Elders and family,
Elders I would like to recommend a tradition for you and your family—an annual Fathers Blessing. I am recommending that you begin doing, annually, a Fathers Blessing prior to your children starting school. This can be a tender time to have a Fathers Interview with your child to get on the same page and then have a blessing that you give them not only comforts but also gives direction from the Lord. I would recommend working on this in the next two weeks as school is now beginning. Additionally, do not forget consulting with your wife prior to the blessing as her insights will be most helpful.
Tonight there is a Temple Sealing Session reserved as a reminder to those that have accepted the assignment—please see below for future months assignments and information. Sunday we have no Sacrament Meeting but are to attend the Temple Dedication! If you haven’t gotten your Dedication Recommend you’ll need to rush to the church tonight to meet with the Bishopric! Our good friends the Bulloch’s are moving on Saturday morning at 9:00 AM. Please come and help them move out—even thought we’d rather they not move!
Also Jennifer Jelte arrives HOME THIS FRIDAY! Denise & Eric have got to be bouncing off the ceiling!
Here is this week’s bulletin:

Upcoming Events
-Temple Dedication- Sunday, August 23rd, 3:00 PM Stake Center. The interviews for recommends will be done by the Bishopric. They will start these in the next week or two. We will have more announcements regarding this and how to get an interview. The dedication is open to all baptized members of the Church who have received a recommend. In preparation for the dedication it is recommended that you do a Family Night focusing on the temple and what it means. We will have no Sunday meetings (no sacrament meeting, etc.). Additionally it may be nice to review why we do The Hosanna Shout and have a hanky for your children.
-EQ Temple Night September 29th- Starting in September we’ll be having a temple night for the Elders Quorum membership and their families. I am going to be making assignments to do certain ordinances (Sealings, Initiatory, Endowments, Baptisms) rotating through the quorum membership. The goal will also to be to work in doing Family History work of our own and taking those names as we progress with this. This will be a fun time every month for us to get out to the temple together—and a good excuse to go, right. Currently I have a Sealing sessions reserved through November. Future dates will be—October 20th and November 17th.
Sundays Lesson(s):
