"We are all in this together. We need each other. Oh, how we need each other. Those of us who are old need you who are young, and hopefully, you who are young need some of us who are old...We need deep and satisfying and loyal friendships with each other. These friendships are a necessary source of sustenance. We need to renew our faith every day. We need to lock arms and help build the kingdom so that it will roll forth and fill the whole earth."

RS Activity: "Women at the Well"

Our RS activity this month has been changed! Several of our RS sisters, as well as several sisters of other faiths, are participating in “Women at the Well,” a musical production depicting New Testament stories of women touched by Jesus Christ. The program is Thursday, August 18th at 7:30pm, at 2047 Magnolia Ave. in Buena Vista (formerly Alexander’s). We hope to see you there!

Presidency Change

We'd like to give a very special thanks to our former RS presidency, released this past Sunday (August 7th): Miyoko Baldridge, Michelle Mahaffey, and Cathie Butler. They have been a wonderful presidency and we are so grateful for their loving service!

Welcome to our new presidency: Kristie Gibbons, president; Michelle Mahaffey, education counselor; and Heather Berry, Enrichment Counselor!

Below is a message from our new president, Kristie Gibbons:

Sisters,

I hope that you are finding several moments of joy on your journey this week. I also hope that our Relief Society can be strengthened as we collectively look for the blessings that are all around us. Please take a few moments this week to study and search the word joy in the scriptures. At the beginning of each Relief Society meeting, we will give you an opportunity to share with us your newly discovered insights. I feel inspired that as we collectively do this, our Heavenly Father will bless us individually and will help unite us as sisters.

I hope and pray that I can serve you to the best of my ability. I am so grateful for the counselors and secretary who stand by my side to help move the work forward in the Buena Vista Relief Society. I would also like to express my sincere thanks to Miyoko and her presidency for the countless hours of service they have given over the past few years. I look forward to getting better acquainted with all of you!

Love,
Kristie
