2011 Theme: The Errand of Angels

The errand of angels is given to women; and this is a gift that as sisters we claim:
To do whatsoever is gentle and human, To cheer and to bless in humanity's name.

Lesson Notes

Todays lesson was "Unselfish Service" from the April General Conference by Elder Dallin H. Oaks. Elder Oaks reminded us that "The Savior gave Himself in unselfish service. He taught that each of us should follow Him by denying ourselves of selfish interest in order to serve others."

"It is not easy to give up our personal priorities and desires." Elder Oaks reminded us. "Those who are caught up in trying to save their lives by seeking the praise of the world are actually rejecting the Savior's teaching that the only way to save our eternal life is to love one another and lose our lives in service."

"The values of the world wrongly teach that 'It's all about me'. That corrupting attitude produces no change and no growth. It is contrary to eternal progress toward the destiny God has identified in HIs great plan for His children. The plan of the gospel of Jesus Christ lifts us above our selfish desires and teaches us that this life is all about what we can become."
