Mid-week Activity for Relief Society

Just a reminder of our Relief Society Activity on Thursday May 12th @ 7:00 p.m.
Our next mid-week activity for Relief Society will be held on Thursday, May 12 at 7:00 p.m.  If you are a great gardener, or are just learning, do we have an activity for you!  Come share your ideas, questions, success's and disaster's of gardening with us.  Some of what we discuss could also be used for flower pots & flower gardens.
Ana Batty from Morning Glory Produce will be coming to give us a class on Gardening.  We hope that you will be able to come and support Sister Batty as she takes time from her busy spring gardening schedule to teach us, and answer any questions you may have on gardening. 
Even if you do not have a garden spot, but need to plant in containers, borrow space in a friend or neighbors garden spot, or use space at the community gardens,  this class can help you become more self-reliant as you and your family grow some of your own food.  This class isn't just for those with "green-thumbs", even if you think you have a 'brown or black-thumb' you are welcome to come and share your experiences (or disaster's) with us, and learn some new techniques to gardening in all aspects.
We will be at the chapel, in the Relief Society Room. It will start at 7:00 p.m. We are not planning on a nursery this month, as the last two months, we have had young women in the nursery, and no children came for them to spend time with.
We hope to see you there!

Funeral Services for Kathleen Siddoway

The Viewing for Sister Siddoway will be held on Thursday night, at the Blackburn Mortuary (Vernal Avenue & 100 North, across from the 7-Eleven) from 6:00-8:00 p.m.  The funeral will be held at the Vernal 5th ward chapel Friday May 13th, at 11:00 a.m., with a viewing 1 hour prior in the Relief Society room.
 
The Dinner for the family will also be held at the Vernal 5th ward chapel, after the family returns from the cemetery.  We are planning on at least 100 people, so we need to add to the list that was sent around in church on Sunday.  Sister Stagg will be calling to see who else may be able to help, or please call her ASAP at 789-2479 to volunteer.

Book Club Schedule

February
Cure for the Common Life by Max Lucado
It's only Sunday and you're already dreading Monday. You spend 50+ hours at a job you hate and come home too exhausted to pursue anything other than reality TV. You are not alone: 87 percent of workers don't find meaning at work and 80 percent believe their talents are unused. The resulting attitude impacts health, relationships, and a fundamental sense of happiness, but best-selling author Max Lucado has a cure. In his winsome, encouraging voice, Max gives practical tools to explore your uniqueness, find motivation to put it to work, and get perspective to redefine your concept of work. It's never too late to uncover strengths, discover God's will, and cure the otherwise hopeless prognosis of a common life.

March
Enders Game by Orson Scott Card
Ender Wiggin is a very bright young boy with a powerful skill. One of a group of children bred to be military geniuses and save Earth from an inevitable attack by aliens, known here as "buggers," Ender becomes unbeatable in war games and seems poised to lead Earth to triumph over the buggers. Meanwhile, his brother and sister plot to wrest power from Ender.
April
The Hiding Place by Corrie TenBoom
Corrie Ten Boom stood naked with her older sister Betsie, watching a concentration camp matron beating a prisoner."Oh, the poor woman," Corrie cried."Yes. May God forgive her," Betsie replied. And, once again, Corrie realized that it was for the souls of the brutal Nazi guards that her sister prayed.

Here is a book aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it. A story of Christ's message and the courageous woman who listened and lived to pass it along -- with joy and triumph!
May
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Charlotte Bronte's impassioned novel is the love story of Jane Eyre, a plain yet spirited governess, and her arrogant, brooding Mr. Rochester. Published in 1847, under the pseudonym of Currer Bell, the book heralded a new kind of heroine—--one whose virtuous integrity, keen intellect and tireless perseverance broke through class barriers to win equal stature with the man she loved. Hailed by William Makepeace Thackeray as "the masterwork of great genius,"Jane Eyre is still regarded, over a century later, as one of the finest novels in English literature.
June
Miss Potter by Richard Maltby
A novel based on the upcoming motion picture on Beatrix Potter's life, starring RenĂ©e Zellweger as Beatrix Potter and Ewan McGregor as the man she loved. Written by the film's screenwriter, the novel expands the plotline of his script, blending historical fact and imaginative interpretation to tell a moving story of a Victorian woman who against the odds finds independence, artistic success and romantic love
July
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

So begins 
Pride and PrejudiceJane Austen's witty comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the "most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author's works," and Eudora Welty in the twentieth century described it as "irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."

"The wit of Jane Austen has for partner the perfection of her taste."
