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!

May Presidency Message
Isn’t it amazing to live in a time when we have living prophets, seers, and revelators on the earth to give us direction. How wonderful it has this been this last month to be ‘spiritually feed’ by the leaders of our church during the April general conference. Now as we receive our May issue of the Ensign, (or we can go online) we have the opportunity to study the council that has been given to us. If we will take this opportunity, we will have great blessings come into our life, and we will find the direction that we need. Elder Jeffery R. Holland stated that, “If we teach by the Spirit and you listen by the Spirit, some one of us will touch on your circumstance, sending a personal prophetic epistle just to you.” It is our desire that we will all take the time to ‘feast’ upon the words from the April general conference; that we may find the security and peace God wants for each of us.

April Presidency Message
As we strive to have the pure love of Christ we begin to act as Heavenly Father and Jesus would. Through small and simple acts of kindness we can build friendships, uplift those who might be struggling, and become great examples to those around us.
