CES Devotional Broadcast, Sunday, March 3

Our speaker will be Elder David A. Bednar.   The broadcast will be held at the Greenfield Stake Center, located at 2740 S. Lindsay Road, Gilbert, at 7:00p.  Elder Bednar's youngest son, Jeffrey, once said of his father, "Since I was little, Dad taught me to set goals and exercise faith."  Jeff also said, "I want people to know that he is an ordinary man who can do extraordinary things because of the strength of the Lord.  He is a living witness of the enabling power of the Atonement." (lds.org/Prophets - and -Apostles)  Please join us for an extraordinary evening with a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Sisters, just a quick reminder about an amazing weekend ahead.  First, make sure you have plans for joining us on Saturday (Feb 16) for the stake Valentine party at Ft McDowell (see post below).  And then on Sunday (Feb 17) don't forget about the terrific fireside featuring the heartfelt testimony of a Major League Baseball player (see post below).  Hope to see everyone there!

Cleaning our Ward Building

Please come help next Saturday at 9:00a in cleaning our ward building.  President Thomas S. Monson once said,  "We become so caught up in the busyness of our lives.  Were we to step back, however, and take a good look at what we're doing, we may find that we have immersed ourselves in the "thick of thin things."  (Oct 2009).  What about you?  Any "thin things" on a Saturday morning you could sort through and come help serve?  We could really use your help ... and blessings will surely come your way.  No doubt about it.

FHE--"Cops & Robber" ... or Valentine Cookies??

In Relief Society we had an announcement about Family Home Evening tomorrow night (Monday, Feb. 11) and it wasn't clear whether we would be having a "Cops & Robbers" activity or whether we would be decorating Valentine cookies.  Ummmmmm.  Maybe you better just come and see which activity wins out!  Come on.  See you there at 7:00p at the church building on Higley.
