Announcements from and for Everyone
- FH blog post: RS Council FH Goals: Children to Feel the Spirit of Elijah and Ordinance Work for Ancestors The roster for the September FH workshop is open still. If you and your family would like to participate, contact Camille Baker, Janae & Jeff Campbell, or Cami & Josh Mower.
- There will be a two-part positive parenting class in the Relief Society room at the church on Thursday, August 23rd and Thursday, August 30th from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. It will be taught by Denise Barney, who has been teaching positive skills to parents for seventeen years. Wives and husbands are both invited, along with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and anyone interested! A nursery will be provided.
- From the stake JustServe committee: Brother and Sister Paul and Debby Wood, Pioneer Coordinating Council Specialists, have obtained agreement to post for volunteers for the annual Greek Festival held September 7-9 in downtown Salt Lake City. As you may know, this is a large event hosted by the Greek Orthodox Church; it is the first time they have allowed us to post it on JustServe. They are in need of 300 volunteers (check the JustServe website for details, https://www.justserve.org/projects/0dd6c6ff-4df1-46bd-9721-d6f7fc0b6830). This is an ideal partnership between JustServe and the Greek Orthodox Church. While we don't assign volunteers, we feel it will open a number of doors to each of us if there is a good showing from JustServe and appreciate your consideration of how you might help.
- The 10th Ward RS Activities committee would like to invite all the sisters in the stake to their activity the evening of Tuesday, September 11th. Verne Larsen from the State of Utah will be speaking about bullying with a gospel perspective in his address entitled "Conquering our Goliath's". Time and place TBA.
