Lesson #2 summary - manual

Sister Melow taught our lesson today - 


 She read and briefly talked about the 4 main headings in the lesson but Sister Melow put her focus on the attributes of Christ. She reminded us how easy it is to see these attributes in others but not so easy in ourselves. She handed out this Attributes activity paper that can be found on LDS.org

It lists 9 different attributes with supporting "explanations" and scriptures. Instead of focusing where we lacked she asked us to set aside our humility for the reminder of the class and name one thing in each category that we are already doing that displays this attribute. 

Several sisters shared and it was a wonderful way of building ourselves up in a good way and a way to better our self talk. 

Print off the sheet - it would make a wonderful FHE!

2014 - Sending out an SOS - our theme for the year

Dear Adams Park Ward Sisters-
Welcome to 2014! A year we hope is filled with opportunities and blessings for your families!
As we reflect back on our Relief Society theme last year: "Find JOY in your journey", we felt 
like it was important to keep our focus on joy (because counting our blessings should always 
be important in our lives), but narrow our direction to the source of true joy -- Jesus Christ. So 
throughout this next year we hope to support one another in a more concentrated focus on a 
journey to Seek Our Savior. (SOS)

We encourage you to create a personal SOS plan to develop a closer relationship with the Savior this year. All of us face different life circumstances and situations. We all need strength in dealing with them. This strength comes from faith in the Savior's love and in the power of His atonement.If we truly Seek Our Savior -- daily, weekly, monthly, and let it become a part of us -- we will be happier, our testimony will increase, and we will draw closer in our relationship to our Savior.Remember: "When you choose to follow Christ, you choose to be changed." -Ezra Taft Benson

May we each feel of His loving guidance and influence-
Sister Snow
