💛✨ Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day! ✨💛

Today is a beautiful reminder that the smallest gestures can make the biggest difference. A smile, a kind word, or a helping hand can completely change someone’s day.

Here are a few simple ways to spread kindness today (and every day!):

🌟 Give Compliments: Offer sincere compliments to friends, family, and even strangers to brighten their day.

☕ Pay It Forward: When you’re at a drive-thru, pay for the order of the person behind you.

💌 Send Thoughtful Messages: Send uplifting messages or notes to friends, reminding them of your appreciation and support.

🏡 Help a Neighbor: Assist a neighbor with tasks like shoveling snow, mowing their lawn, or grocery shopping.

🎗️ Donate to Charity: Contribute to a charitable organization or cause that you’re passionate about.

👵 Visit the Elderly: Spend time with elderly individuals in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, offering companionship and a listening ear.

🤝 Volunteer Your Time: Volunteer at local charities, shelters, or community events to make a positive impact.

Tag someone who inspires you with their kindness. 💕

We are excited for our combined Relief Society activity with the Mechanicsville stake next Saturday, February 21st at 10:00 am at the Pump Road building. We will be hosting President Bonnie H. Cordon as the keynote speaker in the chapel, followed by brunch and a simple service activity in the cultural hall.

Please see the attached flyers for information on the event and requested period product donations as part of the service project.

We look forward to sharing our love of the Savior, our love for each other, being spiritually fed, and serving others. Please share this information as a reminder to your friends and ward members.

**NEW DATE**

Due to an unexpected family event preventing President Cordon from joining us this Saturday, along with concerns about the ice and snow-packed roads that will likely not thaw by Saturday, plus another snowstorm forecasted for our area this coming weekend, we are postponing our Stake Relief Society activity to Saturday, February 21st @ 10:00 am at the Pump Road building.

We apologize for the date change, but look forward to seeing everyone gathered together a few weeks from now.

Stay safe and warm!
