Relief Society Sunday meetings are held at 10:00am on the 2nd and 4th Sundays in the Relief Society room.

• TEMPLE TUESDAYS – ‘Let’s Put the Temple 1st and 4most’

  • • • Below are our Relief Society temple sessions for April.  Remember, 1st and 4th Tuesday are our RS temple days!

        • • Tuesday, April 2 – 10am morning session

            • • Temple appoinments are highly recommended

              • If you have questions or want to carpool, reach out to any member of the RS presidency.

          • Tuesday, April 23 – 7pm evening session

• Stake Humanitarian Workday - Thursday, April 25 - Stop by anytime between 10:00am-1:00pm at the Stake Center. It's more than sewing! No special skills needed. Come gather, make new friends, and work on service projects that benefit others in our community.

  • • QUILT ASSIGNMENTS - The wards in our stake used to rotate donating bed size quilts for us to tie at our Stake Humanitarian workdays. Because we had a wonderful sister in our Stake who was able to provide quilts for us the last few years, the ward quilt responsibility was suspended. This dear sister is now in her mid 80’s and we feel that she needs a break. Therefore, the Stake Humanitarian Committee is again assigning wards to provide bed size quilts to tie at our workdays.

      • • • • The Banbury ward will be in charge of supplying the quilt for the Stake Humanitarian Day in July 2023.  More info will come from our Ward Humanitarian specialist.

• RELIEF SOCIETY SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

  • • • Many of the groups are up and going. Some will start up in the spring because of being held outdoors. Some still have no leader and nothing has happened with them.

      • Below you will find the list of groups and who the leader is. If you would like to join one please contact the leader of that group. If you are interested in being the leader of a group that doesn’t have one, please let us know. Being a group lead isn’t difficult or time-consuming. The initial setup just takes organizing a get-together or a group text and deciding how to proceed (which everyone can help with). We will try and keep you informed with what’s going on with the groups on a monthly basis (or more) through the RS newsletter.

• BOISE BISHOPS’ STOREHOUSE CHANGES - Some exciting, new changes are being made at the Boise Bishops’ Storehouse. 

• 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:

  1. 1. 1. Tuesday 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm

        2. Saturday 10:00 am to 2:00 pm

• This location (by the Deseret Industries) should be more easily accessed by the members in our area and will have everything the Cannery location supplied. 

• We are sorry to say that the Bishops’ Storehouse will no longer have a lobby area for extra family members to wait while their orders are being filled. 

• Also, we are not able to do “fill ahead” pick up orders because there is not an area to store the filled shopping carts awaiting the patron's arrival.

• We won’t fill any orders until the patron arrives, so there is no need to call ahead. 

• Call when you arrive and we will promptly fill the order with you.

• FAMILY SERVICES - Family Services provides a variety of services aimed towards helping families overcome specific challenges.  We’ve been advised that the Church will now cover the expenses of counseling and other family services.  You still must get the Bishop’s approval to use these services. If you have any questions, please reach out to Kim Roth.

• REFUGEE WINTER COAT, HAT & GLOVE DRIVE - Coats, hats and gloves are the #1 requested item by refugees. Sisters, start scouring clearance or sales online for all sizes of all items, male and female.  Drop them by Ann DeBurgh or Dan Stone’s homes, or contact either of them to arrange pick up.  We hope to have a surplus to help current and incoming refugees. Thank you for your generosity.

• PICKLEBALL!

  • • • UPDATED HOURS FOR RELIEF SOCIETY ONLY - 10am-noon every Tuesday at the Stake Center. All Relief Society sisters are welcome!

      • There are also Pickleball Nets available to use at our building if sisters would like to play other times. These buildings will need to be scheduled on the Stake Calendar if a regular use is wanted.

      • Call Brooke Cleverly with interest in nets, new scheduling, or any other questions.
