Stake Auxiliary Training

A NIGHT OF SHARING


Don't forget the Auxiliary Training meeting on April 22 at 6:00.  Come visit with Stake Leaders and hear from our NEW Stake Presidency.

As Primary Leaders we will be talking about Scouting, Singing Time, Sharing Time, Blog Site, and sharing ideas from each ward.

From our visits with other primaries during ward conferences in January and February we learned many GREAT ideas that our wards need to share with one another to help strengthen and encourage them in their efforts to help the Lord's sons and daughters in our Primary. 

EACH WARD IS TO BRING IDEAS THEY ARE USING TO SHARE WITH THE OTHER WARDS.

Refreshments will be served.

Priesthood Preview

Put Sunday the 15th on your calendar for the Stake Priesthood Preview.  The purpose of this meeting is to help our young 11 year old men:
  • develop a mind that learns
  • find a spirit that burns
  • cultivate a heart that turns to the Savior.
We invite the stake presidency, bishoprics/branch presidencies, Primary presidencies, teachers of 11 year of boys, Young Men's presidencies, Scout Masters, 11 year old boys, and their families.

Presidency's Message

     April 1 came with many blessings and a few surprises. Despite the chilly weather, we feel warmed by the testimonies and counsel we received from President Monson and the First Presidency as well as apostles and many other Church leaders.
     We rejoice with you in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We testify that Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. His infinite Atonement and glorious resurrection bless every aspect of our lives now and forever. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
     He is the light and life of the world. He offers us peace; not the peace the world offers, but divine peace in His Father's house.
        May we enjoy the blessings of this Easter season, centering our lives on Him whose birth, atonement, and resurrection we honor, even Jesus Christ, our Savior and Friend.
Love,
Rolayne, Shauna, Cammie, Kaylene

Presidency's Message

     March came so fast, it caught us by surprise. We enjoyed visiting you and your Primary children for your ward and branch conferences. We delight in seeing the strength of the children of the Ely Nevada Stake. They have testimonies of our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. They know who they are. They know the scriptures are true. They know how to make wise choices. They feel the Spirit testify of all things true and good. Thank you for helping them become righteous children of God.                                                     
     Our stake theme this year, "Holiness of Heart," reminds each of us to turn to our Father in Heaven and receive His council as we serve His children. As we listened to President Pitts share his vision for our stake, we felt the Spirit testify to us that, if we harken to his words and apply them in our lives, we will be able to accomplish everything the Lord has asked us to do.
     With you, we strive with unwearied dilligence and holiness of heart to:
  • develop a mind that learns and obeys our Father's will.
  • find a spirit that burns with the truth.
  • cultivate a heart that turns to the Savior.
  • prepare a soul to earn all our Father's blessings, now and forever.
     We pray that we will all enjoy the blessings of obedience, service, and righteous living. Please know how much we love you and pray for you. We appreciate your faithful service in the Kingdom of God on earth.
With love,
  Rolayne, Shauna, Cammie, and Kaylene
