“Charity Never Faileth” stems from the first Relief Society meeting. The sisters were asked by the Prophet Joseph Smith to assist the brethren “in looking to the wants of the poor—searching after objects of charity, and in administering to their wants.”

Service: VISITING OSCAR'S DAD--Holiday Style

The holiday season is just around the corner and we need you! If you are interested in visiting Antonio Olaya (Elder Oscar Olaya's father) during the week of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and anytime in between, please let us know. We specifically need to see if anyone is around on Christmas Day to help coordinate the wondrous missionary phone call home. I'm not sure what your role would be for the phone call (I'm getting details as we speak), but don't fret--you don't need to be a Spanish speaker. If you are interested in helping out during the holidays, please shoot me an email or give me a call. Thanks!

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
