Super Saturday Success!

We had a wonderful turnout at the Super Saturday Christmas in September activity today. Thanks to all who came and participated. We enjoyed yummy breakfast, socializing, making new friends, and creating cute crafts! We were having so much fun that we forgot to take pictures when everyone was there. But here are some before and after shots.









A big thanks especially goes to Karen Bateman and Bonnie Muir for organizing the event.

Still to come: Instructions and pictures of each craft

Last-minute update for Nativity Blocks

Sisters who have signed up for the Nativity Blocks for Super Saturday: A few things . . .

1. If you want to have a big bow at the top of your block, make sure your ribbon is at least 2 yards long.

2. Could you please bring some scissors to share? (Please tie a small ribbon on the handle or something to identify yours.)

3. It's best if you can buy your string of lights before Saturday so you won't have to untie your bow to add the lights later. See previous post about where you can find them for a good deal.

We ARE Friends

In studying the Relief Society lesson for this Sunday, Chapter 40 in the Joseph Smith manual, I came upon a great poem by an unknown author-

"I saw him once, he stood a moment there,

He spoke a word that laid his spirit bare.

He grasped my hand then passed beyond my ken-

But what I was, I shall not be again."

We are constantly given opportunities, by the Lord through this church organization, to rub shoulders, socialize (remember Super Saturday on Sept 19th!!!), serve, and become friends. Since I have had this calling, and have rubbed shoulders with many of you, I feel I will not ever be the same again. I am better because I have you as my friends!

Scout Shirt Round-up

The cub scout pack and the scout troop are in need of scout shirts for the closet. If you have a shirt that your son has outgrown please contact Angie Alford.

Sweet Surprise

For any of you who store or use massive amounts of white sugar I found a great deal at Sams Club on Coit Road. You can buy 25 pounds of white Imperial Brand Extra Fine Granulated Sugar for $6.01. That is less than half of the regular price. I think they are changing the packaging or the brand Sams carries.

Update.

I went in to buy some more sugar and found the price is up to $11.32. I guess it was a pricing error. I hope at least some of you got the good deal.
