Sunset Ward Relief Society Newsletter

AUGUST 2018

Welcome Dear Sisters of the Sunset Ward, We are so grateful to each of you for all do!

We are excited to begin the “Ministering Interview’s” this month with each of you.

Before we meet with each of you we encourage you & ourselves, that as we engage in this most important work of ministering to each other. We recommend that you consider and hearken to the council of one of the great Book of Mormon Prophets “Moroni” his council found in the 7th Chapter & 48th verse. Sisters as we read this scripture, please try to read it as if he is speaking with each of us personally- for example say your name at the very beginning instead of the word “Brethren”.Love from the Relief Society Presidency. - Moroni 7:48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren (your name______), a pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons (Daughters) of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.

Sister this work is his work & glory (Moses 1:39) and we are his hands at this time in these Last days in preparation for the Saviours return. The Savour is ready and willing to help us if we prayer and listen to the still small voice on how best we can reach out to our assigned sisters. Your assigned sisters & ministering companion have been prayerfully assigned by your leaders and especially a loving Heavenly Father who knows what is best for each of his daughters.

We love you and we are so grateful to serve with each of you at this special time leading Page 2

up to the Saviours Return. Enjoy the journey Sisters with the Jesus Christ leading us all together! Just as the Hymn Pg251 “Behold a Royal Army” reminds us we are not alone for he is leading us & guiding us always as his Royal Army.

Behold! A royal army, With banner, sword, and shield, Is marching forth to conquer On life’s great battlefield.

Its ranks are filled with soldiers, United, bold, and strong, Who follow their Commander, And sing their joyful song: Chorus: Victory, victory, Thru him that redeemed us! Victory, victory, Thru Jesus Christ, our Lord! Victory, victory, victory, Thru Jesus Christ, our Lord!

And now the foe advancing, That valiant host assails, And yet they never falter; Their courage never fails.

Their Leader calls, “Be faithful!”

They pass the word along; They see his signal flashing And shout their joyful song: Oh, when the war is ended, When strife and conflicts cease, When all are safely gathered Within the vale of peace, Before the King eternal, That vast and mighty throng Shall praise his name forever, And this shall be their song:

Jenie, Sonia and Alvina

Ministering - lds.org - Jean B. Bingham RS General President

Where did my Home/ Visiting teachers go?

The flexibility of ministering should allow the Spirit to guide our efforts, not lead us to relax.

One of my friends recently asked me in bewilderment, “Where did my visiting teachers go?” From the time her husband passed away, they had been so caring and attentive, but since the announcement of the new ministering program at general conference in April 2018, she hasn’t seen hide nor hair of them.

We are all adjusting to a new way of doing things, and some ministering brothers and sisters may not have understood that although a home visit isn’t the only way to minister, it is certainly a wonderful way to show love and genuine interest-and many members still need it.

Putting Why over How For some, the problem may be misunderstanding the purpose of the change.

The purpose behind replacing home and visiting teaching with ministering wasn’t simply to change how we take care of each other but to help us be more guided by why.

The ultimate goal of our ministering is to help others become more deeply converted

Page 4

to the Savior Jesus Christ and grow toward their divine potential. The program’s added flexibility isn’t meant to encourage relaxing our efforts; it’s meant to provide greater opportunity for the Spirit to guide our efforts.

So whether or not someone needs a visit today should be based in large part on what will help them move forward on Heavenly Father’s path for them.

Learning Together Despite the initial uncertainty about what is expected of us as we minister, our sisters and brothers are reaching out to one another.

Wherever I’ve traveled, it has been exciting to hear from countless women (and many men) sharing their stories of the positive impact their ministering-or being ministered to-is having on relationships and personal growth.

I recently came back from North Carolina, USA, where a ward Relief Society president shared some simple outlines she had received from stake leaders. With a few clarifications, I thought they were spot on and worth sharing.

Keep Going

“A NEWER, HOLIER APPROACH.” This chart represents the way some members had come to perceive the old program, compared to how we hope all will understand what it means to minister.

THE OLD WAY

THE NEW WAY

Home and visiting teaching Duty Box* What do I do?

Process

Ministering Love Pearl Why do I do?

Outcome

CHECK IT OFF

Focus on task Once-a-month visit Bring a set message What counts?

