RS Birthday---a "twisting" good time

We had a wonderful time at our RS birthday dinner last month. The theme of the dinner was D.O.T.S (Depending on the Savior).

We had a wonderful dinner provided by the RS Presidency and the RS birthday dinner committee (Leisa Carling, Kathy Taylor, Bailee Wilcox, Jamie Monroe and Shaylee Whitaker--a special thanks to them all).

We played a really fun game of twister and sadly I didn't get any pictures, as I was playing in the game, but congrats to Charity Tingey and Heidi Culley who were the last two standing.

Leisa Carling related playing twister to the theme Depending on the Savior. She read a poem that she had written especially for this night.

"Sometimes our choices can get us in a bind...

When we're feeling under pressure we may not always act real kind...

Sometimes we feel like we're twisted up in knots...

Sometimes we may forget what the Savior always taught.

Thank goodness for DOTS (depend on the Savior) .com...

You will never drop service with DOTS.com in the cloud.

You can phone, tweet or Facebook or even pray out loud...

It's as easy as a breeze, just get down on your knees...

And don't forget to pause and listen to the spirit's gentle pleas."

Everything was decorated so cute with dots, even down to the yummy dessert.

After dessert we were inspired by a beautiful story by Sister Connie Martin to end this wonderful night.

Again thanks to everyone who came and to all who helped make this a beautiful night.

Don't forget our next activity on Tuesday April 9 at 7:00. We will be learning a few helpful tips from different sisters in our ward. There will be refreshments and babysitting available. We will also be playing a fun trivia game with prizes.

Hope to see you all there!!

QUOTES~~THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH

RAISE YOUR TITLE OF LIBERTY

We read in the scriptures about Captain Moroni, and how he rent his coat and wrote upon it those things in which he believed, valued, stood for and in essence was willing to fight for. This is what he wrote..."In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children."

As families and individuals we invite you to raise your title of Liberty just as Captain Moroni did, by choosing a family motto/saying/scripture, etc. It can be that in which you believe, value, and in essence are willing to work and stand for. We encourage you to come up with your title of liberty and have it in your home where you can be reminded on a daily basis as was Captain Moroni and his people, for Captain Moroni had it hosted upon every tower in the land. Your Title of Liberty can be changed as often as needed. We have been asked to do this by our stake leaders and we hope you will all take the opportunity to strengthen your families, homes, and you individually as you Raise Your Title of Liberty.

Here are a few suggestions: Print the words that you want and put it in a frame. Vinyl could be put on a tile, wood board or on the wall. It could be a picture, or a banner/flag that hangs in the home or it could be a wall hanging.

We are asked to bring your Title of Liberty to the ward harvest dinner to display.

VISITING TEACHING

Visiting
Teaching Thought: "As sister's in Zion, we'll all work together; The blessing of God on our labors we'll seek. We'll build up his kingdom with earnest endeavor; We'll comfort the weary and strengthen the weak. The errand of angels is given to women; And this is a gift that, as sisters, we claim; To do whatsoever is gentle and human, to cheer and to bless in humanity's name."

As sisters in the Fillmore 4th ward, we sing this song often in our meetings, but more importantly than singing these words is that the sisters carry out this message in real life in the visiting teaching program. Every day there is proof that I hear of sisters extending a hand to those around them in the form of meals, a ride to the doctor, babysitting, play dates in the park with young mothers, a listening sympathetic ear, a shoulder to cry on, and in countless other ways. We still have many around us that are lonely, sick, outside the fold of the gospel, who need our loving arms to surround them, our hands to lift up, our backs to help carry their burdens, our hearts to care for and love. Pray for inspiration to know what you can do to help even more, those sisters you visit. It truly is an errand of angels. May the Lord bless us all to do "whatsoever is gentle and human, to cheer and to bless..."

Please invite the sisters you visit to come to our Super Saturday on August 24.
