Relief Society Theme and Challenge

Happy New Year! Spending the morning in church was such a great way to start off the new year. I am so excited to study the Book of Mormon this year and excited about the theme we've chosen for Relief Society. For those that weren't in RS today our theme for the year will be:
The Purpose of Relief Society: Increase faith and personal righteousness
Strengthen families and homes
Seek out and help those in need
Our activities throughout the year will focus on these three areas and LaDean has given ALL sisters a challenge with a great reward!
Read the Book of Mormon daily and have it finished by October and attend the temple once a month.
For all those that meet this goal we will be going to the Bailey's cabin for an overnight retreat!
This will be a great getaway and really just a little extra bonus to the great blessing we will already be receiving!

The Bishop asked us in Sacrament meeting today to remember Emily Brannelly in our prayers and fasting next Sunday. She is still struggling with her ankle and has some tough decisions ahead of her.

Thanks to all how did their VT in December! We had 100% (thanks to a little extra help from our VT coordinator). Let's keep up our efforts throughout the year. Our sisters need us!!
