Project Overview

The purpose of this project is to bring you closer to Christ through the Book of Mormon. Our Stake Presidency has challenged us to read the Book of Mormon in its entirety before the end of the year while paying special attention to Christ and His mission in the Plan of Salvation. We will be reading the Book of Mormon from August 1-December 31, and our ward will be focusing on the references to Christ throughout the Book of Mormon. As you read we invite you to mark in Red each reference to the Savior. You will be amazed how often He is mentioned.
It is our hope that you accept this challenge with an open heart and know that as you complete the Book of Mormon, you will have a stronger testimony of the importance of this book and its account and witness of Jesus Christ. Remember that through prayer and study you will be able to obtain a stronger testimony as well as a desire to learn more. We hope you will join us as we feast upon the words of Christ together and grow spiritually through this experience.

Women of the Book of Mormon

Thursday, 9/15 our Relief Society had a WONDERFUL enrichment activity where we "met" 7 Women of the Book of Mormon. They sat with us at table hile we ate our supper and later took the microphone and told us about their lives in Book of Mormon times. These synopses, written with such care by Wendi Egnew, gave us insights into the trials and times of these women, and related them to our current day. We met Sariah (Shari Ayers), Lamoni's Wife (Brianna Wheeler), Abish (Jennifer Standiford), Lamoni's Queen Mother (Jessica Williams), the Mother of one of the 2,000 stripling warriors (Jennifer Terkelson), Mormon's wife (Rose Hudson) and historical narrator, (Leslie Smith). Thanks to the RS Enrichment Committee for presenting us with such an inspiring evening. I can hardly wait to meet up with these women again as I continue reading the Book of Mormon as part of this project.

This was a wonderful evening where we were able to learn more about the women of the Book of Mormon. It let you take a peek into their lives and see them as "real" people instead of as a name on a page in the scriptures. Thanks to everyone for making it a great evening!
