Announcements and Reminders:
Relief Society Temple Trip: Tuesday August 27th at 7pm. Book your appointment now! Invite a friend!
A Friend in need of our love and prayers. As you may be aware, Laurie Gabrielsen (formerly in Banbury ward, now in Wedgewood ward) is going through significant health challenges with metastatic breast cancer. She continues, as she has always been, to be positive and full of gratitude. She is currently quarantined but we would like to give back, in some small measure, the compassion, love, and light she has always shared with others, but particularly in her service as the Stake Relief Society President of the Meridian North Stake for several years. We are gathering handwritten notes (memories, her impact, uplifting thoughts, etc.) that will be delivered to her. If you would like to participate, please take your card to Beki’s house (at 1553 W Whiff drive, Eagle) by Friday August 8th. Thank you, we believe that these cards will brighten her day. You can also mail a card directly to her at: Laurie Gabrielson 1879 W Sugar Crest Street, Eagle ID 83616.

We can provide them with a meal to pick up and take home.

Elder Jeffrey R Holland said: “Last April, when President Russell M. Nelson introduced the concept of ministering, he stressed that it was a way to keep the great commandments to love God and love each other. We, as officers of the Church, openly applaud and congratulate you on the tremendous response you have begun in that regard. We thank you for following our beloved prophet in this wonderful endeavor and suggest that you not wait for many more instructions. Just jump into the pool and swim. Head toward those in need. Don’t be immobilized wondering whether you should do the backstroke or the dog paddle. If we follow the basic principles that have been taught, stay aligned with priesthood keys, and seek the Holy Spirit to guide us, we cannot fail.” Sisters, believe that as you try to look out for your sisters and become a part of their life, you will see that you are ministering. It is about knowing and doing for those you are stewards over.
BOISE BISHOPS’ STOREHOUSE
The Boise Home Storage Center (formerly at the Garden City Cannery) is open at 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
This location (by the Deseret Industries) has everything the Cannery location supplied.
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.
