September Announcements

We are very excited about some fantastic classes that we will be having this month and in the future. There will be more opportunity to be together for learning and to be uplifted by each other. These classes are meant to supplement our Sunday worship and fellowship. There is so much to do and learn and one day a week just isn't always enough. As you plan your month hopefully you can include these activities on your personal calendar as well. We hope that this will help us stay connected with each other and learn all that we can. We have so many talented people in our ward who are willing to share what they know with us. If you have something that you are willing to share or something you want to learn please let a member of the Relief Society Presidency know. We hope you will stay connected with the sisters in our ward by coming to some activities. Invite those you visit teach to come with you as well as other friends. We look forward to being with you more during the week to increase our unity and sisterhood.
