Reading Challenge

Recently, Sister Motteshard posed the question to the Relief Society sisters if there was anything that we could do in Relief Society to help you spiritually.  She received several suggestions back.  

One was a regular temple outing.  We will try to do this twice a month - one during the day and another in the evening or perhaps Saturday morning, to accommodate just about any schedule.  We will let you know what those dates and times are.  

The other suggestion was a reading challenge.  So we as a presidency decided to take you up on that.  Rather than do the usual "Book of Mormon" challenge, we opted to use the "Daughters in my Kingdom" book.  We plan to have the entire book finished in time for our ward temple challenge we are holding in October (like we did last October).  Here is our schedule:  

Some people need to be held accountable for their reading (like me), so we are assigned a number and will pass around a chart where you can mark off your reading each week.  You are not required to have a number to participate, but if you would like one, contact Sister Motteshard.  You can also get a copy of the reading schedule from her or simply click on the picture above and print.  

We had a lot of sisters sign up and hope that many more will participate with us.  If you don't have a copy of the book, you can pick one up from the distrubution center for a couple of dollars.  It can also be found on the LDS scriptures app that you may have on your smart phone.  

In case you missed it...

In case you missed the Rigby East Stake Relief Society Conference held recently...

President Poston gave a most wonderful talk!  

Thanks to Sister Motteshard for sharing her notes!

For Your Information...

So as not to create a conflict of interest on this blog which was meant for Relief Society information only... we have created a second blog that is for food storage, food orders, and other helpful information you might need.  It is not sponsored by the church or the Relief Society in any way, just a place to pass along information you might find useful.

You can find this site at:  http://tonourishandstrengthenourbodies.blogspot.com/

If you have any information to share with us, send it to:  nourishandstrengthen at gmail.com  and I will make sure it gets added to the blog.

Hello Everyone!

Disclaimer ;-) & General Info.:  I will try to get these emails out every week, preferably on Wednesday morning to evening, as this is when most of the grocery store sales start. These will be mostly food sales, but occasionally I'll notice other good sales and will include them as well.  Most of the deals will be for basic food staples and/or items I personally keep an eye on, or just happened to notice. Please let me know if there's something in particular you shop for and would like me to watch for sales on, or if you know of a good sale on something I can pass along.  If an item is listed in this email, it's what I consider to be a pretty good buy. I will highlight the prices that are what I have found to be a "best deal of the year" on that particular brand/item.  Those are great times to build up food storage or just stock up at a great price. *** Listed after the price indicates an exceptional buy, not the best I've seen, but pretty close.  The sales listed below are from each stores sales ads. Be sure to keep an eye out when you go to the store as they usually have other sales that aren't listed in their ads.

Albertson's and Smith's require a "savings" card to get their sales.  If you don't have one, they're free, and easy to sign up for at their service desks. If a price calls for an “in-ad coupon”, the store ads are usually available on a stand by the entrance to the store. Broulims usually has their coupons available to everyone at the check-outs. Winco doesn't have a store ad, and they change their prices at un-determined times. Their prices aren't guaranteed for any amount of time, but I will post them as of the time I saw them. Sometimes the stores don't stick to their limits, so be sure and ask if you want more. Also, most stores are good at giving rainchecks if they're out of an item. Smith's will allow you to order larger quantities of most sale items and call you when they're in.
