Ward Conference Messages from our Stake Presidency

Sisters,

We've been blessed these last two weeks with amazing lessons & messages & testimonies from our Stake leaders! We hope you were able to attend Stake Conference this past weekend. The Spirit was strong & the messages were wonderful.

The week before was our Ward Conference. The Youth and their parents met with Pres. Bailey where he shared his testimony and a message. We were able to record that for those of you who couldn't be there - the link is:

We were so happy to welcome our stake president, Pres. Wilcox, to Relief Society to share his testimony & a message with us. He spoke on Ch. 3 from our Teachings of the Prophets: George Albert Smith - "Our Testimony of Jesus Christ". The link to his message is:

We hope you can find the time to listen to these talks/lessons - either for the first time, or again.

With love,
Jennifer, Kathryn, Yvonne & Breann

Sister Spotlight & RS Lesson Links

Sisters,

I apologize for falling behind in posting the download links for our Relief Society lessons! I have three good ones for you:

Jan 15th - George Albert Smith, Ch 2 "Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself" - given by Sally Crawley
http://www.cleanlinemedia.com/JordanRiverWard/RS/2012_01_15_GAS_Ch2_LoveThyNeighbor.zip

Jan 22nd - I wasn't at church and missed recording Gretchen Erb's lesson. I heard it was GREAT! She taught from "The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn" by Elder David A Bednar, from the October 2011 General Conference issue of the Ensign. Take some time to read this great talk.

Jan 29th - 5th Sunday, Bishopric Message on Family Relationships - given by Bishop Erb and Br. Crockett (This recording isn't great, but the message IS! It's worth the effort to listen to it.)

New Year's Theme & RS Lesson Links

Happy New Year!! We are excited about 2012 and our theme for the year - FORGET NOT.

We are basing our 2012 theme on Pres. Uchtdorf's talk, "Forget Me Not". Please take the time to read his beautiful, uplifting talk. Here is the link:

We hope you will feel the love of your Savior & Heavenly Father as you read & study our year's theme.

Our amazing RS President, Jennifer Westwood, introduced this year's theme on Sunday, January 1st. Here is the link to her lesson:

This Sunday, one of our fabulous RS teachers, Saundra Gall, inspired us to make better resolutions & live what we believe every day. She kicked off our 2012 curriculum - teaching from the new manual, "Teachings of Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith".

If you don't have your manual yet, please see a member of the presidency. We have one for each of you!!

Here is the link to Saundra's lesson:

Open The Gift!!

Sisters,

We have recently received such a special gift - it's the book "Daughters In Our Kingdom". Have you opened your gift??

This book contains testimonies, experiences, teaching moments, and stories about our sisters in the Church. It is meant to inspire us, to uplift us, to support us, and to increase our connection with our Savior and each other.

Take a moment and "open the gift"! I think you will want to keep reading more and more.

Here's a link to a 2 minute intro to "Daughters In Our Kingdom" by our Relief Society General President, Sis.Beck. We all have 2 minutes, right?

I hope you are uplifted and your hearts filled as you read this beautiful book.

With love,
