G.A.B.

Mark your calendars G.A.B. is happening this coming Tuesday, January 26th @ 6:30.  It a new year and we are good time to set some goals.  We hope to help you set some financial goals with our theme of budgeting and finance.

Sis. Giles will be teaching a great class about budgeting she will help you figure out where you money is going and how to budget better!

Sis. Flynn will be teaching crafting on a budget.  She has come up with 3 simple projects.  The idea behind this is not for you to rush out and purchase needed materials rather to utilize your resources, look around your house, trade with friends, etc. 

Below is a picture of each project and the materials YOU will need to bring if you are going to make the pictured project.  Please keep in mind that this class is about 30 min. long so budget your time wisely as you probably won't have time to finish all 3.  Look for sign ups in your auxilary roles this Sunday!

G.A.B. Sessions

The following explains the way our ward will now be holding our Relief Society meetings! We are very excited about this and hope you will join in our excitement!

In the Relief Society General Meeting in September Sister Beck said,
"All of our meetings and activities are meetings of Relief Society sisters. For the past number of years, we have called additional Relief Society meetings home, family, and personal enrichment meetings. In response to concerns about the complexity of that title and the different interpretations about the purpose of those meetings, a decision has been made that the name “home, family, and personal enrichment” will be discontinued effective now. In counsel with the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, it was determined that rather than give these additional Relief Society meetings a new title, all such meetings and activities will now be referred to simply as Relief Society meetings. Individual Relief Society meetings that are held during the week can be called whatever they are: Relief Society service, classes, projects, conferences, or workshops."

Following the council of our leaders we will no longer call our weekday activities "Enrichment". They will all be called simply Relief Society Meetings. All meetings will be planned with South Meadows Sisters in mind. Our ward meetings will not be like any other Relief Society's meetings in the world. We are unique with many unique talents, personalities and trials and our meetings will reflect that. We have decided to call all weekday meetings G.A.B. (Go Away Better) Sessions to distinguish them from other activities in the ward. This name is unique to US! We hope that each sister will come and then Go Away Better, having made a new friend, maybe having learned a new skill, maybe just sitting and relaxing for a minute and recharging. We hope that as each of us leave these meetings, our faith and personal righteousness will increase, we will feel better prepared to strengthen our families and homes and we will be more prepared to serve the Lord and his children.
