April Visting Teaching Messages Handout

Here is April's Visiting Teaching Handout! To go with this months message!  If you don't get the Ensign you can find the message here!  This month's message is The Purpose of The Relief Society.  Sister Julie B Beck states in the first part of the message:

"To fulfill this purpose of Relief Society, the Lord has commissioned each sister and the organization as a whole to:

1. Increase in faith and personal righteousness.
   
2. Strengthen families and homes.
   
3. Provide relief by serving the Lord and His children.
   

We can do this work in the Lord’s way only when we seek, receive, and act on personal revelation. Without personal revelation, we cannot succeed. If we heed personal revelation, we cannot fail. The prophet Nephi instructs us that the Holy Ghost will show us “all things what [we] should do” (2 Nephi 32:5). We must allow ourselves to be still enough and quiet enough to listen to the voice of the Spirit."

I know that in this day and age we really need the help of our Sisters to make it.  The friendships, the sisterhood and the strength of fellow sisters. The ability to call on them when needed and know that someone is there when you need them the most!  It is so important to be a friend to your sisters.  As you help them build their spirit and they will in turn build yours!

A Restoration of All Things handout freebie

A Restoration of All Things is the visiting teaching message for February 2011.

Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president, taught: “Just as the Savior invited Mary and Martha of New Testament times to participate in His work, women of this dispensation have an official commission to participate in the Lord’s work. … The organization of Relief Society in 1842 mobilized the collective power of the women and their specific assignments to build the Lord’s kingdom.”

We accomplish our work as we focus on Relief Society’s purposes: to increase faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and seek out and help those in need.

You can download the handout freebie, including the blank version, here.

Relief Society VT handout - January

Erika will be creating handouts each month to go along with the Visiting Teaching message for the month you can download the handout here!  You can get the visiting teaching message here.

The message for January is about Our History and the importance completing our visiting teaching each month.  Sister Beck  said  “A sister in this Church has no other responsibility outside of her family that has the potential to do as much good as does visiting teaching.”   Sister Thompson teaches that visiting teaching “is more a way of life than a task.”  We are encouraged to be friends of the sisters we visit to be there for them and help them when needed. If we are not friends with those sisters the Lord has asked us to visit how will they be able to come to us for the help they need.  Be friends with those you teach! 

Remember, we are not only blessing ourselves when we do our visiting teaching we bless those that we teach!

Joseph Smith - Prophet of the Restoration

I created this handout in preparation for teaching tomorrow in the Relief Society a lesson from a talk by Elder Tad R. Callister, Joseph Smith - Prophet of the Restoration from the November 2009 Ensign. Except for the image of the First Vision, this is my custom design. Feel free to use it for all things good in behalf of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

The handout covers 1/2 page - two per page for the pdf.
