Banbury Ward Council Message
Banbury Ward Council Message
Rejoice in Christ
As a Ward Council, we have been discussing the theme for the upcoming dedication of the Salt Lake Temple, "Rejoice in Christ” and it has been in my thoughts.
In 2 Nephi 25:26 we read:
"And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."
I think one of the beautiful things about Nephi's words, "we rejoice in Christ," is that rejoicing in Christ is something I can do every day. I can choose to rejoice in Christ regardless of what is happening in my life.
Here are some ways I can choose to rejoice in Christ:
I can rejoice in Jesus Christ by attending church and gathering with others who are also striving to follow Him and rejoice in Him.
I can rejoice in the opportunity I have to repent and start anew each day because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
I can rejoice in Jesus Christ when I am going through difficult times in my life, knowing that He is always there for me.
I can rejoice in Christ by having gratitude for all that I have and noticing His hand in my everyday life. Whether it is through a comforting scripture, an answer to prayer, a kind person, or simply a feeling of peace.
I can rejoice in Jesus Christ by trying to be more like Him through ministering, kindness, forgiveness, and service to others.
I can rejoice in Christ by remembering that He loves me and knows me personally.
I can rejoice in Christ by making the temple a more important part of my life and attending more often.
I think we will all go through difficult times in our lives. But as we choose to rejoice in Christ, we can find peace in knowing that we are never alone. As we pour out our hearts to Him, trust in Him, and strive to become more like Him, we can feel the peace and strength that only He can provide.
I hope we can each find ways to make rejoicing in Christ a part of our everyday lives, not just during special occasions like a temple dedication, but always.

Are you interested in being called as a Temple and Family History Worker with the assignment to work in the Family Search Center? Like a temple worker, this would be a weekly commitment, however each shift is only 2.5 hours. This is an extremely fulfilling calling and an opportunity for anyone to serve the Lord in a meaningful way. Those who work at the center are witnesses to the miracles that happen there and the joy that the work brings into their lives. Please reach out to a member of the bishopric if this is something you would like to discuss.
The Boise Home Storage Center (formerly at the Garden City Cannery) is now open at its new location on 10740 West Fairview Suite 300, Boise, Idaho 83713. This location (by Deseret Industries) is easily accessible and fully stocked! Hours of operation are:
Tuesday 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Saturday 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
