FAITH

Lesson Review: "Reflections on the Mission of Jesus Christ" (Lorenzo Snow - Ch 24)

Key Doctrine: "Jesus Christ came into the world to do the will of the Father and open the way for our peace, happiness, and exaltation."

Invitation to Action:  As you ponder the Savior's desire to "seek the honor and glory of His father," think about what you need to do to follow God's will.

Promised Blessings: Jesus Christ sought "the honor and glory of His Father, and to accomplish the work of His Father who sent Him. Herein lay the secret of His prosperity; and herein lies the secret of the prosperity of every individual who works upon the same principle."

FAMILY

If you are looking for more Christmas-centered family activities, you may want to consider attending the Ritchie's live Nativity that they do every year! Many ward members are participating in this production.

Times for the nativity are every Monday night until Christmas, at 6:15 and again at 7:00.  Also December 22nd at the same times, and on Christmas Eve at 5:15 and 6:00.

Dress warm and enjoy the Christmas program and the treats following!

 

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND CHRISTMAS SEASON SPENT WITH YOUR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES!!!!

Announcements:

* The last couple of weeks have been so wonderful with our incredible ward Christmas Open House, and this last week with the Cantata that we attended at the Lutheran Church!  We had such a great turn-out, and everyone seemed to enjoy that opportunity very much.  Thanks for coming, to everyone who could attend that!  Hopefully the rest of you can come next year!!

*Next year, our meeting times will be changing to 9:00 a.m. and meetings will proceed in the same order with sacrament meeting first.
