Changes in Relief Society

For the several people who stayed home due to snow or sickness this morning, there were several changes made in auxiliary leadership.  I had planned to just mention the RS changes, but since they all involve women, I might as well go over them all while I am here, right?

Sister P. Smith was called as the Primary President
with Sister Wilburn and Sister Sear as Counselors
and Sister Pottorf as a Secretary.

Sister Delos Santos was called as Nursery Leader.

Sister Culbertson, having been released from the calling of  Primary President, was called as a Substitute RS Teacher.

Sister Fliege, now released as Primary Counselor is now a RS teacher on our third Sunday and will also serve as our RS Music Leader.

Sisters Sear, Pottorf, and Wilburn were all released from their former callings of RS Enrichment Counselor, Branch Missionary and Music Leader.

We will miss Sister Pottorf in our presidency.  She added a great spirit as well as a lot of practicality and common sense that was much appreciated and needed at times.  She will be greatly missed by myself and the other members of my presidency.

Thanks for all of your service and for the examples you set.  We look forward to gaining some of you back from primary after a couple of long years and promise not to forget those of you who have been sent down there to teach our children.

And thanks to those who came, we hope that you enjoyed yourselves.

Welcome!

We are very excited that we received permission to create and host this website/blog in order to have a space that we can share information and post announcements. Hopefully this will eliminate some of the lengthy email we tend to send out. In the future, you are likely to get email from Sister Gentry that informs you of a new post and links you back to this site. Also, we would love for you to add this site to your list of favorites and check back as often as you are online.

As we have shared with you, our main objective as a presidency is to strengthen our sense of sisterhood through opportunities to increase spirituality, understand stewardships, serve, love, and fellowship each other. We feel that this blog will be a great tool as we strive to help you connect with each other as sisters. Our vision for this blog is also to use it as a posting place for compassionate service opportunity information, Visiting Teaching reminders and encouragement, and reminders of Enrichment and Educational opportunities.

Our instruction from the stake included the stipulation that all comments and posts must be moderated by me. I am typically online every day and will consistently update posts and review comments. If you have information that you feel should be posted, please contact me via email at: ewindbiglerdesign@yahoo.com.

We look forward to seeing you back here soon!
