Farewell

Dear Lehi 44th Branch Sisters,

As most of you may already know, Sisters Holland, Pickett, and Bishara have been released as your Relief Society presidency. We have so enjoyed our time serving you as your Relief Society presidency these past 2 1/2 years. We have come to know and love each of you and are grateful for the opportunity our Father in Heaven gave us to be able to do that. Though we will miss serving you in this aspect, we look forward to having more opportunities to serve you in other ways. 

Sister Barney has been called as our new Relief Society president and we look forward to supporting her in her new calling. We welcome her back to Relief Society as she has been serving in Nursery. As she has opportunity to call her counselors, we look forward to supporting them as well.

We love you and look forward to still seeing your beautiful shining faces at church and activities!

Love, Sisters Holland, Pickett, and Bishara

Feb 5, 2012 Lesson Summary

Leadership Instruction: Sister Holland

"Daughters in My Kingdom", a book that was released last fall, details in history and work of Relief Society and will help the women of the church learn about their important role as a daughter of their Heavenly Father. Women can learn many important things from the history of Relief Society.

I want to share the 5 things with you today.

1. Relief Society strengthens and supports women in their identity as daughters of God.
2. Relief Society is a restoration of an ancient patter of discipleship.
3. Relief Society, when it functions properly, is a manifestation of charity.
4. History of Relief Society is a history of noble, faithful women.
5. Through Relief Society, women learn about and see strengthened by an inseparable connection with the priesthood.

We worked together as sisters in class to build something with blocks - here is what we built:

We found it interesting that it ended up looking like a temple.
