April Presidency Message

'It is only when we love God and Christ with all of our hearts, souls, and minds that we are able to share this love with our neighbors through acts of kindness and service—the way that the Savior would love and serve all of us if He were among us today.' (Elder Ballard)
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.

Love,
The Relief Society Presidency

March Presidency Message

There is POWER in making and keeping covenants! Divine covenants make strong Christians. Satan can not make us do anything. The only power the adversary has is the power we give him when we break our covenants. Every one of us was foreordained to stand where we stand in His kingdom. George Q. Cannon said: 'God has reserved spirits for this dispensation who have the courage and determination to face the world, and all the powers of the evil one, to proclaim the Gospel, and maintain the truth, and establish and build up the Zion of our God, fearless of all consequences......to come forth at this time the noblest of His spirits, the men and women most capable of carrying out this work, and achieving the grand results the Prophets have predicted...' This is YOU. Strive to keep your covenants. He will strengthen your faith and fill you with godly power. Take time every day to strengthen them. We pray that you may we 'stand in holy places' and 'be not moved'.

Love,
The Relief Society Presidency
