Granny's Attic

The "Back to School - Grannys Attic" will be Saturday, August 18 from 9:00 till noon at the Hurst Stake Center.  All are welcome to donate items of clothing, shoes, etc for this event. We as a Ward have the opportunity to provide packets of pens and glue sticks to help those in our area with provisions for their children as they start back to school.  

 

Walmart has packages of pens for 97 cents and glue sticks for 10 cents each.  There will be a container in the foyer on Sunday for these items, and the container will remain there until Sunday August 12.  Your donations can be given to Cheri or myself.  Thank you for your help. 

We are midway through another month, we know that lives are very busy and appreciate all you do.  We encourage you to contact your sisters, either by phone, a letter or a phone call.  Thank you!

 

"And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God"

Things to know

We are changing things up to having an Additional Relief Society Meeting just once a quarter. We are in the works for planning a Practical Emergency Preparedness for June and will keep you posted!

More things just to know:
The Stake will be having another granny's attic exchange in August.

In September we are planning a fun, affordable family tree project. Keep that in mind as you are doing your family research. You will need to have the name & birthdates of the husband & wife as well as the same information for their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. There will also be an indexing class for those interested.

May Temple Trip

Due to a conflict we have postponed the Temple trip until Thursday, May 24th at 8:30 am. We hope that this will not inconvenience anyone. Please contact Sister Jordan if you plan to attend to arrange carpool.
