Today's Sunday School lesson is found in Jeremiah. It is Lesson 41: “I Have Made Thee This Day … an Iron Pillar”

Jeremiah’s life was full of sorrow, but his response to trials can inspire us. He was beaten and imprisoned for prophesying against the kingdom of Judah. His life was constantly threatened. However, through all the adversity and opposition, he was like an “iron pillar” (Jeremiah 1:18). The book of Jeremiah provides a personal, faith-promoting record of this prophet’s response to his life’s sorrow and frustration.


The Relief Society lesson is found in the Joseph Fielding Smith manual:

Lesson 20: Love and Concern For All Our Fathers Children

Here's what Joseph Fielding Smith said, “I think if all men knew and understood who they are, and were aware of the divine source from whence they came, … they would have feelings of kindness and kinship for each other that would change their whole way of living and bring peace on earth.”

Jeremiah ministered from 626 to 586 B.C., during the reigns of five kings (from Josiah to Zedekiah). With Josiah, he tried to turn the people from idolatry and immorality. Jeremiah’s life was full of sorrow, but his response to trials can inspire us. He was beaten and imprisoned for prophesying agai…

Our Sunday school lesson for this Sunday,Nov 2, 2014 is found in the Isaiah Chapters, 50-53.

Here are some questions to ponder:

•What does Isaiah 53:2–5 tell us about the life of the Savior? Why can he understand our sorrows and our grief? (See Alma 7:11–13; Hebrews 2:16–18; 4:15.) How have you sensed that he understands your sorrows and grief? Why was the Savior willing to suffer the pain of being wounded, bruised, and scourged? (See 1 Nephi 19:9.)

•Isaiah prophesied about a number of events that were connected with the Atonement of the Savior. What do the following verses teach about the Savior’s love and his atoning sacrifice?
Isaiah 50:5–7 (see also Matthew 26:39; Philippians 2:8)

Isaiah 51:6 (see also Mosiah 16:9; Alma 34:10)

Isaiah 53:2–4 (see also Alma 7:11–13; Hebrews 2:16–18)

Isaiah 53:8–11 (see also Mosiah 15:10–13)

Additional reading: Mosiah 14–15.

Our Relief Society lesson will be a Relief Society Presidency's choice or Student Living Lesson: How can I show love for my roommates in practical ways?

Here's a quote that I love from President Uchtdorf:

"True love requires action. We can speak of love all day long—we can write notes or poems that proclaim it, sing songs that praise it, and preach sermons that encourage it—but until we manifest that love in action, our words are nothing but 'sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal'" (1 Corinthians 13:1; Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "You are My Hands," Ensign, May 2010).

Hope you all have a great Sabbath and a great week!!

To be better prepared for our Sabbath Day experience, we will post the upcoming Sunday School lessons and Relief Society lessons here. To better keep the "...commandment, that when ye are assembled together ye shall instruct and edify each other, that ye may know how to act....upon the points of my law and commandments, which I have given" (D&C 43:8), then we must prepare ouselves to attend our meetings, having read our lessons before hand, ready to discuss and edify one another on the points of doctrine that is laid out in the lessons that are instructors are asked to teach. You will then have a greater experience, returning to your apartments as if you sat at a feast, "...to say within yourselves-it must needs be that...the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me."

So, let's prepare ourselves to be fed and to feed others by reading the following lessons before our classes:

Sunday School lesson for 9/28 - Lesson 36 in the Old Testament, The Glory of Zion Will Be A Defense

Relief Society lesson for 9/28 - Teaching for our TIme, "Grateful in Any Circumstances" by President Uchtdorf, April 2014 General Conference.

The Stake RS will provide dinner before the movie. A sign up sheet will be passed around on Sunday for all those who are interested in going so that we can coordinate carpooling.

Good Morning Girls! We hope you are all planning on attending the Stake Relief Society Fireside this Sunday, June 8 at 6:00 PM in the Kirkham Auditorium. We need your help with the musical number part of the program. The Stake leaders will be singing the first verse of the song "Heirlooms" but want you girls to join in on the second verse. Could you go to You Tube and type in the search box - Heirlooms by Amy Grant. Listen to it several times this week so you can be familiar with it and help us on Sunday. Sis. Stanfield is using the message of this song as the theme for the Fireside and we are looking forward to the powerful Spirit we can share as we all sing it together. Thanks - and looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday. SPREAD THE WORD!

Hello Sisters,

You know we love you all and we think we have the best girls in the Stake. Every once in a while, I will have young men inquiring about blind dates. So, if any one of you are interested in going on blind dates, will you send me a message.

We love you,

Sister Stanfield
