Special training from the Brethren!! Observance of the Sabbath and The Sacrament...

We have been well taught from the First Presidency and the 12, about the concerns they have for us about keeping the Sabbath Day Holy and taking the Sacrament with a true broken heart and contrite spirit.  They made this the focus for the training which took place just before our General Conference in April. 
They feel that if we will all take this subject seriously and will teach our families to do the same that Spirituality will increase throughout the church.  These brethren are so educated and inspired to teach us and to help us during our journey here on this earth.  They are afraid for us.  They know the world.  They know what we are facing.  They are our biggest supporters and know what we need. 
The sacrament is an ordinance that we can participate in every week.  We can renew our promises to our Heavenly Father each and every week.  We can promise to improve and try to do better.  What a blessing it is to be able to have this sacred ordinance available to us each week.  They promise us that if we will follow the Lord's plan for us, we will be happy!!  Attending our meetings, especially Sacrament Meeting gives us this great opportunity. 

What did we do in the pre-moral world? Church meetings?? Seminary? Question #2

Prophets of the Restoration have declared that priesthood authority and Church organization existed in the pre-mortal courts of the Father.  Joseph Smith taught--The Priesthood is an everlasting principle, and existed with God from eternity, and will to eternity, without beginning of days or end of years.  The keys have to be brought from heaven whenever the Gospel is sent.
The prophet clearly states that priesthood is eternal, and that through the eternal channel comes the knowledge and instruction necessary to prepare the spirit children of God for eventual exaltation.  Just as the Church is the Kingdom of God on earth, there is a kingdom of God in heaven--a church organization of some sort that, by the power of the priesthood, administers the work of preparation and salvation within that sphere.  President Joseph Fielding Smith taught:
It is reasonable to believe that there was a Church organization there.  The heavenly beings were living in a perfectly arranged society.  Every person knew his place.  Priesthood,, without question, had been conferred and the leaders were chosen to officiate.  Ordinances pertaining to that pre-existence were required and the love of God prevailed. Even before they were born, the children of God received their first lessons in the world of the spirits and were prepared to come forth in the due time of the Lord--D&C 138:33-34.  What were those--first lessons?  The gospel of Jesus Christ, of course!  The same gospel and principles of salvation taught on earth and in the postmoral world of spirits.

Great things to think about!!!

Upcoming events!!

We don't have many upcoming events scheduled for right now.  We have the float we need to be working on for the 24th parade.  We also will be having a ward party soon too.  We will be getting you the details soon.  Stay tuned!!!

Just to let you know...

Cute Sister Corrine Emery went through the temple for the first time this last month.  She is one of the cutest ladies I know.  We are so blessed to have her in our Ward and Relief Society.  It was a great privilege to attend the temple with her and see the joy of being sealed to her husband and children.  She, along with several others ladies in our ward are such great examples of NEVER GIVING UP no matter what.  Age doesn't or shouldn't make any difference as to our commitment to the gospel and to the covenants we make with our Heavenly Father.  We love you Corrine.  Great example to us all!!

Holy Cow!! It's been forever!! We have new people!!!
