PRESIDENCY MESSAGE

Dear Sisters,

Happy Spring! I hope this message finds you well. As we look forward to Easter, I wanted to share some thoughts inspired by President Russell M. Nelson's talk, The Answer is Always Jesus Christ, given at the April 2023 General Conference.

In his message, President Nelson emphasized the profound importance of Easter, calling it "the most important religious observation for followers of Jesus Christ." He encouraged us to study and savor the sacred scriptures that recount our Savior’s journey: His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the cleansing of the temple, His agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, His crucifixion, His glorious Resurrection, and His appearances to His followers in Jerusalem and in the Americas. Our dear prophet then invited us to “find every way you can to thank our Heavenly Father for sending us His Only Begotten Son.”

Through Jesus Christ, we are blessed with the opportunity to repent and be forgiven of our sins. It is because of Him that each of us will be resurrected. Truly, this is cause to rejoice and celebrate. 

As Easter approaches, I hope we take the time to follow President Nelson's counsel: “Learn more about His Atonement, His love, His mercy, His doctrine, and His restored gospel of healing and progression. Turn to Him! Follow Him.” By doing so, we can deepen our connection to our Savior and allow His influence to shape our Easter traditions and celebrations. As President Nelson testified, “Following Him is the only way to enduring happiness.”

May this Easter season bring you joy and peace as we celebrate our Savior.

Love, Kim McKenna

FAMILY HISTORY

 There are many blessings that are promised to those who endeavor to make time for family history and temple work. Each of us has the opportunity to have these blessings in our life and not without also being given the energy and capacity to receive them.

“If you’d like a little more joy in your life, a little more meaning, more heart-to-heart connections, more focus, energy, motivation, more of so many wonderful things, make time to help those on the other side make covenants with God. The power of God will flow into your life as you do.”  Sister Wendy Watson Nelson
