We celebrated  Family Home Evening and Favorite Things at our August Activity.

"A Few of our Favorite Things".

Everyone brought two items to give to someone else,

 as well as a Family Home Evening Idea!

The FHE ideas were wonderful, as well as the "favorite things".

We all had a great time, everyone contributes so well!
There was a lot of laughter!

It's also great to see everyone using their "favorite things"
 and posting how they are enjoying them!

Next month we are focusing on Seasons:  The Seasons Of Life.

We are looking forward to September 13th.

Super Saturday!

We will be crafting for the upcoming seasons!

Thank you to everyone!
We hope you are all enjoying your
Family Home Evening in a Jar!

We love and appreciate you all!

A Super Saturday Reminder

Don't forget

Money is due for Super Saturday projects by August 21.

Please see display in the foyer on Sunday.

This will be our last Sunday (August 17, 2014) to display Super Saturday Projects.

You may pay for your projects on Sunday as well.

A order form was made for easy payment.

We will have more order forms for you on Sunday.

We need to order materials asap, so please pay promptly.

The sewing classes will not be omitted, due to class size.

We feel a smaller class size is beneficial for learning how to sew.

Thank you all!

We look forward to seeing you all at our August Activity.
