"Angels Among Us"

Did you know?...

There are "angels among us!"  That's right, all around you, everyday.  You'll have to look hard to find them sometimes because they may not be so obvious.  But, they are there watching, protecting you, serving you, reaching out and helping you along...  They come in various ways...in our homes, at church, our jobs, the grocery store, and many other places we may not expect to find them.  They come in all shapes and sizes, some are young/older, some are short/tall, some are seasoned with wisdom, while some are ready for something new.  Many are truly miracles in our lives...

Angels are among us in our Relief Society and we look forward to celebrating the Relief Society Anniversary together.  Join us, and bring the angels in your life!

• When:  Tuesday, March 23rd
• Time:  6:30pm
• Where:  Cultural Hall at the ward building

Happy Anniversary, Relief Society Sisters!

"This organization is divinely made, divinely authorized, divinely instituted, divinely ordained of God to minister for the salvation of the souls of women and of men. Therefore there is not any organization that can compare with it, that can be compared with it, that can ever occupy the same stand and platform that this can, unless the Lord will organize another."

("Teachings of Presidents of the Church:  Joseph F. Smith, p. 183, as quoted from the "Minutes of the General Board of the Relief Society," 17 Mar. 1914, Historical Department Archives, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 54.)

March Activities and Workshops Calendar

Happy Anniversary, Relief Society!  What a profound blessing it is to be part of the largest worldwide women's organization, divinely inspired, where we have the opportunity to serve, share, uplift, support, and strengthen.  It truly is a time to celebrate together as we support the purpose of Relief Society (http://www.ldschurch.org/):

• Help sisters and their families come unto Christ

How do we do this? 

• Build faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and teach the doctrines of the kingdom (see 2 Nephi 31:20-21; Omni 1:26).
• Emphasize the divine worth of each sister (see D&C 25:2-3, 15-16; Moses 6:9).
• Exercise charity and nurture those in need (See Mosiah 4:26; Moroni 7:46-48).
• Strengthen and protect families (see Mosiah 4:14-15; D&C 130:2).
• Serve and support each sister (see 1 Corinthians 12:13-27).
• Help sisters become full participants in the blessings of the priesthood (see D&C 66:2; 84:35-39; Moses 5:1).

What a privilege and a joy it is to be in this organization with each of you!  May you know and feel of the Lord's infinite love for you.  (Click HERE to view the Relief Society Commemoration video.)

We look forward to celebrating this special time with you!  Please share the blessings of Relief Society with other women you meet, so that they, too, may feel of the Savior's love for them as a beloved daughter of God.
