WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
October 2025
We all have times when we feel overwhelmed by the tasks that are put in our path, particularly if we’ve got a church calling that seems to ask more of us than we think we have to give. When that happens, we need to look at what Enoch said to the Lord when he was called to speak despite his being slow of words.
“Behold, my spirit is upon you. Wherefore all thy words will I justify. And the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course. And thou shall abide me and I in you. Therefore walk with me.”
The Lord will walk with us in all the difficult things we have to do in this life if we but turn to him for help. Walk with him.
Love,
Debbie L

FROM OUR STAKE LEADERS
UKRAINIAN FAMILY IN NEED OF DONATIONS
Hello Marietta Stake,
I was just made aware of a service opportunity that I would love your help on. The SCC Harvest Church (Slavic Christian Church) is helping a Ukrainian refugee family that will be coming in town this week. It is a husband and wife and two girls ages 13 and 7 years old. They have a place for them to stay but they are in need of items to set up their house. They think they are going to be able to get a bed so they need sheets for a queen size bed, they need a washer and dryer and anything else that you can offer. Please let me know if you can help in any way. My number is 407/592-8155 or email sararose7@gmail.com.
Thank you so much!
Sister Sara Rose
Elder and Sister Echols have been assigned to work with the Institute program at UNG. They would like the names of students from your ward/branch that will be attending UNG in the Fall. They are trying to get a headcount and information. If you know of any students that are going to be at UNG this Fall (or share this request with your YW/YM leaders), please send the following information to Sister Echols at tigerlady1956@gmail.com

Church Service Missionaries Needed:
There are needs for more CSMs to serve in the temple in areas like the Temple Laundry.
Church Service Missionaries are also needed to to teach institute online for the BYU Pathways program, especially internationally. You need to be 26 years old and up, and you can serve from 12- 24 months. You can work as few as four hours a week and as many as 40 hours per week. Again, this is online teaching.
It's been 23 years since The Tabernacle Choir was in the Southeastern US and we're excited to welcome them back. Mark your calendars now for September 11th – you won’t want to miss this!
Free ticket registration begins July 1st. You should register early for the best seating. Tickets cannot be returned, so please plan to use the tickets. Simply go to www.choirworldtour.com and enter the code SFMARIETTA for tickets allocated to the Marietta Georgia Stake. Attendees must be 8 years of age or older.

Friends!
Fall is here!
On Saturday 9/23/23 the Relief Society Sisters enjoyed an afternoon together
fellowshipping and crafting!
The October RS lunch meet up was held at the church and meals were prepared to be frozen and kept for when a sister or family has a need arise.
Thank you to all the sisters who helped with the service project either by donating ingredients and/or by helping to put the meals together. I hope you all had a great visit with one another and enjoyed the yummy lunch.
