HOW TO PUT CHRIST FIRST...

 

ZOOM FROM LAST NIGHT PDF FROM LAST NIGHT POWERPOINT SO YOU CAN TEACH THIS TO YOUR WARD View this email in your browser How to put Christ at the Center of your Temple worship… Suggestions for Successful Worship Begin your day with prayer: to help you put aside the attempts the adversary will try to defeat your goal of going to the temple.   Before you leave home, let Father know how important this is to you:   Just know, that as you enter the HOV lane, someone is going to cut you off, but you do not respond in anger and you are not deterred.  Just know that as you leave the toddler with the babysitter, who just poured a whole box of fish food into the bowl, she has the ability to clean it so you can leave.  On this day, nothing can sway you from your Covenants with the Lord.  You are doing great! When you arrive, say a prayer : before you leave your car make sure you are in tune with the feelings which are appropriate for Temple Worship.  This will clear your mind of any negative or confusing thoughts.   When you get dressed: study the name of the person on your card, and reflect on the ordinance that is provided to you for the redeeming of the dead. We study their lives before we leave using history and their timeline to appreciate all that they endured for us to be here today.   When you perform the ordinance: picture Christ embracing them in your mind. These thoughts are from the Leadership Meeting from Rootstech 2023 We never pick and choose favorites on a whim.  No one is exempt from receiving the blessings of the temple.  We should baptize all of our ancestors and with forgiveness in our hearts, should they have wronged us prior to death, we need to baptize them regardless.  They can choose to accept it or not, and they may have had a change of heart as well.  The Lord said, “10 I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you, it is required to forgive all men.” - Doctrine and Covenants 64:10.  Give that some thought if you have ever said the words, “I refuse to do her work.” All through our lives, we make covenants with the Lord.  Sometimes we have to rededicate our hearts to those promises knowing that when we do our part, He has no recourse but to do His. If we are doing work for them and forgetting to document our families' lives while they are still here, won’t that make it harder once they are gone? If they are here, they can help us find the answers to questions we have.  Do we have their life story written and recorded voices and videos NOW for their posterity?  Have we preserved their stories?  Think of this as you re-read the Prophet’s words above, that “…Any time we do anything  that helps anyone on either side of the veil  to make and keep their Covenants with God, we are helping to gather Israel.” When we go to the temple to do the work we have covenanted with the Lord to do, there is always a thought, “That ancestor is pleased with me because I was obedient and did work that he cannot do while I am on this earth.”  Perhaps our first thought should be, “Christ is pleased with me because I obeyed the Covenants we made to help others on both sides of the veil.” Join us on June 10 at 5 pm for our Zoom.  We would love to hear your thoughts of what we have discussed here.  Perhaps you can enlighten others who are listening and empower them to dedicate themselves to the covenants they have made!

Stake Temple and Family History Consultants wonder...

Please click FOLLOW this blog to keep informed.


Questions we get from our Stake people:


How can we reach out to our Wards from our Family History Center?

Where is the Training for someone who works at a Family History Center?

Stake Family History Center personnel train Ward Family History Consultants who are called by the bishop and assigned the task of working at the center by the Temple and Family History Leader (formerly in the manual was referred to as the High Priest Group leader)
Handbook 2 5.4.7.2 reiterates that which is also found the the FHC manual (2015)

Due to recent changes the words High Priest Group Leader can effectively translate to Ward Temple and Family History Leader

Start January 2019 off with a bang!  

After reading this newsletter, you will be prepared to start working on your Ward Family History Plans for your Stake High Counselor to roll into a report for your Stake President.


Last April Area Presidencies were assigned to each of the six massive areas of the World. Our Area is called the North America South West Area. They do need to look at numbers as it happens to be a logical way to see what is working and what is not. Each quarter, your Stake Presidents need your plan for your Ward visions for planning and future budgets. 

      We hope this newsletter will help get your 2019 year off to a good start. Some Stake Presidents started requesting your plans for your wards back in September and October. We've never, to my knowledge had a forum for jotting down what was important in your vision for your Ward. By creating a plan, events to be held by each of our Auxiliaries will be documented, talked about, and put onto your Stake Calendar.

      You will each be able to coordinate activities for your events This newsletter will show you a template that you can input all the info from your Auxiliaries and when you submit it to your Stake High Counselor, he will love it! A lot of people are now using this and feel like their team is truly effective and cohesive. They FEEL more organized!  Let us know how we can improve upon it for you. 

The Link is below in the Newsletter - Interesting enough, I have Canva looking into their newsletter software for improvements.   This newsletter is great for browsing and deciding if you want to download the .pdf version.  You won't be able to click on any links here online, but if you download the .pdf version, you can click on links as you read.

NASW NEWSLETTER FOR January 2019 by TedKarenMeyer


Discover Gather and Connect was the theme of last year's Roots Tech - wondering what the theme will be this year.  I know as a convert, I was particularly moved by the "I belong" commercials.  Everytime I find that one of my ancestors was a Pioneer who struggled in the journey across the United States, I feel like I do belong.  Of course, as a Child of God, we all belong, but there is something different about a convert realizing that the church that they chose to join is also one that their ancestors loved.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gives us many opportunities to get to know our ancestors.  I hope you enjoy this deck called Discover, Gather and Connect....
