BOXES WILL BE IN THE FOYER ON SUNDAY

Welcome 2012...

• Next week's Relief Society lesson is based on the talk entitled Resolutions, by Elder Joe J. Christensen.
• The December Visiting Teaching message may be found here,  An Extensive Sphere of Action.  Our year end reports are due very quickly this quarter - please do your visiting supervisor a favor and call her and let her know all those you visited in December.
• Do you need a new Ward List?  Maybe you want a hard copy for your desk drawer instead of looking up an address or phone number on lds.org.?  If so, just stop into the Ward Clerk's office.  There are lots of different versions of Ward Lists available!
• If you did not receive your 2012 Manual (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith) on December 18th, copies will be in the Relief Society Room this week.  After January 1st extra copies will be available in the Ward Library if you forget yours at home.
