Weekly EQ Bulletin - July 14, 2009

Elders and family,

We have a service project at the Collets on July 15^th (tomorrow), please let me know if you can attend. On July 16^th we have a Pasta Plant assignment from 6-10 PM for 3 people to fill- game? We have Father and Sons on Friday and Saturday. Additionally, the missionaries are in need of rides from priesthood holders (18 and above) during the day/evening. If you could reply and let me know if you’d be willing and what times and days you might be able to work something into your schedule that would be helpful. Then if they need us they can call us.

Bobby Tello in Sunday’s lesson issued a challenge to all of us Elders that we do the following prior to our next trip to the temple:

1. What is the next date I’ll be attending the temple?
2. What am I going to do to prepare to go to the temple to better feel the Spirit of the Lord?

Starting in August or September we will start having a monthly night where Elders and family are encouraged to go to the temple. Let me know if you have a preference on time of day and day of week.

Here is this week’s bulletin:

Sandy Hills Elders Quorum Goals Reminder:

1. Pray: 3 times daily individually and with your family
