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!

June Presidency Message

In General Conference this April, we were reminded again and again that we are to strive to become like the Savior. Visiting Teaching is an oppurtunity to follow the Savior by extendingunselfish service and love. The Lord can use a dedicated visiting teacher to answer prayers of sisters who may be struggling, to touch hearts, and to change lives. Visiting Teaching is the plan the Lord has provided whereby the sisters of the church may be watched over. When we visit teach in the manner the Lord has prescribed, we are honoring covenants we have made to be willing to bear one another's burdens, to be willing to mourn with those that mourn, to comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times. We hope that the sisters in our wonderful ward will be blessed both through their service as visiting teachers, and by experiencing meaningful visits from committed visiting teachers!
We love you and hope you have a wonderful summer!
