Christmas Stockings

For our December service project we will be making up Christmas Stockings for Women and Children in Crisis Center, a local abuse shelter.

Please join me in sharing the true gift of Christmas - Love - with those precious children and women who have dealt with the brutality and heart-break of abuse. Let's make their Christmas a little brighter by letting them know that someone loves them!


I will be collecting items to make 30 Christmas Stockings (10 children, 10 Teens, 10 Women)


I will have a donation box in the Relief Society room every Sunday until December 6th.

Missionary Packages

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the Missionary Care Packages!!! We were able to jam-pack the boxes with all sorts of goodies! I know it will make Elder Swallow and Elder Dinehart happy to get all the treats and to know that we are thinking of them.

Also, thank you to all of the wonderful primary children who wrote a little note to the missionaries. Those cards and pictures will brighten their day!

Thanks again to anyone who helped in any way.
I couldn't do this without you!
