Simplest Newsletter I once had a church assignment where I sent a list of seldom seen sisters a message in the mail each month. I started writing a newsletter to them. My goal was to keep these less-active sisters connected with our church. I wanted it to be an easy transition for them when they returned by knowing what was going on. As a church secretary, I expanded on the idea. This example shows you the simplest form I've used, but most of the last year I had a spotlight where I took a picture of a sister and wrote a paragraph about her (including her church assignment). Hopefully, this helped folks old and new, get to know people. This SugarDoodle link was my inspiration: http://www.sugardoodle.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6532:relief-society-newsletter-template&catid=2650:-sp-801&Itemid=200411 I have also included regular short "articles" entitled Pursuit of Excellence which encouraged goal setting, Provident Living a preparedness feature, as well as Today's Family and a 3-Month Clip & File Food Storage Recipes. Interspersed were really good quotes. I put in phone numbers for the church leaders and contact people. For better viewing of the newsletters, click on each picture to enlarge.

Bear testimony of the doctrine. Invite those you visit to share what they have felt and learned. How Can I Prepare for Temple Worship? Silvia H. Allred, first counselor in the Relief Society general presidency: "The temple is the house of the Lord. He directs the conditions under which it may be used, the ordinances that should be administered, and the standards that qualify us to enter. … Personal worthiness is an essential requirement to enjoy the blessings of the temple. We prepare by obeying the commandments and seeking to do God's will" ("Holy Temples, Sacred Covenants," Liahona and Ensign, Nov. 2008, 113). Elder David B. Haight (1906–2004) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles: "We who would attend the temple must be living in a manner which helps us be worthy to enter and fully partake. … We examine our worthiness to enter the temple in … interviews with priesthood leaders. Our signature, with theirs, on our temple recommend testifies of our worthiness to enter the temple" ("Come to the House of the Lord," Ensign, May 1992, 15). What Are the Blessings of Qualifying for and Partaking of Temple Worship? D&C 110:7: "I will manifest myself to my people in mercy in this house." President Howard W. Hunter (1907–95): "Let us hasten to the temple as frequently as time and means and personal circumstances allow. Let us go not only for our kindred dead, but let us also go for the personal blessing of temple worship, for the sanctity and safety which is provided within those hallowed and consecrated walls. The temple is a place of beauty, it is a place of revelation, it is a place of peace" ("The Great Symbol of Our Membership, " Tambuli, Nov. 1994, 6; Ensign, Oct. 1994, 5). D&C 38:32: "I will give unto you my law; and there you shall be endowed with power from on high" (see also D&C 95:8). Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles: "Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles: "The temple endowment blessings are as essential for each of us as was our baptism. For this reason we are to prepare ourselves that we may be clean to enter into the temple of God. Temple work is an opportunity to perform our personal endowments and covenants for the living and also perform these same ordinances for the redemption for the dead. It is for this reason we are instructed in the scriptures to build temples and prepare our lives to be worthy to partake of the sacred temple ordinances and covenants. …" ""The primary purpose of the temple is to provide the ordinances necessary for our exaltation in the celestial kingdom. Temple ordinances guide us to our Savior and give us the blessings that come to us through the Atonement of Jesus Christ" ("Temple Blessings," in Brigham Young University 2005-2006 Speeches [2006], 1, 4). President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–2008): "Every man or woman who goes to the temple in a spirit of sincerity and faith leaves the house of the Lord a better man or woman. There is need for constant improvement in all of our lives. There is need occasionally to leave the noise and the tumult of the world and step within the walls of a sacred house of God, there to feel His spirit in an environment of holiness and peace" ("Of Missions, Temples, and Stewardship," Ensign, Nov. 1995, 53). © 2009 Intellectual Reserve, Inc.

Galatians 6:9 - And let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. The other day on Facebook a friend posted this cartoon. I don’t know who the creator of the cartoon is, so I can’t give him or her the credit he or she deserves. But the cartoon made me laugh and also made me want to cry all at the same time because it illustrated such amazing truth. In far too many churches, a handful of people do all the work while the majority watch from the sidelines. Everyone wants the church to be there for them when they have a problem. But few want to do the work that keeps the church alive so that it can be there to help people in times of crisis. Greater numbers of Christians are “inactive” than ever before in American history. But imagine how it would change churches if all Christians were called up to active duty! Imagine how many youth workers and Sunday School teachers and deacons and worship team members the church would have. Imagine the financial resources the church would have. Imagine how many soup kitchens, after school tutoring programs, homeless shelters, crisis pregnancy centers and adoption programs we could operate more effectively. If massive numbers of believers became reactivated in their faith, revival would come to America in a matter of weeks. So what about us? Are we on the front line? Or are we hiding in the back hoping our draft number won’t come up? It’s time for all of God’s people to volunteer for active duty. A war is waging for the souls of men and women and we can’t afford to have anyone holding back. It’s time to serve! Lord, let us not become weary in doing good but help us remain faithful in our service to You. Amen. ------------------------------ Dr. Terry W.

Church announcements are important Imagine the time during church announcements as having a face to face conversation with everyone at once. It’s that small window of opportunity to share important things with the church family. If we are doing it well, we can make the few minutes we have really impactful. **
