Come enjoy an evening together as we visit and usher in the holidays!
A light dinner will be served at 6:00 which will include lots of yummy recipes. Come any time during the evening to visit, eat, participate in service projects and/or make some fun inexpensive gifts (ranging from 50 cents-$12!) to take home.
Service Activities: “Give the gift of service”
*Quilts for Humanitarian*- Sis Crandall has lovingly prepared nine quilts to be tied on this night. They will then be donated to bless the lives of many. Thank you Linda!
*Happy Holiday “Hospital “ Kits* -
This year we are participating in a special service project; making packages to send to Primary Children’s Hospital. Each year many parents spend their holidays in hospitals with sick children. As a parent it is a tender time to be at a hospital rather than at home participating in the festivities. These little kits will warm their hearts and lighten their load. We, as a ward, would like to contribute 20 kits to donate before Thanksgiving.
These kits will be put together and decorated at this activity. We need 20 of each item listed below. If you would like to help by donating, please sign up in the kitchen or call Mindy Cutler or Tracey Smithee.
*See example in the kitchen display.
The list for donations includes:
-Chapstick
-travel size lotion
-toothbrush
-bottled water
-flavor packet for bottled water
-cozy socks
-small note book
-pencil or pen
-Christmas ornament (can be homemade, store bought, etc.)
-Holiday CD (as inexpensive as we can find)
-Holiday pillow case (donate a yard of Christmas fabric and/or volunteer to make the cases) *pattern will be provided*
