Elders and family,

I hope all is well for all of you. Please note our Temple Night in the month of September and try and be there. Please speak to me if you plan to attend. Thanks to all those who have rendered service in the last few weeks. It is certainly noticed and appreciated greatly!

Additionally, we’ll be having combined RS & Priesthood as it is the 5^th Sunday yet we’ll still be discussing the General Conference talk of Elder Robert D. Hales. Please read this as Brother Cousins will be leading our discussion and I’d like the EQ well prepared to discuss—this is something we’ve been speaking about in our individual PPI’s.

Here is this week’s bulletin:

Sandy Hills Elders Quorum Goals Reminder:

Upcoming Events

-EQ Temple Night September 29^th- 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 20^th and November 17^th.
