St. John's RS Service Project

Every Monday at 1 PM the Relief Society is giving service at the St. John's church making sandwiches for the homeless. This can be a very humbling yet rewarding experience. In order to help make it possible for more sisters to go, I am offering my services of babysitting. I'm sure there are many of you who have small children who would like to help but feel that you can't because of the children. So, no excuses!! (: Feed your spirit by doing service! This is a great opportunity. It usually only takes about an hour if there are enough sisters to help!! Bring your babies to me and enjoy serving!!

gifts for missionaries

Last year we donated gifts (canned or boxed food, gift cards, fresh fruit, ties, etc) for the missionaries serving in the ward. We are doing it again this year. We want it to be a surprise for them so we aren't putting this announcement in the RS sheet that is on the table outside the RS room. We will only announce it in RS and through email.

If you can bring a wrapped gift for the missionaries it will be great. If you have any questions please contact Susan Holder, 452-0600 or 461-4926

We need the items to be brought to church this Sunday because we will give them to the Elders after the 3rd hour classes.

Granny Square Help

Hello Sisters!
I have been trying to learn how to do Granny Squares
....I am failing....
HELP!
Anyone out there willing to help.
The videos online make it look so easy.
I just do better watching someone and being able to say
"Stop! Do that again."
And then to have some one "supervise" me
and tell me how I am doing it wrong and say
"Stop! DON'T do that again!"
This is something I have wanted to learn for a long time....

I wish that I had asked my Granny!

Thanks!
Bree
