Bearing of Testimonies
What is the Bearing of Testimonies?
In a fast and testimony meeting, there are no assigned speakers or special musical selections. Instead, the person conducting bears a brief testimony. He then invites members of the congregation to bear their testimonies. To bear testimony means to declare gospel truths as inspired by the Holy Ghost.

Benediction: John Cole

Announcements
🎁 Christmas Gift Drive This Week
Dear Sisters,
We have the opportunity this Christmas to provide gifts for two needy families in our stake (Via Verde Ward). Our ward Relief Society will be putting together stockings for each adult and child to deliver with the gifts. We will be putting these together at our December 9th activity night (6 PM).
We have 10 Adults (ages 15+) and 8 children (14 and under). We have put together a list of non-gender suggested stocking stuffers that might be helpful when you are shopping. The lists below are just suggestions. You may choose other items that would be appropriate, but keep them small so that they will fit into a regular-size stocking. The Relief Society will be providing filler items such as small bags of chips or cookies and crackers, juice boxes, etc.
If you have any questions, please contact a member of the Relief Society Presidency or Sister Kimberlee Hollander (RS Activities Chair). Do NOT wrap the stocking stuffers. Thanks for your willingness to give!!
