An Invitation


We were a newly called presidency when we hiked Rock Canyon with President and Sister Blair last June. I love that the trail in this picture is clearly defined and that off to the right there is a stream bed. Both provide physical reminders for me of our need to stay focused on the "strait and narrow path," sustained by "living water."

In October 2015, President Russell M. Nelson spoke to the women of the church calling on us to be "women who have a bedrock understanding of the doctrine of Christ." More recently, in a January 8th worldwide devotional for young adults, Pres. Nelson asked "How can you increase in your discipleship?" His reply, "Commence tonight to consecrate a portion of your time each week to studying everything Jesus said and did. ...This may seem like a large assignment, but I encourage you to accept it. If you proceed to learn all you can about Jesus Christ, I promise you that your love for him, and for God's laws, will grow beyond what you currently imagine."

As we begin this new year, may we consider President Nelson's invitation to increase our understanding of Jesus Christ and His doctrine through weekly study. We invite you to join with us each Tuesday morning from 9:30 - 10:30 as we discuss the doctrines of Christ as taught in the New Testament. Our class begins January 24 and will be taught by Catherine Corman Parry.
