Be Prepared for Anything: Why Preparedness and Staying on the Covenant Path Are More Important Than Ever

In today’s world, it’s essential to be prepared for any kind of emergency or disaster that may come our way. We never know when we might be faced with a situation where we have to take charge and help ourselves and others. Plan now for Saturday, April 20th. We will be having a Preparedness and Self-Reliance Fair. This event will be at the Fishburn meetinghouse and pavilion. The fair will run from 9 am to 5 pm and will consist of booths, presentations, and informational resources. Your participation will help all of us become more prepared and self-sufficient during emergencies.

If Financial Communication Doesn’t Come Naturally, You’re Not Alone

Money conversations with your spouse are imperative when you want to achieve joint goals, and yet they don’t always come easily. Money is a very personal topic, and many people are not accustomed to discussing it. It can be downright perplexing when your spouse refuses to work on a budget with you, create financial goals and objectives, or talk about a habit that may need to be addressed. Perhaps they are actively avoiding or even refusing to discuss a specific issue, or maybe they simply fail to engage when you raise a topic. Regardless, if you want to jump-start money conversations with your spouse, it’s helpful to first begin with why they are practicing avoidance.

Practical Courses with Spiritual Benefits

The Lord has said, “It is my purpose to provide for my saints . . . but it must needs be done in mine own way” (Doctrine and Covenants 104:15, 16). This is a promise that Heavenly Father will help take care of His children as they follow Him. Self-reliance does not mean that we can accomplish or obtain anything we want. If we are self-reliant we believe that through the power of Christ, and through our own effort, we can work for the spiritual and practical needs of life. Many people can become more self-reliant. With Self Reliance Groups much of the work takes place in small groups that combine spiritual principles with practical skills.

The next Self-Reliance Groups are scheduled to begin in September 2024. Groups will be organized based on individual interests.
