Christmas Party

The FHE committe put on a beautiful Christmas evening, filled with uplifting musical performances, pretty lights, decorations, tastey food, and a good 'ol White Elephant gift exchange. And can we talk about what a good looking ward we have? Everyone looked great!

President Thomas S. Monson declared that true love is a reflection of the Savior’s love. “In December of each year we call it the Christmas spirit. You can hear it. You can see it. You can feel it.”

 

 

Merry Christmas!!!

A time to serve

We had a charity auction last night! Even though the turn out at first was a bit disappointing, it was SO great! What a success! The people that offered their services were so kind, and those that offered to pay for them are just as great :) We had people giving everything from horse riding lessons, to a "good time" and a "better time," 4 course meals to a bean dip, music lessons and organ tours, even dates were auctioned off!

All of this was to help a few families in our area.  The money raised ($547) will be donated to help by Christmas gifts for these families in need.  What a great way to start off the Christmas season!


President Monson said:

“There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus Christ.  Because He came to earth, we have a perfect example to follow… It is His example which, if followed, stirs within us more kindness and love, more respect and concern for others.”

Find ways this Christmas to serve those around you.  I promise that this will be the best Christmas yet if we can all follow our Savior's example and give just a little bit more of ourselves!
