Stake Update
We have just completed a wonderful second round of self-reliance groups across the stake. As we embark on the next round, we feel inspired to make two specific adjustments to help accelerate bringing the blessings of this work to all the Saints:
1. An Invitation to All – These groups are not just for those currently going through more difficult circumstances. The more each of us can develop our own self-reliance, the more abundance we have to teach and share with others.
2. Make it More Localized – We’ll be working with the Ward and Branch Leaders to host localized Devotionals to facilitate bringing the blessings of these groups closer to each of you. This localized approach will allow for each Ward and Branch Council to customize their timing and approach to best meet their needs.
Look for more information from your unit leaders in the coming months.
Principle #8 – Become One, Serve Together
“The purpose of both temporal and spiritual self-reliance is to get ourselves on higher ground so that we can lift others in need.”
Robert D. Hales, “Coming to Ourselves: The Sacrament,
the Temple, and Sacrifice in Service,,”
Ensign or Liahona, May 2012
Invitation
1) Read Matthew 25:31-40
2) Think of someone that needs help
3) Make a plan to serve that person
