This month we are going to be making the temple pictures that we have taken orders for. However, if you have not ordered a picture, please come and visit and participate in our coupon exchange and in our bring it and take it. From now on at all our relief society meetings we will have the coupon exhange and the bring it and take it. Please bring any items that you might have that you just want to get out of the house!! Hopefully someone else will find it to be a treasure. All we ask is that if you bring something, that no one takes, please take it home again.
Our meeting is at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 7th.
Also Sisters, if you have any ideas that you would like to learn or do at these Relief Society Meetings, please let us know. We are always searching for ideas.

APRIL RELIEF SOCIETY MEETING
Wednesday, April 7th 2010, at 6:30 we will be making temple pictures, you can view what they look like at: lovetoseethetemple.com The prices on the website will most likely be different, we will have those out soon. We are doing sign ups now and then we will be collecting the money so that we can get them ordered within the next week or so. We are so excited about these, and hope that you can join us.
As we think about temples and the Relief Society, we all have heard stories about how in Nauvoo, the sisters raised money to help the building of the temple. Some sisters made work clothes and brought food to the men working to build the temple. One such woman was Sarah M Kimball.
Born December 29, 1818, in Phelps, New York, to Oliver and Lydia Dibble Granger, Sarah joined the Church and moved with her family to Kirtland, Ohio, in 1833 at age fifteen.
Perhaps most significant in her early adulthood was her formation of the Ladies' Society of Nauvoo, the antecedent of the Relief Society. Married at age twenty-one to Hiram Kimball, a wealthy Nauvoo merchant who later converted to the Church, she sought to help build the kingdom of God, which the Saints then saw as embodied in Nauvoo, especially in the temple. She and her seamstress, a Miss (Margaret?) Cook, determined to sew shirts for the temple workmen and subsequently invited other women to join forces with them in a ladies' society. When they approached Joseph Smith for his approval of the society's Constitution, written by Eliza R. Snow, he stated that although the Constitution was excellent, the Lord wanted the women organized "under the priesthood after the pattern of the priesthood." According to Sarah Kimball's recollection, Joseph continued, "The Church was never perfectly organized until the women were thus organized" (Kimball, p. 51).
