Announcements 10/27

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Dear Sisters, 

This week our lesson was given by Sister Stacey Wilhelmsen on the topic of the Sacrament.  She referenced Elder James J. Hamula and Sister Cheryl Esplin talks from our last General Conference. 

Sister Esplin quoted Elder Holland when he said “One of the invitations inherent in the sacramental ordinance is that it be a truly spiritual experience, a holy communion, a renewal for the soul.”

We had great discussion about how the sisters in our ward prepare for and use the Sacrament as a time to renew their souls.  

Elder Hamula said, “The ordinance of the sacrament has been called “one of the most holy and sacred ordinances in the Church.”  It needs to become more holy and sacred to each of us.”

Next week, we will hear from Sister Shelby Hansen for our 1st Sunday discussion.

To make Visiting Teaching a rewarding experience for everyone, consider the following questions: Are you able to make arrangements for your children when you go visiting teaching?  Have you prepared a message from the Ensign to give to your sister?  Do you and your partner pray before visiting your sisters? Do you do your best to set up an appointment to visit your sisters? Is there a special event in your sisters lives that needs to be recognized this month, i.e. birthday, anniversary, etc.?
