Leadership Message
Brothers and Sisters of the Taylorsville 23rd Ward, we have been invited by our Prophet, Russell M. Nelson to enjoy the Sabbath Day and to make it a delight. Our Heavenly Father made the Sabbath Day for us, His children. I would encourage each of us to look at what we do and can do to make the Sabbath Day the special day of the week that our Heavenly Father intended it to be. There are many things we can do on Sunday to make it a delightful day. It is the Lord's day and we are counseled to go to the Lord's House and offer up our sacraments to Him and to serve one another and to put aside the things of this world. We are told that it is a day of rest. We make the Sabbath a special day by focusing on the callings that we have been set apart for and serving each other as ministering brothers and sisters. We can take more time to read and ponder the scriptures and the messages from General Conference. We can visit friends and loved ones and receive and give encouragement to each other. We can spend time together as families to teach and learn the gospel of Jesus Christ together and deepen our love for our family members.
In his book, Daily Joy, President Nelson says the following about "Joy In The Sabbath" on page 153.
How can you ensure that your behavior on the Sabbath will lead to joy and rejoicing? In addition to your going to church, partaking of the sacrament, and being diligent in your specific call to serve, what other activities would help to make the Sabbath a delight for you? What sign will you give to the Lord to show your love for Him?
Make the Sabbath a delight by rendering service to others, especially those who are not feeling well or those who are lonely or in need. Lifting their spirits will lift yours as well.
I pray that each of us will be blessed in our efforts to make the Sabbath a delight.

Relief Society
* Thanks to all those who participated in the Relief Society "Baby Picture" Activity. We had a lot of fun and learn so much about each other.
*Please notify Brother Tanner Haderlie or Teresa Hughes if you know of any homes for sale/new move ins so that the missionaries can welcome the new families into the neighborhood and ward. We are encouraging everyone to do this on a continual basis to help the ward missionaries and full time missionaries be apprized of new families moving in to our area.
*We are excited for this Sunday's Relief Society lesson which will be taught by Carole Jensen. "Ye Shall Be Free" by Thierry K. Mutombo. Don't forget...10:00am.
