Spring Fling Info

The Relief Society Spring Fling is on Saturday May 9th starting at 10am at the Stake Center. The theme is "This is our Time - to love, to learn , and to serve."

*We've been asked to bring every sister we can. We're planning a fun activity for this. Laurels are also invited.

*We are supposed to bring Desserts for our wonderful Dessert Bar.

*There will be no nursery. Sorry. If you need assistance with your children to be able to attend, please let someone in the RS Presidency know.

*Also we are asked to participate in the SCHOOL BAG SERVICE PROJECT. In addition to needing the bags, they are asking for donations of pencils, boxes of 12 colored pencils, 12" rulers, pink pearl erasers (3/4 x 1-1 1/2 "), Spiral notebooks, school scissors (blunt nosed with metal blades), pencil sharpeners (small student kind with container for the shavings attached).

Compassionate Service is in the Bag!

Dear Sisters:

LDS Humanitarian Services is donating almost 10,000 school bags filled with school supplies to children in Arkansas. Our Relief Society sisters need the opportunity to help to replenish the number of bags that Humanitarian Services has to distribute. Please organize in sewing the bags described (on the handout) and bring your completed bags to our Relief Society Spring Fling on Saturday, May 9, 2009. We want to post them on the walls of the cultural hall so we can show the wonderful things that Relief Society sisters are doing to help children around the world.

Note from the RS Presidency

Happy Easter Sweet Sisters....

I also believe as Elder Holland does that there are angels among us. I pray that you will assist them as you are doing your visiting teaching. Each of us needs to feel the love of our sisters in the gospel... I'm smiling as I think of you doing the work of Angels.....You are Angels...to me.....

All my Love Sister Crockett....

RS Message for April

God's Messengers
"When the time for [the] Savior's advent was at hand, an angel was sent to announce to Mary that she was to be the mother of the Son of God. Then a host of angels was commissioned to sing on the night the baby Jesus was born. Shortly thereafter an angel would announce to Joseph that the newborn baby was in danger and this little family must flee to Egypt for safety. When it was safe to return, an angel conveyed that information to the family and the three returned to the land of their heritage.

"From the beginning down through the dispensations, God has used angels as His emissaries in conveying love and concern for His children. . . . "Usually such beings are not seen. Sometimes they are. But seen or unseen they are always near. Sometimes their assignments are very grand and have significance for the whole world. Sometimes the messages are more private. Occasionally the angelic purpose is to warn. But most often it is to comfort, to provide some form of merciful attention, guidance in difficult times."
