The Stake Presidency would like us to join them in celebrating, protecting, and strengthening our Families during the month of May! The goal they have set is:
100% FHE
100% Family Prayer
100% Family Scripture Study
They ask us to please pray for guidance, help, and direction, as we prepare for 'Family Month'. As President Gordon B. Hinckley advised: '..follow the whisperings of the the Spirit to guide you in the most serious of all responsibilites, for the consequences of your leadership in your home will be eternal and everlasting.'
LET'S GET IT DONE!!

May Presidency Message
The opening paragraph of 'The Family: A Proclamation to the World' states, "WE THE FIRST PRESIDENCY and the council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children."
It is through marriage that we have the potential for our greatest happiness and even exaltation. Because Satan knows this, he is relentless in his attacks upon our homes and families. Husbands and wives have been charged by the Lord to love and care for each other. Yet, in the words of Elder Russell M. Nelson, '...some married couples fall short of their full potential. They let their romance become rusty, take each other for granted, allow other interests or clouds of neglect to obscure the vision of what their marriage really could be.' (Nurturing Marriage, Ensign, May 2000).
We can strengthen our marriages and enrich our personal lives as we seek to live gospel principles such as selflessness, patients, service, forgiveness, charity, and hope. Line upon line, precept upon precept, relying upon the Lord to strengthen and guide us, we can build relationships that are sweet, uplifting, and holy.
We love you, and ask the Lord to bless you.
