Our Relief Society meeting for May will be on May 20th starting at 7pm. Dress is casual and you are encouraged to bring a friend or neighbor! Refreshments will also be served. Give your visiting teaching sisters a call and make sure they know about the meeting.
"The Lord’s plan for Church members to be self-reliant is simple. It is that we do our best to provide for our personal and family needs by developing good work habits; being thrifty; gathering a home supply of items necessary to sustain us for at least one year; planning for our future needs; and maintaining physical, spiritual, emotional, and social health. Self-reliance begins at home, with the individual and the family." The Latter-day Saint Woman: Basic Manual for Women, Part B, "Developing Self-Reliance"
During our May meeting, we will be given ideas on making healthy and economical meal plans, "Meal planning on a budget". Ideas such as: Simplify food preparation by planning ahead; prepare bigger meals at dinner-time, and use the leftovers for lunch the next day; create an attainable monthly or weekly dinner menu for your family and stick with it! When doing these menu's, take into consideration those busy nights of meetings and youth activities. Buy in bulk on products you use most, or products with a longer shelf life.
We will be shown demonstrations on how to make our own cleaners, soaps, laundry detergents, etc. Just like growing your own garden produces healthier produce, making your own cleaning supplies will make a healthier, (and cheaper) cleaner home. You may find that the cleaner you make will work better than the product you pay a higher price for at the store!
Excited and want to learn more?! Come to the church on May 20th at 7pm!
There will also be tables set up for a Clothing Exchange. You are invited to bring in any gently used or out-grown clothing for ALL ages, male and female. Browse through the donated clothes and take home what you and your family will use. This is a great time to clean out the closet!
NOTE: Go to your calendar and mark "Relief Society Meeting 7pm" on the 3rd Thursday of every month to be sure be available to come. The majority of our meetings for the year will be on this day, and we need YOU to come learn and grow with us.
