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!

August Presidency Message
The willingness of Latter-day Saints to respond to calls to serve is a representation of their desire to do the will of the Lord. This is the kingdom of God on the earth. His work must go on and its progress depends on the strength we lend it. It is our responsiblility to accept His calls and to grow in His service. Remember that serving the Lord is a privilege, and just as God called you, He will guide you. All He asks is that you give your best effort and your whole heart. May we ever be found willing and serving faithfully!
With much love-
The Relief Society Presidency
