made several resolutions of my own, hopefully to keep longer than the first few weeks of the year!  Our theme for this year is "Of One Heart and One Mind."  We are going to study several different attributes of Christ, so we can learn to become like Him.  On doing this, we may have a unified soul which leads to unity within our families, ward, and church.  The attributes we are going to study are:

February: Charity and Love

March: Patience

April: General Conference

May: Diligence

June: Faith

July: Obedience

August: Knowledge

September: Hope

October: General Conference

November: Humility

December:  Virtue

We hope that as we study Christ and the attributes of his heart, we will be more able to withstand temptation and be more like him.

Book Of Mormon

The Bishop gave a great lesson last Sunday about both temporal and spiritual welfare.  It was a good reminder of what our priorities need to be.  We also set a goal as a ward to have the Book of Mormon read by May 1st, which means you need to read about 25 pages a week to get it done.  Doing this as a family will help bring the spirit into our homes and provide teaching opportunities for parents.  Ice cream party for all who finish (put on by the bishopric, I'm sure:)!!!

Lessons

Sister Heap gave a very nice lesson on being grateful and having a positive attitude. It was a great lesson for this time of year as we have so much to be thankful for. Next weeks lesson is chapter 19 from the Joseph Smith manual.

This Week

The ward party is planned for this Saturday at 5:30 at the church. It should be a lot of fun, so plan on being there! Also, the lesson for next week is Joseph Smith Ch 20, Page 239. "A Heart Full of Love and Faith." Please try to read it before church on Sunday. Have a great week :)
