6. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Scriptures
We would like all of you Relief Society sisters to have the
opportunity to share your testimonies with the Young Women who
will be graduating from High School and joining us in Relief
Society this next year. We want them to feel welcomed, to know
that they are loved, and to know us better as they become a part of
our sisterhood. We are passing around some Book of Mormons for you
to mark your favorite scripture and write a testimony to one of the girls.
We are then asking those who attend Relief Society to share your
scripture testimony during the beginning of Relief Society. Thank you
for your willingness to participate.

4. Message from Kristelle Hampton-
Hi Everyone! I am looking for a copy of the book “Fishers of Men” The first volume of a 3 set series the Kingdom and the Crown. I’ve tried to get this at the Library but to no avail… they can’t find the book. Does anyone have a copy of this book and would be willing to let me borrow it?
Thanks!

5. Back to the Basics Challenge
In his talk from October General Conference, President Uchtdorf said, "Brothers and sisters, diligently doing the things that matter most will lead us to the Savior of the world. That is why "we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ,...that we may know to what source we may look for a remission of our sins." In the complexity, confusion, and rush of modern living, this is the "more excellent way."
This year as a Relief Society we want to focus on things that matter most. Each month we will have a Relief Society challenge that will help us get "back to the basics." For January our theme is scripture study. Our challenge to you is to accept Bishop Garlick's invitation to read the New Testament as a family this year. Make a plan that will work for your situation, then take time each day to allow your testimony of Christ to be strengthened as you read and study His life and teachings.
