Announcements for November 26, 2017

Congratulations!! --You found your way to our new RS blog!!  This will run just the same as the e mail announcements, except you will have to remember to come to this address  so you can check out the announcements for the week!  I will try to have the weekly installment posted by Sunday evening!!  Please spread the word to other sisters in the ward, so they know where to find this.  Thanks! 

From our Lesson - 
Throughout history, God has associated certain mighty works with the Sabbath. These mighty works include the Creation (see Genesis 2:1–3), the exodus of the children of Israel from Egypt (see Deuteronomy 5:15), and the Savior’s Resurrection (see John 20:1–19; Acts 20:7). --We invite you to read these passages of scripture and ponder the following questions. -- What are some of the mighty works that God has done for you? How can we remember these things on the Sabbath day?

Light The World -  We are excited to encourage you to participate in the "Light The World" initiative again this year.  The church has given us a lot of resources  and suggestions of how we can help share His light during the Christmas Season.  We encourage you to go to LDS.org and check out the resources there to help you Light The World in 25 ways over 25 days!!   Here is a link to The Light The World site - 

 Light The World 

 ***Also, those of you who have the Gospel Library app there is a "Light The World" folder on the front page.  If you click on it, it has a list of the 25 days and for each day it has a short summary of an idea of how to Light The World for that day, and also a 1-2 minute video to inspire you in your efforts.  We encourage you to watch this short video to start your day.  (These can also be found at LDS.org )  

Suggestion Box Reminder --Sisters, with the new curriculum that we will be implementing next year for our Relief Society lessons, the First Sunday of each month will be a discussion of topics of concern for the sisters and families in our ward and area.  --As a presidency, we are seeking your input.  These discussions are to help YOU and we need to know what topics are on your mind.  Please write something up and put in the suggestion box in RS or feel free to contact one of the presidency by phone, text or e mail.  We value your input.
