Teaching For Our Times

Sisters,

This week our lesson will focus on "Hastening the Lord's Game Plan," from Elder Gifford Nielsen message in October 2013 General Conference. Elder Nielsen encourages us all to put think about our personal "game plan" for sharing the gospel and participating in missionary work. 

As you prepare for our discussion, please think about your "strategy" for the work. I hope we can share our success stories of member missionary work and encourage each other to reach outside ourselves to share the love of our Savior!

See you Sunday!

Love,

Annie Reid

Father's Day is Sunday, June 15th!

Joseph Fielding Smith, Chapter 11

Dear Sisters,

Our discussion topic this Sunday is “Honoring the Priesthood Keys Restored through Joseph Smith” and is found in Chapter 11 of Joseph Fielding Smith, The Teachings of President of the Church.

Since we had a great discussion last month on the Priesthood, I would like for us to focus on two concepts found in Chapter 11 this Sunday. Those two concepts are Honor and Keys.  As you consider these please ask yourself the following questions: 

• What is the difference between holding an office in the priesthood and holding priesthood keys? 
• How do we honor the priesthood?

I look forward to discussing this subject with you on Sunday.

Ladies, Time Out for Women is coming to our area again this September along with Time Out for Girls. If you've ever attended you'll know that this is an opportunity to build yourself up and come away stronger. It's an opportunity to go with a group of friends, or go alone and make new friends there.  See their website for more information.

Joseph Fielding Smith, Chapter 10, "Our Search For Truth"

Joseph Fielding Smith said, "Our sole objective, where the truths of salvation are concerned, should be to find out what the Lord has revealed and then to believe and act accordingly.

If we will follow the spirit of light, the spirit of truth, the spirit that is set forth in the revelations of the Lord; if we will, through the spirit of prayer and humility, seek for the guidance of the Holy Ghost, the Lord will increase our light and our understanding; so that we shall have the spirit of discernment, we shall understand the truth, we shall know falsehood when we see it, and we shall not be deceived."

Sisters please be thinking about laws, principles or truths that have been saving in nature for you or have had an impact on your life.

Love,

Karen Armstrong
