Dear Sisters,
Our lesson this week was from Sister Hanks on Chapter 25 of the Joseph
Fielding Smith manual: The Birth of Jesus Christ: “Good Tidings of Great
Joy” President Smith said, “How can anyone read this touching story of
the birth of Jesus Christ without wishing to forsake his sins? At this
season of the year it is well for one and all—the king in his palace, if
there are kings in palaces now, the peasant in his humble cottage, the
rich and the poor alike—to bow the knee and pay honor to him who was
without sin, whose life was spent in sacrifice and sorrow for the
benefits of his fellow man; whose blood was shed as a sacrifice for
sin. …”Sister Hanks showed us this beautiful Christmas video also.
Next week’s lesson will be from the following General Conference talks
(please print out and bring them with you.):
Approaching the Throne of God with Confidence, Elder Jorg Klebingat,
October 2014
Like a Broken Vessel, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, October 2013
Announcements:
Visiting Teaching- please contact your sisters before the end of the
month. Everyone needs visiting! (Don’t forget to report to your
supervisor- Sister Aldous, Sister Hansen or Sister Burch- when you are
done so that we know as a presidency who still needs to be contacted.
Thank you!) The lesson can be found here.
2015 manuals- We will be learning from President Ezra Taft Benson in
Relief Society and Priesthood next year. New manuals are available.
The church is encouraging us to use our mobile devices if you have them,
but if you need an actual paper manual, we do have a few available.
Those wishing to donate $2 for the cost of the manuals may do so on
their tithing slips (this is not a requirement though).
New Church Schedule- Starting in January, our ward will move to the 1:00
time slot.

questions)

Christmas Video (Have your tissues handy and ENJOY!)
We hope this holiday season finds you healthy and happy.
We love you,
and your Heavenly Father loves you and it is our greatest desire that
you recognize that in your life. Merry Christmas Sisters!
Love,
Sister Pam Eames
Sister Nichole Aldous
Sister Shelby Hansen
