If we do what we are taught and follow the gospel, who knows what our potential could be.

Good Things to Come

Please remember to pause the playlist to watch the video.

"A HEAVENLY BANNER"

Sisters ,

I hope you will enjoy these Family Home Evening lessons. When we celebrated the Bicentennial of the Constitution in 1987, the Church prepared lessons for members to teach our families how important The Constitution is to us.

The Prophet Joseph Smith referred to this document as "a glorious standard" and " a heavenly banner"

The men who came together at that time in our history were foreordained to come forth at that time to establish the nation in which the Gospel and the Church could be restored.

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend.

VISITING TEACHING

Dear Sisters,

We are coming to the end of the second quarter of the year and need to send a report to Salt Lake City.

I am asking every Sister to send to your VT report to your supervisor ether Suzanna Lee sajanmlee@hotmail.com , Annette Fishel fishelam@aol.com, Angela Stephens angelbee111@hotmail.com, if sister Danette Peralta was your supervisor, and copy your report to Chelsey and to me.

Sister Chelsey Mattingley mattingleymr@aol.com is our new Visiting Teacher Leader.

I am also asking that you report all visiting teaching in the past three months so we can double check and make sure all have been counted. I know sometimes we visit our sisters and we forget to report. This will give us a second chance. We need this by the 1 of July. Thank you for all your hard work. Our Heavenly Father needs our hands and our heart to carry out his work. With out your service, we could never attent to all his children.

May God Bless your and your family.

JUNE VISITING TEACHING MESSAGE

“Renewing Covenants through the Sacrament,” Ensign, Jun 2010, 7


Teach these scriptures and quotations or, if needed, another principle that will bless the sisters you visit. Bear testimony of the doctrine. Invite those you visit to share what they have felt and learned.


Jesus Christ Instituted the Sacrament

“Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to his Apostles, saying, ‘Take, eat’ (Matt. 26:26). ‘This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me’ (Luke 22:19). In a similar manner he took the cup of wine, traditionally diluted with water, said a blessing of thanks for it, and passed it to those gathered about him, saying: ‘This cup is the new testament in my blood,’ ‘which is shed … for the remission of sins.’ ‘This do in remembrance of me.’ …

“Since that upper room experience on the eve of Gethsemane and Golgotha, children of the promise have been under covenant to remember Christ’s sacrifice in this newer, higher, more holy and personal way.”1

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.


We Renew Our Baptismal Covenants through the Sacrament

“When we are baptized, we take upon ourselves the sacred name of Jesus Christ. Taking upon us His name is one of the most significant experiences we have in life …

“Each week in sacrament meeting we promise to remember the atoning sacrifice of our Savior as we renew our baptismal covenant. We promise to do as the Savior did—to be obedient to the Father and always keep His commandments. The blessing we receive in return is to always have His Spirit to be with us.”2

Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

“I was with an eight-year-old girl on the day of her baptism. At the end of the day she said with all confidence, ‘I have been baptized for a whole day, and I haven’t sinned once!’ But her perfect day did not last forever, and I am sure she is learning by now, like we all learn, that as hard as we try, we do not always avoid every bad situation, every wrong choice …


“… It is not possible to make real change all by ourselves. Our own willpower and our own good intentions are not enough. When we make mistakes or choose poorly, we must have the help of our Savior to get back on track. We partake of the sacrament week after week to show our faith in His power to change us. We confess our sins and promise to forsake them.”3

Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president.

Helps for Visiting Teaching

As you come to know a sister and her family, look for ways you might help her renew her covenants through the sacrament. If she does not attend sacrament meeting, could you invite her to attend or offer help for her to do so (transportation, assistance with children, a friend to sit by, and so on)?
