First Sunday Lesson & Visiting Teaching Updates

Happy New Year sisters!   
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years holiday!

Visiting Teaching Message

Updated Visiting Teaching Routes were handed out on Sunday, January 5th. Please check with a member of the Relief Society Presidency if you did not get your route, or need to check if it changed.  You can also check with your VT Supervisory later this week, as they will have the lists as well. The RS Pres will be at the church this Tuesday evening, so please look for us if you need your route!


Below is the link for January visiting teaching message. Visiting teaching messages are currently focused on helping all sisters follow a higher path of discipleship.  https://www.lds.org/ensign/2014/01/the-divine-mission-of-jesus-christ-exemplar?lang=eng

Please remember to REPORT your visiting teaching to your supervisor by the end of the month. It is easiest to do right after you've met with your sisters!  However, please remember that even if you were not able to contact them we still need you to report that to your Supervisor.  Your VT Supervisor's name and phone number are listed on the top of your VT route that was handed out. If you aren't sure who you should report to, please check with either Kay Lippen (VT Coordinator) or one of the Relief Society Presidency members. We are happy to look that up for you!

First Sunday Lesson – “Rise to Your Call”

The first Sunday lessons are taught by a member of our Relief Society Presidency. This week’s lesson was taken from a talk entitled Rise to Your Call by President Henry B. Eyring (2002 October General Conference).  This is a wonderful talk that is a must read (as they all are). We learned that we are called of God, called to represent our Savior.  The Lord will guide us by revelation in our callings. Just as he has called us and will guide us, he will also magnify us.

It is so reassuring to know that the callings we have been given are where they Lord wants us to be. He wants us to rely upon His help and guidance so that we may be and do all that we can. Obedience puts us on that path and opens the floodgates of blessings.


“When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment God will endow us with power.” ~ President Ezra Taft Benson
