Today is Fathers day & it's a wonderful time to honour not only our earthly Fathers but our Priesthood, young, middle aged, old & still going strong. Now you're probably wondering what the photo represents. Well I'll keep you guessing for a bit! There are many Priesthood Officers who serve us, The Prophet, Quorum of the Twelve, Stake President, Bishopric, Home Teachers & immediate Priesthood as in your Father, Husband, Son, Grandson or Nephew, just to name a handful. Without the Priesthood we would not have the Church today. What blessings have you received through Priesthood ordinances? Sometimes we don't always obtain the blessings we desire BUT God will somewhere along the line. We have to trust in him. Sometimes it's about teaching us to be humbe, patient and understanding. The Priesthood benefits all church members. They are connected (plugged in) to the powers of Heaven, hence the power chord.
D & C 68:4 'And whatsoever they shall speak when moved upon by the Holy Ghost shall be scripture, shall be the will of the Lord, shall be the mind of the Lord, shall be the word of the Lord, shall be the voice of the Lord and the power of God unto salvation.'
What can you do to the honour the Priesthood? We can strengthen the Church by supporting the leaders in our Ward & Stake by accepting callings & assignments willingly & fulfilling them
faithfully. If we only think about it as that call from the Priesthood is a call from the Lord.
faithfully. If we only think about it as that call from the Priesthood is a call from the Lord.
Sisters pray for our wonderful Priesthood. They need our strength. They have a huge role to play on earth at this time & in particular in our Ward. We cannot do without them & likewise they need our support and love.
Today write a note to a Priesthood Officer, young or old & let them know how much you care & how much their example means to you. It's up to us Sisters to help them and I'm sure we will see the strength and blessings that come along.

September is the month for collecting clothing for your 72 hour pack. If you already have clothes in your pack, you'd best check if they have been there for a long time, because you may have changed your shape or maybe not. If you have any clothes that don't fit & are cleaning out, seeing it is spring, send them to Sister Cathy Reeve as she is collecting clothing items for the St Leonards Primary School Fair.
Please keep donating to the knitting basket. If anyone would like some wool to knit items for the basket please let me know.
Have a great week & don't forget next weeks lesson is Revelation and the Living Prophet.
