Finally - AN UPDATE ON THE VISITING TEACHING WORKSHOP


So sorry sisters this has taken so long to be published - it's nearly a month since our Visiting Teaching Workshop and Rach wrote a lovely blurb and sent all these photos to be put on but I had a middle-aged computer blank with putting the photos into the blog!! I have FINALLY pinned my husband down (it can be really difficult sometimes) who only had to sit down with me for 30 seconds and the problem was solved - so after that very long-winded introduction here comes the post on the Visiting Teaching Workshop held last month.
">We had a lovely evening on Thursday night for the Visiting Teaching Workshop and dinner.
It was wonderful to see so many sisters there, enjoying the meal and each other's company.
We began the evening with an item from our beautiful YSA choir who sang 'The Olive Tree'. It was the perfect way to open the meeting. (Sorry I didn't get a photo of that)





Dinner was simple yet lovely, thank you to all who helped, especially those who volunteered to do dishes!!!

Our theme for the evening was 'Feed my Sheep'. We spoke of the importance of being nourished ourselves before we can nourish others - physically and spiritually. The Saviour fed His disciples physically, then He fed them spiritually as He taught them the Gospel. As Visiting Teachers we need to be mindful of feeding our sheep (our sisters) and being worthy of the Holy Ghost as our companion so we can serve more effectively.

I encourage you all to continue the wonderful service you provide through your Visiting Teaching. To those who struggle with their assignments, have a go, do your best, the Lord will bless you and provide a way if you try.
