Make Your Own Temple Pic.......

On December 2nd, a Friday, there will be an opportunity for all interested throughout the community to make their own temple pictures (This is NOT a Relief Society Activity, just something that is going on and we wanted to let everyone that might be interested know about it).  Earlene Williams will be coming with all the materials to make these.  There are three sizes, 8x10 ($30), 16x20 ($50), & 20x30 ($70).  That price is for the completed, framed picture.  There are various Temple Pic's available, there is a booklet at the church by this picture with teh examples, and also the list of others that she can get for an extra $30 because they are ones they have not yet got copyright privileges for.  There is also a frame that is WIDER even than the one in the picture below.  It is an extra $15 dollars. 

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, the sign up forms are on the table at the church foyer, or you can contact me--me email link is in the lefthand corner of this blog.  She will need all information and money turned in at least a week prior!!

This is a 20x30 example of what you can do with the St George Temple.  It will start at 9 am and run throughout the day--It does NOT take all day, but requires you to be there on  and off as painting and glueing are done and then drying.  IF you cannot make it, but are interested, there may be others available to help complete yours for you, so check with me!!  Anyw questions, let me know!

Thanks,

Jamie

Oct 2011 PRESIDENCY MESSAGE

(October's Theme from the Releif Society Declaration is: Sustain the priesthood as the authority of God on earth)
Dear Sisters:

This month our theme is: ‘Sustain the priesthood as the authority of God on earth.’ I hope that each of you will take a few moments this month to think about what that means, and whatever better time than as we sit through the beautiful and inspired talks of the General Authorities, the Prophets, Seers and Revelators during General Conference.

How blessed we are to have the Priesthood upon the earth. Many times I have heard of the inequality an injustice of women not having these same rights and authorities as are given to the men. Oh, how sorry I am that those who would complain do not understand the depth and glory of the Priesthood and its power for both men and women alike. It is only through the Priesthood that men and women, as husband and wife, are united to receive all that the Father has. One cannot gain without the other, and neither without the Priesthood.

Many times I have thought, “We sisters have so great a work to do already as nurturers and caretakers, a work that is just as great as the work the brothers have to do in their Priesthood roles.” And we fulfill these roles with the support of the Priesthood, to strengthen, bless, and buoy us up. It is so incredibly important that we do the same for the men of the church, our husbands, sons, and leaders, need our support and sustaining love as much as we need theirs. They need our encouragement, our faith in them, and our patience as we all strive for perfection.

So, take a minute this month and write down some blessings that have come to your life from the Priesthood and then commit to renew your support to sustain those called to lead and serve as the Lord’s Priesthood bearers upon the earth.
Love,
Jamie, Cindy, Loree, and Kathy