Assigned to brothers and sisters Report that it’s done

KEEP CHECKING IN

Focus on person Simple, flexible contact(s) Spirit-led gospel sharing Accountable for spiritual welfare Entrusted with brothers and sisters Change hearts

* A parable is told of a jeweler who had a precious pearl but was saddened when the people who came to see it focused more on the beautiful box it sat in rather than the pearl itself. As we shift from home and visiting teaching to ministering, we can better focus on the “pearls” of meaningful ministering rather than the “box” of policy and procedure.

MINISTERING INTERVIEWS This chart emphasizes how important ministering interviews will be to the success of ministering.

PURPOSE Counsel, teach, and minister rather than simply report.

EXAMPLE QUESTIONS ◼ How is she doing?

◼ What are her strengths and challenges? ◼ How are challenges being met? How could her strengths bless others? ◼ What gospel ordinance (including the sacrament) does she need next? ◼ What promptings have you received about how to help? ◼ What happended when you acted on those promptings?

CRUCIAL

WHEN

◼ Without these interviews, the bishop might not receive the information he needs regarding the spiritual and temporal wellbeing of ward members.

◼ Conducting interviews once per quarter is the minimum, not the maximum; priesthood quorum and Relief Society leaders can conduct interviews with ministering companships as often as needed.

◼ Interviews give leaders a chance to share the vision of ministering and give encouragement. ◼ Leaders can help companionships learn how to counsel together.

◼ In person, if possible

◼ If these interviews are not held, there is a real danger that we will do less to care for others rather than more.

◼ By phone, video call, and so forth, if necessary

ministering.lds.org

Page 6

HOW ◼ With a companion is preferable

Ministering continued Keep going We are all learning together as we embrace “a newer, holier approach” to ministering. Perhaps some of us feel overwhelmed or intimidated. It helps to remember that “newer and holier” does not mean “flawless and unachievable.”

Whether you are still uncertain about the purposes of ministering and how it works or you think you have it down, I invite you to watch and read the resources at ministering.lds.org and study the Ministering Principles articles published each month in the Ensign. These materials will help align your ministering efforts with the Savior’s work.

Thank you, wonderful sisters and brothers, for loving and caring and reaching out and giving of yourselves. You are truly remarkable, and your ministering will be “something extraordinary”!

Getting to know

Jean Francois MI was born and my name was Jean Collins.

My Father Stanley Collins and Mother Frances Collins. I had 2 brothers Ronald and Frank and 3 sister Pamela, Merle and Frances. I was born just after Pamela.

My parents bought a farm in Lyttelton just outside of Pretoria and they had cows, geese, ducks and chickens. My parents sold the milk to many people in Lyttelton area and also supplied the O.K bazaars in Pretoria with Cream cheese and organic chickens and Turkey over the Christmas season. We had many fruit trees and my Mother used to can fruit and make jam for the family and friends, We had milk , cream cnd cream cheese in abundance.

My mother taught all of us how to cook and bake at 13. I could cook a complete roast dinner and bake. We all helped on the farm with the different chores as well.

My Brother did the male sports and the girls all learnt dancing, ballet, acrobatic and tap

Page 8

dancing. from the age of 3 years.My mother was a pianist, had a band of her own, and played the piano for 3 dancing schools and also for the church.

My youngest sister became a dancing teacher and my mother played the piano for her.

I worked at the Reserve bank in Pretoria for about a year and a half and I was transferred to Durban Natal. I met met my future husband and I was married just under a year later.. We had three children Warren , Sherene, and Karen.they were my joy and life.

I learnt to sew when I was 16 and I sewed dresses , shorts and leotards and swimming costumes for them. I felt very blessed to have them and loved all we did together. Lots of love fun and laughs We joined the church on the 7 May 1977. That was the biggest high light of my life. My world opened up and I knew I belonged there. We were all so happy and loved every minute of church. “A new life and new beginning.�

In 1981 I went with a couple who were going to be sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple and be at their sealing. It was awesome and I went through for the first time there. Its was so special and so heart touching. Very special day for all of us.

