It has been several months since the missionaries had been teaching the Gospel Essential Class. I thought it would be cool if they had started that up again rather than have the new member interest attending the Gospel Doctrine class. But that was just my opinion. I obviously do not have the authority to change that. I did however remind Richard that it had been a thing. He is Sunday School president and brought it up in the leader’s meeting that takes place before church.
Last week Richard taught the gospel essentials
and had invited those members who have recently been baptized and those who are
seeking, the missionaries, and a few supporters – including candidates for teaching the
class. It is a class that I had attended during my time as a counselor in the
Relief Society. Even though I continue
to serve in the RS presidency, I am in a different position (secretary).
Meanwhile a new instructor has been
called to teach Sunday School and I somehow felt obligated to show my support
to her by attending her class –
which was really great. The Come Follow
Me program has our reading in Psalms and last week’s theme was on
repentance. Oh, my. What a powerful lesson. Participants pointed out the difference
between guilt and shame. Some of us
found comfort in Psalms 51:10 which reads:
“Create me a clean heart, O God; and
renew a right spirit within me.”
Heavenly Father loves us
unconditionally. It is important that we
can see ourselves through His eyes.
