Did you know there is a Hobble Creek Stake website? You can schedule an appointment for a temple recommend renewal or an ecclesiastical endorsement interview through there. There are also links to help parents, young members, prospective missionaries, etc. Hobble Creek Stake Web Page
The RS newsletter is emailed out monthly (on the last day of each month). If you have something that needs to be included, please email that information to Nikki Alley (nikkimomalley@gmail.com) a few days before the end of the month.
Who: All Ministering Sisters
What: Quarterly Ministering Interviews ("Didn't we just have those?", you ask. Feels like it, but actually, no. That was waaaay back in February, and now it's time for 2nd Quarter Interviews. Crazy, huh?!)
Where: Classrooms on the west side of the church building
When: Sunday, May 17th, 2-4pm. There will be a sign-up sheet on a table outside the classrooms. Sign up there, and we'll go down the list to interview people. Get it done right after church or feel free to go home, change into comfy clothes, and then come back later. You have options 😄
Why: Because we LOVE meetings! 🤪 JK. Because we want to know how you're doing, how the sisters you minister to are doing, and how we as a Relief Society Presidency can support you in ministering as the Savior would. ♥️
