Service for our adopted Grandparents

As some of you may know, we are adopting an Assisted Living Center. We are hoping to make the lives of these ladies (and a few gentlemen) warmer all year...starting now!

So we are going to have a service/playdate on December 9th at the church. We are hoping to tie fleece lap blankets for these folks. If you can, bring 1 1/2 yd segments of fleece to tie. (Fleece is 30 % off at Hobby Lobby this week) If you can't bring fleece, come and visit and tie fleece! We will start at 9:30 am and go until we are finished! Feel free to bring a snack, goodies are never a bad idea....

Donations needed for Missionary Stockings!

We are in need of donations to fill up the stockings for some of the missionaries that serve in this area. We have 27 stockings to fill! So put a few extra items on your grocery list or whip up a batch of your famous fudge and let's pitch in to help these servants of the Lord feel loved and cared for this Christmas.

Here is a list of suggestions for stocking stuffers:

Hot chocolate packets

Nuts

Dried fruits

Candy

Beef jerky

Restaurant gift certificates

CDs of sacred music

Pens or pencils

Thank-you cards

Lotion for sisters

Deodorant

Lip balm or chap stick

Postage stamps

Apple cider packets

Other mixes, homemade or store bought

Snack packs (like the 100 calorie kind)

Small packages of Kleenex for pockets or purses

The stockings are for 13 senior Sisters, 11 senior Elders, 3 young Sisters, for a total of 27 local missionaries.

These donations need to be in by December 7th, so let's get going! Bring donations to church or bring them to Carolyn Stout.

We had a great time at Alissa's sewing bibs for humanitarian aid. We finished 18 bibs and learned how to make them for ourselves! Thanks Alissa!

November 18th we had a bread making class at Emily Rownak's house. She demonstrated how to make a FANTASTIC loaf of wheat bread. We learned and we ate! Thanks Emily!

Bread class ....mmmm...yummy

Hello Sisters! Sorry this is last minute. The bread class is this morning at 10:30 am at Emily Rownak's house. You and I both know that when Emily makes the bread for sacrament, we've been tempted the take another piece...c'mon admit it!

Call me for directions!

See you there.

Sewing Class

Hello Ladies! We are planning a small Enrichment Activity on Thursday at 9:30 am at Alissa Brown's house. It is a simple sewing class and we will be learning how to make the Humanitarian bibs. Please give me a quick reply if you would like to attend so we know how many to expect! Also, all you young moms, these bibs are great and would make a good addition to your own bib stash at home.

P.S. This is the first of many simple sewing projects we will be working on, so if this doesn't grab you, maybe the next one will!

Primary Dates to Remember

Priesthood Preview - This Sunday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. For all boys who will turn 12 in 2009 and their parents.

Primary Program Practice - Saturday, Nov. 16 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. This is our only practice in the Chapel this year, so please try and get your little ones there. Also, please help them work on memorizing their parts. We will practice during Primary on Sunday and it would be awesome if they all had their parts memorized by then. If you have lost your parts or have any questions, contact Molly Lysenko.

Primary Christmas Activity - Saturday, Dec. 6 10-12 at the Ward Building. Children will be asked to bring a $1 gift to donate to a local children's shelter. If this is not doable, please let a member of the Primary Presidency know and we'll make sure your child has one to bring, too.
