It's Almost Here!

Only five more days until Super Saturday. Here are a few updates...

If you signed up for dish etching, you need to know that some Pyrex dishes don't etch. The only way of knowing is by testing it. If your dishes are Pyrex you may want to test a little spot on Saturday to see if it works. You have one shot with the vinyl template. You might want to bring a back up dish.

If other options are exhausted and you are planning on taking advantage of the childcare, please be aware that our resources are limited and it is a long time for children to stay in the nursery. We will do our best to mix things up and help the children to have a good time but our resourses are limited. If your children will be there during lunch time please pack a sack lunch for them.

We have 15 extra nativities available for $15 each until they're gone.

If you'd like to bring a crock pot soup or salad please email us. See you Saturday!

Stake Conference

Stake Conference? But we just had it. This is what you may be saying to yourself. Well, we have the amazing opportunity this coming Sunday to hear from an apostle of the Lord. Elder L. Tom Perry is coming to speak to us. In our building! (I think our family will be camping out in a tent by the front door Saturday night. Just kidding...but seriously, you may want to get there early.)

Shepherding Night

That's right. We are starting another group. We feel this is vitally important. Every third Wednesday of the month we will be going out to find the sisters in our ward who may need help and support. This is what Relief Society is all about. Please mark your calendars. The number of sisters we find depends on it.

Service Opportunity

Help is needed at the Bishop's Storehouse on November 4 and 18 from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM to fill food orders. Please contact us if you are available to help.

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............

Super Saturday

The deadline to sign up for Super Saturday is this Sunday, Oct 25. You can see the projects offered on the Super Saturday blog and find prices there too. You need to pay for your projects when you sign up. Invite your friends and neighbors!

Cooking Group

If you liked it before, you'll love it now! Cooking group from now on will include learning how to make something. You are not required to bring any food--not that you were before, I just want to stress that. If we have a cooking group on bread making for instance, you can just come learn more about bread making, or if you feel you have experience in bread making and you'd like to contribute you can bring examples or something to eat with it. Whatever. Although these lessons will be taught by a specific person it is meant to be a cumulative learning so come contribute! I hope that makes sense....

Our next Cooking Group will be on Wednesday, November 4 at 7 PM at Tara L.'s house. More info to come.

How Can I Participate More in RS, You Ask?

After Sister Beck's talk a few weeks ago at the General RS Meeting, there have been a few changes in our Enrichment Groups. For one thing, they are no longer called Enrichment Groups. We will call them what they are. In our ward, you may notice some of these groups coming and going over the next little while as we try to meet the needs of the sisters while following the goals and guidelines spoken of in Sister Beck's talk.

Please share with us your ideas and keep in mind with each group that starts up, it's going to need a leader to keep it running. For instance there is great interest in beginning a sewing or quilting group but we need someone who would be willing to keep it going, host it or find hosts for it, etc.

Please take a minute and vote about the two proposed groups in the poll on the right. Thank you!

Deployed Spouses Group

Due to a lack of availability of the community centers the Deployed Spouses trunk-or-treat has been cancelled...that sounds funny. I don't think it was the spouses themselves that would be begging for treats but you never know. I'd do just about anything for chocolate.

Remember the Ward Halloween party coming up Oct. 30. There will be plenty of treats to be had there!

Book Group

Time again for book group. It will be at Robbie's house on Wednesday at 7:30. Hope to see you there. For more info or to vote on next month's book, go to http://www.momsthatread.blogspot.com/
