I just wanted to take a quick second and let you all know that we have a new member in our RS--Megan Winters turned 18 last week and we are thrilled to have her joining our ranks in Relief Society!!
Well, we have had a few additions to the calendar: The crocheting class will be starting again on Wednesday, the 29th of September at 6:30 somewhere at the church (We don't know which room yet, but we'll be there!)
Our normal First Tuesday of the month temple trip will be on the 5th at 8:00 am, contact Carol Hansen if you want to go.
The ward party has also been planned for Thursday, the 7th of October, which is when we were planning on having the book club, so the book club will meet the day before on the 6th at 7:00 pm in the Relief Society room.
The ward party will be dinner at Sheep Summit, A-L bring any salad besides potato and green, and M-Z bring a dessert. You'll need jackets or coats for sure since we are a little later in the year than normal, and chairs!! This is several miles out the crestline road (Right turn at the nine mile rock on your way to Cedar and keep going down that dirt road, the Crestline Road, until you find us off to the right!)
Also, Sister Prince, our Provident Living Specialist told us that Wal-mart in Cedar City is having a case lot sell with 40 lb sealed buckets of hard red and white wheat for $9.72 a bucket, which is about half-price of even the cannery!! Lots of other things, but I didn't end up getting a sheet from her after they got copied--so if you want to know more, give her a call!
As a side note, because this is not technically a RS sponsored event, but just in case you are interested in knowing of it ;) the former RS group known as the Breakfast Bunch, is still meeting, even with the closing of Cindy-Sooz's. Carol Mathews will be hosting them at the Pine Tree Inn and Bakery on 3rd St on October 12, a Tuesday, at 9:30 am. If you are interested in joining them, please RSVP to LuAnn Wilbur (4420), or Carol Hansen (4697) by Monday the 11th. The cost of breakfast will be $5.00 and Carol will rotate different breakfasts each month for quite a few months. So, if you have some time to spend visiting and enjoying each others company--this could be a nice way to do it!
FINALLY, for those of you who missed the stake activity--we had a really nice time visitng with our sisters from the other wards on this end of the county, while helping sew quilted wall-hangings to be used as decorations in orphanages around the US and beyond. We also had some sisters from each ward share their tools and ideas for living providently, which was interesting and fun.
The General Relief Society Broadcast followed, and if you missed it, I hope that you will listen to it at LDS.org, or read it as soon as it comes out in November. Especially PresidentMonson's amazing talk. I was so touched by the Spirit as it reafirmed to me, and I think to everyone else there (I could see there hands wiping away tears teh entire time he spoke) that he is truly a prophet of God. ANd his message was beautiful and so important for all of us.
HA HA, you thought I was done, but I always have more to add--I just remembered that if you use the internet much, or LDS.org, that the church ahs just finished updating a new sight www.new.lds.org/
and it will soon be replacing the old one, but you can already start using it in it's new format if you want to give it a try--the RS broadcast is available on it's home page.
