Temple
Theme:
One of our
goals as a Relief Society Presidency and the focus of our Stake Relief Society
Presidency is to get sisters to the temple, so when I found this video of President Monson talking about the
purpose and importance of temples, I had to share it. Please watch it when you
have a chance!

Lesson
Recap: Public Relations Presentation
For our fifth Sunday meeting this month the Stake Public Relations Committee presented us with material that the Church would like us to share with non-members, particularly those who could influence the publics' image of us for good. Brother Jeff Shields from the Stake Presidency explained that the Church is trying to take advantage of our "Mormon moment" to improve our image, as opposed to proselyting with this program.
We have been asked to seek out opportunities to cultivate relationships with people who have influence and would benefit from the presentation that the Church's public affairs department has created. The Stake committee shared some of the videos and information with us that are in the presentation and they can be found here:
