I Am the Bread of Life

Join us on Thursday, December 5th at 6:30 pm for our Christmas activity. It will be a progressive dinner and spiritual feast!

Christmas Countdown Instructions

1. Cut out the cream colored poem and nativity pieces.You can cut them close to the borders or leave a bubble border, whatever look you prefer.

2. Arrange the pieces how you want them and glue together. Be sure that the large hole is at the bottom center of the green paper and the two small holes are at the top corners.

3. Cut a piece of plastic wrap that is about two feet long. We found it was best to also cut it down the middle so that it is half as wide, but that is optional.

4. Line up the pieces of gum on the plastic wrap, leaving a tail of an inch or two at one end.

 5. Wrap the plastic wrap around the gum.

6. Tie a piece of ribbon between each piece of gum and at the end that does not have a tail.

Alternatively, if you do not want to bother with plastic wrap, you can tie the pieces of gum together as shown in the picture below.

7. Thread the plastic wrap tail through the large hole in the bottom of the green piece of paper.

8. Tie the last piece of ribbon around the tail to create a secure attachment of the gum to countdown card. (If you opt to not use plastic wrap, you can use this piece of ribbon to tie one end of the gum chain you created to the hole in the green paper.)

9. Bend the spiral twisted wire into a semi circular shape. Insert the ends of the wire into the small holes at the top of the green paper and pinch them to secure. Pliers may be useful for working the end of the wire to get it the way you want.

Chicks on the Run (Walk/Jog/Bike)

Our Chicks on the Run 5k will be this Saturday, October 12, at 6:30 am. Meet at the church to begin the course. You don't have to run to participate. Please come walk, jog, or even bike. We look forward to seeing you bright and early Saturday morning!

Welcoming Christ into Your Home for the Holidays: Make-and-Take Craft Night

August 2013 Relief Society Meeting

 

If you missed this HUGE Flip Flop in the hall by the Relief Society Room, here is the scoop on this fun activity for our August mid-week meeting ~

 

 

In order to make certain there are enough supplies for everyone to decorate their flip flops, please let Sister Watkins or Sister Roberts know how many pairs of flip flops you are decorating.  You can do that in the RS binders or just give them a text or quick phone call.

Be prepared to get wet..... you don't have to swim but there will be "water" activities and you may be in the "splash zone"! 

See you Thursday, August 15 at the Kelly's house ~ 7720 Galacian Pony St, 89131.  Hawaiian dress is optional but certainly welcome!
