What happened on Sunday

1. It was lovely to see so many sisters in Relief Society today. Welcome back to Sadie.

2. Announcements:-
a. Stake Conference 6 - 8 February
- Family Activity Friday evening

3. Enrichment Activities starting again - see separate post.

4. Brother Steve came in and talked to the sisters about ordering wheat and containers. Please contact Steve with details of how much wheat you are interested in purchasing.

4. Belle will be the only member of the Relief Society Presidency in our Ward next week. Please look after her. Janet will be teaching Lesson 26 of the Joseph Smith Manual as Bishop wants to have a special combined Relief Society and Priesthood meeting on the 15th February, so we have swapped lessons around. Sister Diana will be conducting Relief Society next week - please be kind to her!

5. 5 Minute Music with Diana this week helped us learn about Hymn 185 Reverently & Meekly Now. It is the only Sacrament hymn that the words are written as if the Savior were speaking. She shared with us some information about Joseph Townsend who wrote the words to this hymn, and Ebenezer beesley who composed the music.

6. Sister Kristie led us in the lesson today from Elder Oak's talk entitled "Sacrament Meeting and the Sacrament". Elder Oakes reminds us of the way in which we need to remember to dress and behavior as we attend sacrament meeting and partake of the Sacrament. He reminds us that it is the only Sabbath meeting the entire family can attend together. We were reminded to be seated well before the meeting begins and prayfully meditate as we prepare to partake of the Sacrament. What a blessing it is in our lives to partake of the Sacrament each week.
