Quote

"Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don't judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone's differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another's weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other."

Service: Harlem Day!

Harlem Day, on August 16, is a street fair which celebrates Harlem's history. This is the 6th year our Stake has participated in Harlem Day by sharing genealogy, in particular the availability of African-American Records, with the Harlem Community. The event is a successful public outreach effort for our church, as well as an enriching service opportunity.
We need lots of help from members of our stake in various ways:

1. We need volunteers to provide laptops for their shift (or duration, if possible) to help patrons search the records
2. We need volunteers to sit at the laptops and teach patrons how to search genealogy records and help them start a pedigree chart
3. Volunteers will also stand outside the booth to help draw attendees to our FREE services
   

If you'd like an opportunity to be a member missionary in a unique way and serve the Harlem community by helping them search for their ancestors, this is for you. We have a ton of fun each year, and our success is dependent on the many volunteers from the stake.

Our ward has been asked to provide 10-15 volunteers and 8-10 computers (PC's only) for Sunday, Aug. 16th, from 10:30am-12:45pm. To sign up, please contact Camas Hunter at camas.hunter@gmail.com

You've had a birthday; shout “Hooray!"

Scripture Challenge (Aug 2 - 15)!

Prayerfully read the scriptures for 30 min a day for 2 weeks...

Happy Happy Birthday from all of us to you!
