Tab Choir Tickets....

Mary Bitner has 4 tickets to the Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert on Sunday, Dec 19th.  The concert begins at 9 A.M., which is during our block time.  She is wondering if anyone has Friday or Saturday tickets that they would like to trade.  If you know of anyone who might be interested in making a trade with Mary, give her a call!  (801.571.6375)

Service Club June Activity

Our November Service project will be held on Tuesday, November 16^th at 6:30 at the church in the Relief Society room.  Jeana Bruse works with the special needs kids at the Canyons School District.  She has some projects that need completing which will require little time, but a lot of hands. There will be simple sewing involved, and some activities we will be putting together for the kids to help with their motor skills. If you can make it, please email me at arnovick1696@msn.com. We would like to get an accurate count so we can gather supplies accordingly. If you have a sewing machine you are willing to bring for use that night, please also let me know. This activity will take one hour. Plan on being done at 7:30… remember, service doesn’t need to take a lot of time, just a lot of heart!

Thanks for all you do, you sweet friends. Your willingness to serve does not go unnoticed!

We hope to see you there!

Service Club Activity

Our monthly service project will be held on Tuesday, October 26th. We have planned to put some freezer meals together for a few sisters in need. Sometimes it’s just nice to have something tucked away in a cold place when one needs a hot meal. Please meet in the church kitchen on Tuesday at 2 pm. We should be done no later than 3.


Please email me at arnovick1696@msn.com if you plan to attend. We would love your help with this great cause.

Thank you!!
