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.
