January Presidency Message


Sisters,

   It’s been wonderful to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and bring in the New Year with a renewed hope in the gospel and in ourselves.  I’m sure many of you, after having the opportunity to reflect upon the Saviors birth and his life, brought with you new commitments coming into the New Year to be more like him, to emulate him and to have your actions reflect your beliefs.

   The topic of discussion for Presidency lessons this year will be focused on women in the scriptures.  It will be a great opportunity to learn of these women, their strengths, and their weakness and find ways to emulate their examples in righteous living.  It’s my hope that this year we will be able to strengthen, even more so, our relationships within our Ward sisterhood by finding joy in our individuality, personalities and talents, and strive to lift one another through encouragement and positive interaction.

   I have a scripture taped to my cupboard (along with several others) to remind me of what my actions should reflect daily.   Philippians 1:27 “Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel”.

   I hope we all can add this to our resolutions this year, to become more united in our Sisterhood and that our actions will reflect our beliefs.

   May the Light of Christ radiate through all that you do.

Love,

Shelly Ward,  Secretary
