Basore Funeral

Brother Basore's viewing/funeral will be at the church on Monday, Feb 14. The food assignments were given out by Kim Fulford. Please have your food at the church by noon.

Robyn Kanis is hosting a food storage Tasting party

Sister Kanis is a representative from Shelf Reliance--a food storage supplier. She is having a tasting party in March and everyone is welcome to attend. You can sample the food storage before buying--so it takes the risk out of the purchase! It's also fun to gather with others and come up w/ creative ways of incorporating food storage into our family's menu plans!!!

In fact, I'm using Taco TVP to make nachos for my family today--and I got the Taco TVP from Shelf Reliance. Easy and yummy!

Get with Sister Kanis if you need more information, or click on this picture of the invite--to see the information in greater detail. She would like a head count in advance, so she knows how much food to prepare--so let her know. You can invite your friends and neighbors as an opportunity to figure out another way of storing food!!!

Notes for February/March

If you want to participate in carpool for Stake Conference at the end of the month--please contact the Lampiers. They are coordinating drivers/riders for the adult session and the Sunday session of Stake Conference. Because the parking lot is expected to be full--they are encouraging us to carpool.

The Fast Sunday in March we will do our V/T Conference. During our 3rd hour--all the sisters will be in the Relief Society meeting. We plan on having the meeting in the cultural hall.

Why Memorize?

“I have discovered that many times you don’t fully understand a scripture until you memorize it. And sometimes I have memorized a passage because it seemed important and valuable to me—then afterwards I discovered deeper meanings that I hadn’t even known were there. When you find a passage that particularly impresses you, consider taking the time to commit it to memory, word perfect. Then not only will you be able to remember it, but you will probably grow in your understanding as well. But that’s not all. By memorizing scripture you show the Lord that you esteem his words to be of great value—and then He will be more likely to speak to you and give you more.” (Elder Gene R. Cook, Searching the Scriptures, pg.14)

Memorize "The Living Christ"

Week 1's challenge:

“As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millennia ago we offer our testimony of the reality of His
matchless life and the infinite virtue of His great atoning sacrifice. None other has had so profound an influence
upon all who have lived and will yet live upon the earth.”
