SIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES STARTING UP

Ever wanted to learn a new language?
Looking for a personal progress/ Eagle scout project?
Want to be able to do more than just wave at Brother Wells?

Deborah Dalton has kindly offered to teach an 8-week free sign language class. Sister Dalton will take you through the basics of sign etiquette, conversational and church terminology and more.

Classes start on June 5 and will run every Sunday from 3-5 pm at the church, in the Relief Society room. Youth are welcome but there will be no childcare provided. Please remember, you will need your hands free to sign.

Please bring a notebook and pencil. Students are asked to buy Signing: How to Speak with your hands, by Elaine Costello. (Side note: I found it on amazon.com, new for $13 and used for as low as 46 cents.)

If you have any questions, please contact Deborah Dalton or Kristen Cornelsen.

VISITING TEACHING CONFERENCE

Next Sunday will be our VT Conference. The conference will be held during the third block of meetings.

If you are currently serving in YW or Primary during the third ‘hour’ someone will cover your class so that you can attend this special meeting with all the sisters in the ward.

The theme of the conference is “Oh, How We Need Each Other.”

IN NEED OF A HOME FOR A FEW WEEKS

Does anyone need a house sitter or someone to rent their home for a few weeks? I have a neighbor that has a 2 week period, June 1st to June 15th, were she has to be out of her house before the new one is ready.

This family is a wonderful family and I have become good friends with them. They take really good care of their current home and it will be hard for them financially to have to live in a hotel.


Just let me know.
Thanks

FRIDAY PROGRAM

Macy RobisonChildren Will Listen: Reflections On Mothering

Enjoy a unique “cabaret-style” performance featuring music and musings with Macy Robison celebrating the women and mothers in our lives—daughters, stepdaughters, sisters, friends, teachers, wives, stepmothers, daughters-in-law and mothers. We’ll bring Macy. You bring the tissues.


Virginia H. Pearce
Listen Up, This is Your Mother Talking!

While you might only have one mother, luckily we can be mothered by countless others if we are smart enough to listen. Virginia will put us in touch with some of our spiritual mothers--the women of the scriptures and the Restoration, who have so much to say that is more relevant today than ever before.


Emily Watts
From Believing to Becoming (in One Terrifying Leap!)

In every place except the dictionary, believing precedes becoming. But sometimes it takes a big leap of faith to embrace the beliefs that will lead us to our greatest possibilities. Emily shares several beliefs that can take you to some interesting new places, and triple-dog-dares you to put them into action!



SATURDAY PROGRAM

Hilary Weeks
Musical Presentation

You said you can't imagine TOFW without her; happily, you don't have to. Hilary is not just a great songwriter and incredible performer; she is first and foremost a woman-a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a sister. Her humor and her testimony make every event perfect (don't miss her new parody!)

Mary Ellen Edmunds
Identity Theft

We all know about the technological attempts to steal our identities, but how aware are we of the adversary's attempts to HIDE our identities? There is an all-out war trying to keep us from knowing who we really are. Know who you are and you will protect yourself from the ultimate identity thief!


Linda J.Eyre and Shawni Eyre Pothier
Finding Holiness Amidst the Havoc

Sometimes motherhood can seem as far away from "holy" as you can get when you're dealing with attitude from your teenager or scrubbing ball-point pen off the couch. Though holiness in motherhood does not come easy, there are a few simple tools that can make it a part of your everyday moments.


S. Michael Wilcox
Time to Sit and Learn

In the scriptures there is a direct relationship between light, intelligence and truth with righteousness, godliness and character. Using stories like Mary and Martha, Michael invites us to see the importance of taking time to "sit and learn" in the midst of all the other demands on our time and our hearts.

Wendy Ulrich
Your Personal Plan for Happiness

Research says that 40% of our happiness is within our power to control. And much of what we learn from research coincides with what we learn from the scriptures about how to cultivate habits of happiness and hope. Learn seven proven happiness enhancers and start building your own happiness plan.


Mariama Kallon
Why Should My Heart Weep?

Mariama often says, "If someone had told that I would be here, I would have never believed it." From her Muslim upbringing in war-torn Sierra Leone to serving as a Mormon missionary on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Mariama has learned what God can do in our lives when we give our lives to Him.
