Announcements 12/14

Announcements

Dear Sisters,
Our lesson this week was on Chapter 23 of the Joseph Fielding Smith manual, titled Individual Responsibility.
President Smith said:
“It is my duty, as it is your duty, my brethren and my sisters likewise—for responsibility is placed also upon you—to do the very best that is within our power, and not to shirk, but endeavor with all our soul to magnify the callings the Lord has given us, to labor diligently for the salvation of our own house, each one of us, and for the salvation of our neighbors, the salvation of those who are abroad.”
We should ask ourselves the following questions as we read and study this lesson.
-What can we do to help children be more responsible?
-What can we do to be more self-reliant?
Next week’s lesson will be Chapter 25 from the Joseph Fielding Smith manual, titled The Birth of Jesus Christ: “Good Tidings of Great Joy”
