Passing of Sister Rasmussen

We were so sad to hear about the passing of one of our dear sisters, Diane Rasmussen.  We love Diane and we will miss her sweet spirit.  Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.




Diane Louise
Porter Rasmussen

Diane Louise Porter Rasmussen returned peacefully to her heavenly home on December 13, 2012 after a short battle with lung cancer. She graduated from Provo High School in 1970 and went on to work with the children of Provo schools as an occupational physical therapist.
Diane was a good example of love, service and sacrifice, to everyone she knew. She had a love for dance. She taught ballet and tap for years. She loved roses and found joy in being in her garden.
She is survived by her loving husband, Ed and their children Jenny (Ryan), Julie, David and Jeff; siblings Dave (Sue), Jan, Jean (Greg), John (Lisa), Ben (Kerry), Kenny, Mike (Chris), Jim (Cheryl) and her mom Anne Marie.

Friends may call at the Berg Mortuary of Provo, 185 East Center Street, Sunday evening from 6 until 8 and at the church Monday from 9:30-10:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment, Provo City Cemetery.

Giving Tree

THE GIVING TREE

We will be doing a Giving Tree again this year for Christmas to help families from our ward. The Giving Tree will be in the east foyer before church and during church it will be right outside the Relief Society room each Sunday. If you are willing and able to help please select an ornament from the tree and on the paper next to the tree write down your name next to the number that corresponds with the number on the ornament. Please bring the wrapped gift with the ornament attached to the outside of the present with the number showing and turn it into the Clerks office or a member of the Relief Society Presidency. We will need to have all the gifts turned in by Sunday December 16th. If you have any questions please contact Jean Evans 801-372-3706.  Thank you.

In The Spirit of Thanksgiving

We want to thank everyone who was able to come to the Relief Society Meeting this past week.  It was a wonderful evening!

We did have a few technical difficulties with the video that we wanted to share.  We were able to listen to it but not see it.  I thought I'd include the link here for you to see.  It's worth watching and a great video to share with your family, especially this week.

New Bishopric Sustained

Hi Sisters!

We hope everyone was able to attend Sacrament Meeting yesterday.  If you were not able to be there we'd like to let you know a new Bishopric was sustained:

Bishop: Bill Rudy
First Counselor: Bryce Bunting
Second Counselor: Duane Wilson
Executive Secretary: John Pigott

This quote was on the front of the Sacrament Meeting program yesterday:

"By our sustaining vote, we make solemn promises.  We promise to pray for the Lord's servants and that He will lead and strengthen them.  We pledge that we will look for and expect to feel inspiration from God in their counsel and whenever they act in their calling. ...As we raise a hand to sustain a person, we commit to work for whatever purpose of the Lord that  person is called to accomplish."
President Henry B. Eyring, Called of God and Sustained by the People.

Please remember to keep our Bishopric and their families in your prayers. :)

Have a wonderful week!!!
