November Presidency Message
Most of us just enjoyed a bountiful Thanksgiving feast, and we numbered the many blessings that we have received from a loving Heavenly Father! This month, as we celebrate the birth of the Savior, we have the opportunity to partake of a SPIRITUAL FEAST, by increasing our effort to draw nearer to Him. As we contemplate His miraculous birth, His perfect life, and the reality of His atoning sacrifice and glorious resurrection, let us strive to center our lives in Him - through fasting and prayer, studying and pondering
His teachings, and through following His supreme example of unselfish service. It is our hope that amid the hustle and bustle of the season, that each of you will find a quiet moment to feel His love for you, and
to express your love to Him. May our hearts be filled with gratitude and joy as we celebrate His life this Christmas season! “O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!”
Merry Christmas!

Temple Picture Class
This picture ends up being 26x32 inches-hugh! And they are so beautiful. They are protected by a glassless finish and surrounded by a 4 1/2'' chunky frame (black or brown). The class is about 2 hours, and even those with little or no craft experience can do these. There are eight temples available to do:
St. George, Bountiful, Timpanogas, Logan, Idaho Falls, Salt Lake, Manti, and Oquirrh Mtn. The next class will be held on April 10th, 10:00am at the church. The cost is $53.00--money is due by March 28th. There is no limit on the number you do, and you are welcome to invite family or friends to come too.
(FYI-We need a total of 15 pictures to have a class. Sign-up sheets will be in the roll books, and also will be passed around in Primary & YW. You can email us with any questions you may have: enrichmentnight@yahoo.com)
March Presidency Message
“If ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words.” (Alma 32:27)
Along with a desire, if we can exercise faith, even the smallest amount, our testimonies will begin to grow and become stronger than we ever imagined. It is our testimonies that will help us through our trials so have the faith that it will grow and let the Holy Ghost testify to you its truthfulness in quiet moments.
We love you all.
