Tithing settlement            

It’s time! Book your spot on Bishop Manwaring’s calendar 😊  The sign-up sheet is hanging on the clerk’s door in our church building.

 

Paying tithing is a blessing you don’t want to miss out on…

 “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”

Malachi 3:10


“The imagery of the “windows” of heaven used by Malachi is most instructive. Windows allow natural light to enter into a building. In like manner, spiritual illumination and perspective are poured out through the windows of heaven and into our lives as we honor the law of tithing.”

Elder David A. Bednar


What we’re talking about

This Sunday, Scout Benson will lead us in a discussion of Elder Ciro Schmeil’s conference address “Faith to Act and Become.”

This will be Scout’s first time leading a discussion in RS! (Let’s do our part by reading this beautiful message ahead of the discussion…) We’re so excited to hear from her before she leaves to serve a mission in November.


What we’re reading

This week our Come Follow Me reading is D&C 121-123, ““O God, Where Art Thou?”

“Your experience studying the scriptures will be richer if your goal is to uncover truth. Begin with a prayer, listen to the Spirit, and record your impressions.”


Happy Birthday to you

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
