In this lesson, President Hunter wants to teach us to understand the significance of the sacrament and it's connection to the ancient celebration of the Passover and to review the Savior's introduction of this ordinance during a Passover meal with his disciples. Come join us for this discussion.
"As [Jesus] took the bread and broke it, and took the cup and blessed it, he was presenting himself as the Lamb of God who would provide spiritual nourishment and eternal salvation."

Visiting Teaching
Sisters we will be studying Chapter 7 from Daughters in My Kingdom tomorrow in Relief Society along with the 2000 General Conference talk from Virginia U Jensen titled "Ripples."
We will have a fun quiz about the origins of Relief Society and Visiting Teaching with prizes so reading will reap prizes as well as blessings! :)
Please follow the two links below for your reading preparation.

Thoughts to ponder from this chapter:
"The Savior calls His disciples to work with Him in His ministry, giving them the opportunity to serve others and become more like Him. In Relief Society, each sister has the opportunity to watch over and strengthen sisters one by one through visiting teaching. Sister Julie B. Beck, the fifteenth Relief Society general president, said, “Because we follow the example and teachings of Jesus Christ, we value this sacred assignment to love, know, serve, understand,"

Thoughts to ponder from this talk:
"Like the expanding circles our pebbles made on Jackson Lake, the actions of righteous women ripple on and on through time and space and even generations. These righteous actions come from our understanding of the divine mission of Jesus Christ, our knowledge of the gospel plan, our obedience to eternal commandments, and our work in this, the kingdom of God on earth."
Sisters, I have a testimony of the divinely inspired program of Visiting Teaching and look forward to discussing this important assignment,while encouraging and strengthening one another.
Love, Sister Marstella

"I Was A Stranger"
Our R.S. Lesson for July 24 is from a conference talk by Sister Linda K. burton, Relief Society General President titled "I Was A Stranger".
On the day Relief Society was organized Emma Smith declared, " We are going to do something extraordinary...we expect Extraordinary occasions and pressing calls". Those pressing calls and extraordinary occasions presented themselves frequently then...as they do now.
Sister Burton also referenced a talk given by President Henry B. Eyring, " The Caregiver". In the November 2012 Ensign. We will be discussing how we love and teach one another.

"Whoso Receiveth Them, Receiveth Me"
Sisters,
I am excited to lead our discussion on Sunday about Elder Neil L. Anderson's talk "Whoso Receiveth Them, Receiveth Me". I love this apostle, he has such a kind and loving spirit. He quotes the Savior "Suffer the little children...to come unto me: for such is the kingdom of heaven". His talk is very relevant to this dispensation. He educated us about the changing times and the relevance of our kindness and sensitivity towards children. Please read the talk and plan to share your experiences regarding this topic.
Love, Shirlee

"In Praise of Those Who Save" -- President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
“Joseph Smith restored the precious truth that marriages and families are meant to be eternal.”
“Strong marriage and family relationships require constant, intentional work.”
Reflect on your own marriage and family relationships. (With children, parents, siblings, etc.) What can you personally do to increase the love and strengthen the relationship?
“Great marriages are built brick by brick, day after day, over a lifetime… If it appears to take forever, remember: happy marriages are meant to last forever!”
“Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Abraham Lincoln
“There is not one solution that covers every situation. Those who save their families are successful because they counsel with their spouse and family, seek the will of the Lord, and listen for the promptings of the Holy Ghost. They know that what is right for one family may not be right for another.”
Come with your own ideas and personal experiences on how to strengthen family relationships and bring everyone closer to each other and to their Savior!
