4. Enrichment Meeting will be held on Friday 25 July, 6.30 pm at the Chapel.
5. Family History week is coming up early in August - see Brother Keith for more details.
6. We farewelled Sister June who is leaving this week to head up the north-west coast to live closer to family. We will miss her and are so grateful for her talents and dedication that have been a great asset to us in Relief Society.
7. We had a visiting teaching minute with Sister Barbara who went through the message for July - interesting one!
8. Miriam led us in a discussion regarding the meaning of the Sacrament. She spoke about the passover. We were asked to think about what we can do to meet President Prebble's challenge to take a few minutes on a Saturday evening to prepare to partake worthily of the Sacrament on the sabbath. We discussed the need to have a pure heart, clean hands. Several scripture passages were read including Mark 14:20-25 and 1 Corinthians 11:27-30. Ways we can prepare might include:-
a. listening to uplifting music
b. going through the Preach My Gospel checklist for developing Christlike attributes
c. looking at goals we have set and seeing what areas we need to improve on
d. repenting.
9. Several sisters shared their testimonies to conclude our meeting.
