More...

Sorry, just a few more things and some clarification!
The ward will be accepting small cash donations to send to the missionaries from our ward, at the ward party. If you want to write a check, you can write the checks directly to the missionaries, and Brother DuMoulin will give the checks to the missionaries’ parents to put in the missionaries’ accounts.

The Bishop has asked us to have every family in the ward visited in their homes by both their home teachers and their visiting teachers during the month of December, so we encourage everyone to make plans early and help accomplish this goal. (This was in the last email just worded differently! I guess now you know the Bishop has asked us to do it! Help your husbands do their home teaching as well!!!!)

This weeks announcements...

1. Ward Christmas Party December 4th, 6:30 at the church. We will be having dinner, and doing some serivce projects. We will be putting together food boxes for the Native American serivce project, tying quilts, and there will some activities for the children. We will also be writing letters to the misisonaries in our ward. If you would like to bring some money that night to dontate for care packages for the missionaries, that would be great! Thank you to those of you that signed up to bring cookies or brownies and centerpieces. We still need centerpieces. We are looking for anything Christ centered ie: a nativity. If you would be willing to bring one please reply to this email and let us know! Thanks

2. Visiting Teaching- We would like each sister in the ward to receive a visit from her visiting teachers in the month of December. Please plan now to get it done early! Thank you for all you do for those sisters you visit!

3. December 16th 6:30 Relief Society Activity. We will be having dinner and a program. We will get you more information soon!

4. Next week's lesson- I will Come Unto Christ through Focusing on Christ this Christmas.

Have a great week!

You have the spirit when . . .
You feel happy and peaceful.
Your mind is clear and confident.
You are not easily offended.
You are friendly and helpful toward others.
You are positive and optimistic.
You rejoice in the success of others.
You willingly serve and attend to church callings.
You are in control of your appetites and emotions.
You are mindful of the Savior and desire to pray.
You feel an eagerness to read the scriptures.
You strive to obey the Lord’s commandments.
