11. Don’t forget to get your “boarding pass” from a member of the bishopric for the Stake Adult Dance which will be held June 25th at 8pm.

This week's lesson was on reverence. We received counsel from the bishopric about increasing our reverence at church, in the temple, in our homes, in every aspect of our lives. Reverence is not only being quiet but having a deep respect and love for our Savior and Heavenly Father. As we are reverent we will open ourselves to receive revelation and allow that opportunity for others.

Next week is Stake Conference.
