Service
The Kuna Food Bank is running low on certain items. Our RS will focus on a specific item each month to collect and donate. You can bring items to church or drop them off at the Food Bank. Thank you so much for your help!
This month we are collecting: COLD CEREAL
Monthly Theme: SERVICE
In 2025 our Relief Society presidency would like to focus each month on a specific theme. This theme will be used in our counseling topics on Sundays, to plan activities, etc. throughout the month.
The theme for April is Service.
Elder Uchtdorf said, "Serving God and our fellowmen will challenge us and transform us into something greater than we ever thought possible.
This is why you are needed. You have your own special contribution to make, and God can magnify that contribution in a mighty way. Your ability to contribute is not dependent upon your calling in the Church. Your opportunities for service are endless. If you are waiting on the sidelines, I encourage you to get in the game.
In the great Composer's symphony, you have your own particular part to play--your own notes to sing. Fail to perform them, and with certainty the symphony will go on. But if you rise up and join the chorus and allow the power of God to work through you, you will see 'the windows of heaven" open, and there shall not be room enough to receive it.' Rise up to your true potential as [daughters of God], and you can be a force for good in your family, your home, your community, your nation, and indeed in the world.
And in the process, as you 'lose [your] life' in the service of others, you will grow and develop until you reach 'the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.' Then you will be prepared to inherit, with Christ, everything your Father has."
From "Four Titles," April 2013
