Seriously, Just Try This

Have you seen the helps available for memorizing the scripture mastery scriptures? Check this out. Click on one of the Book of Mormon scriptures. You can take out sections, you can listen to it, you can have it give you hints. Really. If you haven't memorized the scripture mastery scriptures yet, just try this. See how many you can pass off by the deadline.

Not only do we have amazing ways to assist us in memorization but the bishopric is giving us an extra week!! The new date for the pizza feast is Saturday, June 12. It will be at noon behind the church building. As long as at least one member of the family has memorized the scripture mastery scriptures, the whole family can come. (I've heard rumors of it being even more lenient than this.) Just make a sincere effort to memorize as many as you can. I absolutely believe that when we have scriptures memorized, the Holy Ghost can use them to guide us at any time. Just read 2 Nephi 32:3.

Feast Upon the Word

Time is running out! Our Ward pizza feast is on June 4. Do you have your scripture mastery scriptures memorized? If you need a list of them you can find them on the Book of Mormon bookmark found here. You can also pick one up from a bishopric member or a member of the RS presidency. Listed here are a few suggestions of ways to memorize, understand, and apply these scriptures. You can turn it into a game and make it fun!

Scripture Mastery Challenge

We have a challenge from our bishopric to memorize the Book of Mormon Scripture Mastery scriptures by June. After feasting upon the word and completing this challenge, we will gather to feast upon some pizza! This challenge is for all members of the family. If you don't have a scripture mastery list you can get one from a member of the bishopric or RS presidency. Check the column to the right each week for memorizing a new scripture and by the time June rolls around, you'll be done!

Ward Christmas Party

Come one Who, come all to our annual Whonderland of Whobilation! A celebration of the most wonderful occasion in the Whoville calendar, to a Christmas Wholiday Celebration! This year your presence is most important as we are celebrating our 1000th Whobilation! As mayor of Whoville, I strongly decree this is the place on Saturday, December 19th at 5 PM that all Whos shall be!

There will be dinner with roast beast, Who hash, and more! A rumor is had that Santa will be there to see all the good little Who boys and girls!

Christmas pajamas or long striped thigh highs; you will be judged on how Whonderful you arrive! So bring your favorite Who treats and sing with us at the Who Christmas feast!

Sincerely,

The Mayor of Whoville

The Chili Showdown

Friday, November 20 at 6:00 PM is our Ward Chili Cook Off at the church. If you're up for the challenge please bring your best pot of chili. Otherwise please bring a salad or a side dish. We need anything that will go with chili--corn casseroles, cornbread, tater tots, rice, green salad, or veggie trays. Watch for the sign up on Sunday. Come dressed in your western wear...to the cook off, not to church Sunday...just wanted to make that clear.

Happy Halloween!!!!

Only two more days until the best Halloween party around! Our activities committee has planned a great party complete with a costume parade (no gore please), jack-o-lantern contest, spook alley, and more! The festivities begin at 7:00 PM at the church.

See you there! Waa haa haa haaaaaaaaaa............

Ward "No Talent" Night

It's this Friday! Are you ready? It's going to be hilarious! The show starts at 7 PM but arrive a little early to get some fun treats and a good seat.
