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!

July Presidency Message

Dear Sisters,
The companionship of the Holy Ghost is one of the greatest blessings we can enjoy
in mortality. It is our choice as to what extent we experience the Holy Ghost in our
lives. Sisters, do you recognize the Holy Spirit in your lives each day. If not, you are
living beneath your privileges as a daughter of our Heavenly Father. Our Heavenly
Father wants us to receive the marvelous blessings that can come through this wonderful
gift he has given to us. We must accept this gift, and learn to recognize it. We must
be careful not to hinder, disregard, or quench the Spirit in our lives. Learning to hear
and understand the Spirit takes considerable effort. But the Lord has promised that
the faithful will “receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that
[they may] know the mysteries and peaceable things – that which bringeth joy, that which
bringeth life eternal” (D&C 42:61).
It is our prayer that each of us will make it a priority to seek and recognize the spirit in our lives.
With Love, The 8th Ward Relief Society
