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

President Faust said: 'To be a daughter of God means that you are the offspring of Deity, literal desendants of a Divine Father, inheriting godly attributes and potential....Being a daughter of God means that if you seek it, you can find your true identity. You know who you are.'
From the Adversary's point of view, we are dangerous. Righteous daughter's of God dedicated to the Lord and united in the cause of goodness threaten his work. Is it any wonder then that Satan would launch an all-out attack on Latter-Day Saint women?
Might we therefore covenant this very hour to work and watch and fight and pray. To work to strengthen ourselves spiritually every week of every month of every year. The closer we grow to our Father in Heaven, the more clear and complete becomes our vision of who we are and what we can become. Seek for opportunities to study, go to the temple, pray, ponder and fast with sincerity, making and keeping covenants, service, and building your testimony. We pray that you will prioritize the things in your life, focusing more on life eternal, than life today. We pray for you and love you each.
