September 21st Announcements

Hello 201st ward Relief Society! Here are the announcements for this week:

Remember to check out our Relief Society Blog at http://byu201rs.blogspot.com/!

Church-y Announcements:

This week's lesson will be Chapter 41: Becoming Saviors on Mount Zion.

Ward Choir-
We are desperately seeking voices for our ward choir for Sunday, September 27 and October 11 (ward conference)...and every week excluding fast Sundays in the future :). We have been asked to sing in sacrament meeting both of these days and would love to have all willing to participate join us! We will be singing two easy pieces (I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus/Be Still My Soul) and even if you haven't been to our practices before we want you to come!

We will be meeting before church at 12:10 in the chapel and DELICIOUS GOODIES WILL BE PROVIDED so don't miss out on the fun!!!

The General Relief Society Meeting will be held this Saturday, September 26th at 6:00 pm.
You can watch it at the BYU 17th stake center (710 S 800 E in Orem by Costco) or on the internet, BYU-TV or KBYU-TV. Check local listings for times.

General Conference is Coming! Take some time to spiritually prepare for a wonderful weekend Oct. 3-4.

Fast Sunday will be October 11th.

The "Prepare Now!" stake preparedness activity will be on Saturday October 17th from 10:00am-12:00pm at our building with JDawgs for lunch afterward. This is a great, informative activity that is well worth your time. Last year they covered not only food storage and emergency preparedness but also had mini classes on finances, wills and other important topics.