The children all did well at school and Warren went to varsity. Karen as well Sherene did a couple of courses as a secretary and worked for a firm of architects then attorneys. She married at 20 and had 3 children. Warren left SA and went to the USA to live in California Now in Charlotte has 2 children.. Karen Finished 5 years at varsity then went on Mission to Johannesburg and Botswana.Has three girls.

I managed 2 different branches in Durban Natal .of the NBS then worked in the Loans department and eventually Head Office. I was there for 23 yrs, In 1998 I did a Aromatherapy course and a year later I did a Reflexology course. That was really so special and I just loved the work I was doing.

I used to work all day at the bank and then come home and work from 5 to sometimes 10 at night. I was so busy with the treatments but so happy I could help so many I did many people from the bank as well. I was well known and mixed oils and creams for all kinds of problems.

6 ideas for people who hate exercise THeres an exercise for everyone!!!!

Hi sisters, heres a few ideas to help you get moving over winter!

1

Walking

Grab a friend and go for a walk, if you want someone to go for a walk with you, throw it up on our facebook page and see who wants to walk with you!

2 Cycling Cycling is a good way to get some exercise, we are lucky there are some great cycle routes on the shore, Auckland Transport have just released a North Shore cycle map, if you would like a copy see Alvina or your local AT station (See map on previous page)

3

Yoga

There are several yoga classes around the north shore, there are quite a few sisters who go to Yoga, again if you want to jump into a class and want a buddy throw it on our page and see if anyone is intrested.

4

Swimming

I have recently found out a great secret and that is Albany leisure centre, the pool is warm!!!

Not like the Glenfield leisure centre where they say it’s warm but it really isn’t. Seriously if you want to go water walking or do one of the aqua aerobics classes there are several sisters who already attend, throw it on our page if you want to come.

5 Play a group sport Golf, netball, cricket or badminton, there are many sports groups out there for you to join.

Sports is a fun way to get exercise.

6 Dance What a fun way to do exercise, if you enjoy dancing come join Huia on thursday morning at the chapel for some line dancing fun, it’s a great way to do exercise and you don’t even realise thats what you’re doing!! (Check fb for updates)

If you have a back problem or a serious medical issue, check with your doctor before engaging in any strenuous exercise.

Book Club ORPHAN X Our Book for August/September is Orphan X The book centers around the character Evan Smoak. At the age of 12, he was enrolled in a topsecret operation known as the “Orphan Program.” He is the 24th recruit in the program and is known only as Orphan X. The goal of the program is to train orphans so they can be assassins for government agencies. The program is shut down but Orphan X maintains access to the program’s funding and weapons.

In his 30s, Smoak begins freelancing as an assassin, using his skills to fight corruption in the form of vigilante justice. For each person he helps, he tells them to pay it forward by giving someone in need of help his phone number. During his adventures, he discovers that former Orphan agents have also begun freelancing and are trying to assassinate him.

Sisters you can find this book at your local library, it’s available online as an ebook and is also available at all book shops and retailers.

We will hold another book club evening in September (We will let you know closer to the time).

Things to think about when reading for discussion in our group • W hat the novel tells us about the nature of good and evil.

• W hat do you think has lead Evan to wanting to do good and help people?

• O rphan X has been described as a real page turner. Discuss how the author structures the novel and builds the tension.

• E van’s relationship with Mia, and her son Peter.

Sunday School Class - Poems of Gratitude

Psalms The Lord takes delight in my weakness as he takes pleasure in threshing the world with the weak things of the earth.

In my meekness he glories.

In my tribulation he finds an avenue to teach me patience.

In my smallness he may reveal the greatness of his love and mercy.

In my sorrow he teaches compassion.

I am his least disciple and his greatest fan.

Anonymous

For the breath that praises your name by song, I thank you.

For my heart that beats without thought nor effort, I love you.

For the sight you give through eyes both physical and spiritual, I see you.

With all my love and thanks and vision, I honour you.

Nikki Murray

You have given me strength to face challenges and adversity.

Praise to thee for all that I have: For a family who love me as I love them; For the gift of eternal families; For the glorious world that I am part of Anonymous

Great is the priesthood for the power to seal our beloved families together Great is the atonement and for each new day to repent and become more like thee Naomi Mera You have sent your wonderful prophets to be an example and to lead thy children.

We hear they servants and walk in the light because of thee.
