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!

September Presidency Message

As a young mother I have found myself often pondering the thoughts of balance. I ask questions: "how can I do it all," "are there enough hours in the day," "what is my mission?"
2 Nephi 2:25: Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.
We must remember that we were created by the most creative Being in the universe. We have all been blessed with the innate ability to create. We learn from Pres. Uchtdorf that "creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before." For everyone it is different but I believe that God intended us to find joy in our families, our homes, relationships/friendships and also our personal interests.
I have been reminded of my worth as a daughter of God. We have all been sent here with the great responsibility to build the Kingdom. At times it feels overwhelming but i have found that as i make priorities to put Him first i am blessed with the ability to find joy in every aspect of my life.

With much love,
the RS presidency

Under the Umberella of Self Reliance

It's September and it's back to school time (the most wonderful time of the year) and kids will be taking lunches...Did you know it is estimated that 84 billion plastic bags are used by American each year, most end up in landfills. I challenge you to find alternative ways to pack your kids's lunch this year. There are a lot of other options (created by resourceful moms) , here are a couple of sites to check out: Laptop lunches, Reusies & Lunchskins. Not to mention Glad makes re-usable containers and there are other plastic items in the back to school section at your local store.
