Relief Society Updates
Since Jodi is gone to China for 2 1/2 weeks, I guess I had better update the blog.
Our lesson was number 17: " The Church of Jesus Christ Today"
It was taught by our newest teacher, Shanna Bingham. We welcome her and she did a great job. Thank you Shanna. The Church of Jesus Christ was taken from the earth after the death of Jesus Christ, and the death of His Apostles. That was the era known as the dark ages. For 1700 years there was spiritual darkness. The gospel was restored through Joseph Smith on April 6, 1830. We again had revelation, authority and the priesthood. The Church today is called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint. It will never be destroyed or taken from the earth again. Its mission is to take the truth to every person though out the world.

Birthdays: 22nd, Shanna Bingham. Happy Birthday to her.

Becky Ecton is teaching the lesson today. In her lesson she is sharing this quote by President Julie Beck:
"I feel a great urgency for the daughters of God to do all they need to do to strengthen and lift not only themselves, their families, sisters who are in their wards, but also the world. I feel that the sisters in this church who know and understand their covenants will be a significant force in helping this world, which seems to have lost it's moral moorings." President Julie Beck.

The lesson today is lesson #15, “The Lord’s Covenant People.”
“As the Lord’s covenant people, we should keep His commandments. The Lord said, ‘I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise’ (D&C 82:10). If we reject our covenant after accepting the gospel, the covenant becomes void and we will stand condemned before God (see D&C 132:4). He has said; ’Refrain from sin, lest sore judgments fall upon your heads. For of him unto whom much is given much is required; and he who sins against the greater light shall receive the greater condemnation” (D&C 82:2-3).

Announcements:
• Father’s and Son’s overnighter at Camp Kiesel.

Good News Update
• Laurie announced how well her family did at the South Weber Days 10K. Patrick took 1st in his category, Laurie took 2nd and Bishop took 3rd. Way to go Drean family! We also found out our Cedar Bench Ward had a great representation at the 10k.
• Kristin Howes was happy that they have two finished bedrooms downstairs. (We as a presidency got a peak at the new rooms this past week and they look great).
• Sandy shared the news that her oldest son is planning on going through the temple in October. What a wonderful blessing for their family.

Jodi Dallof is teaching the lesson today titled “As I Have Loved You Love One Another.” In a recent Auxiliary Training meeting we were encouraged to remember our Savior and his example as we visit our sisters. Jesus dedicated his life to doing the work of our Heavenly Father. In humility he gave of himself, by manifesting the greatest love of all mankind. During his brief life on this earth he demonstrated the best example of loving service, even to the end of his life at the last supper when he washed his disciple’s feet. In John Chapter 13 we read the touching account about how he teaches by example as he washes the feet of his disciples, then gives the commandment to Love one another as He has done. He also tells us how happy we will be if we follow his example in John 13:17 “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.”
Remember to “Love one another as He has loved us,” (John 13 34) and not only will we feel that joy in our lives, but that love and joy will spread to others around us.
We share a lot of love, as we have witnessed time and time again in this ward. The service rendered to each other is proof of the love that you have for our Savior and for each other.
In our ward there are many friendships, old ones and new ones being created. There is love among us through the loving compassionate service of all of you sisters, and there is enough love and strength that we can reach out past our ward boundaries and help others. I pray we always remember to follow our Saviors example and serve with humility. We love you sisters for all you do. May you all be blessed for your good works.

Announcements:
• Cookbooks are in, and Melissa Griffiths has them! Please contact her for your copy. They are great!
• August 2-15 Ogden Temple closed for cleaning
• August 5 Pot luck at Becky Ecton’s Home
