12" Tile
I have 5 12X12 tiles left over from a remodeling project.  I'll give them to the first 5 people that email me with a request.  Otherwise you'll need to get your own tile or something to attach the vinyl to.

For this order I am only offering the 8 inch vinyl for the nativity.  However, there is a sister in our ward who would be willing to cut out 6 inch nativity vinyl for you---if you provide your own vinyl--but you must contact her directly.  Email me for her name and contact info.  

I will be ordering from 2 different websites:  thoughtsinvinyl.com and vinylgiftsandmore.com  Check out these websites for info on color choices and other options

I have a source to order glass blocks with a small hole cut out of the bottom, but you can also get 2 sizes of glass blocks from Hobby Lobby.  The 8 inch one was $11.98 and there was a 6 inch one for about $10.00.  If you have a 40% off coupon, you can get these using the discount.

*If you provide your own fabric, the pattern for the pumpkin will be free.  It was on the McCall's website as a free pattern so we won't be guilty of a copyright violation.

If you have a 36 page plastic photo book and would like me to email the "Tell Me the Stories of Jesus" pictures file to you, you can print it yourself and use your own book.

Please make checks payable to SVB (if you don't know her name comment below).

ALL ORDERS AND MONEY WILL BE DUE BY 

 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9TH 

FOR VINYL OR GLASS BLOCKS.  

ORDERS FOR ANYTHING ELSE (EXCEPT THE PUMPKINS AND QUIET BOOK) ARE DUE BY THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13TH.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHAT YOU'D LIKE.  I'LL EVEN COME AND PICK UP YOUR MONEY (IF YOU WISH) SINCE WE HAVE GENERAL CONFERENCE NEXT WEEK.

Let Our Voices Be Heard

"If we do not make good choices, the media can devastate our families and pull our children away from the narrow gospel path."  ~M Russell Ballard

For those of you who were unable to be in our combined meeting this past Sunday we would like to share with you some counsel given to us by our Bishop and his counselors. 

1.  Read the manual Let Virtue Garnish Thy Thoughts

2.  Review the website...combatingpornography.lds.org 

3.  Discuss the information found in the manual and on the website with your spouse 

4.  Discuss the information found in the manual and on the website with your families

• "The first thing that parents have to realize as they begin having this conversation with their kids is that this is not a one time “talk” that will occur in an evening or at dinner.  Many people that I have talked to have described their experience of having the one time “talk” with their parents.  One young man shared that his father took him on a long walk when he was twelve years old and that when the walk ended he never heard anything about sex or pornography again.  He told me “I was in shock!  My dad talked for 2 hours about things I had never heard of before.”   The result was that the boy took all of the confusing information his father gave him and did two things: 1. He asked his friends about it.  He shared that this confused him more than before because it was clear that many of his friends were as ignorant as he was.  2. He went to the internet and looked things up.  This boys World Wide Web inquiry began innocently enough, but that day it ended in an exposure to pornography that created a hunger that developed into a full fledged addiction.  Periodically having this discussion with your son or daughter provides room for them to sort through confusing information and experiences, and it also ensures that the parent is the person who gives the most accurate, safe information.

•  Place No More for the Enemy of My Soul by Jeffery R Holland

Sisters, for those of us who were blessed to be in that room I'm sure that all could testify of the strong spirit that was there, testifying to us that the time to act is now. I am truly grateful for all of the support that we receive through and by the church to help us rear our children in righteousness. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to speak with any of our leaders. Go forward with faith, my sisters.

Daughters in My Kingdom

taken from lds.org...

Relief Society sisters have a glorious heritage. We pray that this volume will be an important resource for preserving that heritage.

~ The First Presidency

In grateful recognition of the blessing of Relief Society in the lives of Church members, the First Presidency has directed the preparation of Daughters in My Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society.

The teachings, stories, and examples in this history book will guide you in establishing priorities and practices in your life that will help increase faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and seek out and help those in need.

The history of Relief Society teaches the divine identity and infinite worth of daughters of God. It is a Spirit-filled story of strong, faithful, purposeful women who have served with little public recognition.            

As you study this history you will see that our Heavenly Father knows His daughters, that He loves them, that He trusts them with sacred responsibilities, and that He guides them as they fulfill those responsibilities.

You are encouraged to share the book with others. Church members of all ages may use the book as a reference in lessons, talks, council meetings, and at home.

If you haven't received a Daughters in My Kingdom book do not fear because many sisters are in the same situation. We will be ordering more and hopefully they will be here by October 9th...till then feel free to read a few passages online.
