Forget Me Not Highlights!

This past week we had our Relief Society "Forget Me Not" Garden Tea Party

 What an delightful, spiritual and fun experience.  

A special Thank you to the Krogue's for lending their home & to Susan for leading our discussion.

Thank you also to those ladies who were able to come and participate in this activity. Your insights were inspiring.

Elder Uchtdorf Listed 5 things we Shouldn't Forget:

1) Forget Not to by Patient with Yourself

2) Forget not the difference between a Good Sacrifice and a Foolish One

3) Forget Not to be Happy Now

4) Forget Not the WHY of the Gospel

5) Forget Not that the LORD Loves YOU

My Body is a Temple ~ May Relief Society Meeting

You are like the temple. You are different from everyone else, but you too are a house for the Spirit of God—the Holy Ghost. The Apostle Paul said: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? … The temple of God is holy, which temple ye are” (1 Corinthians 3:16–17). Your body is a temple for your spirit. Just as you treat temples with respect, you should treat your body with respect.

This month we will be discussing how our amazing bodies are temples for our holy spirits, and then pampering our bodies with facials, hand and foot treatments and information on ways to naturally help rejuvenation our bodies.

Date: Thursday, May 24, 2012

Time: 6:30 pm

Please do your best to be on time so that everyone can hear and participate in our spiritual message.
