Welcome!

These monthly newsletters (from January 2011 to present) are to help us all be more prepared. They are written for the Hurricane Utah Stake (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,) but everyone is welcome to make copies. Many other groups and individuals are using them. (Note: Garden tips are for Southern Utah. You may need to adjust to fit your climate.)

December 2021 Back to Basics Newsletter

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Trees are decorated, lights are hung, and nativities set up. In some places snow flurries are swirling, and in others they are only “dreaming” of a White Christmas! It truly is “the most wonderful time of the year!” This is a season of extra love, care and kindness as we search for the perfect gift and find ways to serve. It is the perfect time to give “preparedness!” We can give gifts to help family and friends “Be Prepared. We can give service to a neighbor to help them Be Prepared for winter. (Cut a load of wood, rake their leaves, or clean the rain gutters.) The lists of gifts we can give are as endless as people’s needs vary. We can also gift ourselves and families with the Spirit of Christmas – which is the Spirit of Christ. As we draw near to Him, whose birth we celebrate, we fill our spiritual preparedness lamps. May we help each other be a little more prepared with the gifts we bring. And may YOUR days “be merry and bright” as we bring The Light of Christ into this world, and prepare for His 2nd coming.
