Elders and Family,
Reminders!! Thursday night at 7:00 PM the EQ is doing Sealings at the Draper Temple. Please make sure to come. I would suggest arriving by 6:30 PM to be dressed and ready to start promptly at 7. Thanks!
Also please don’t forget that the Young Women’s are having their Spaghetti Dinner on this Saturday at the ward house. It is a fund raiser and they’d love for your family to come help support their fun activities for 2010. All donations are voluntary and welcomed!
The Day of Service is on May 15th. For this activity we, as a ward, have been asked to donate 500 towels. If you would like to make a donation please do so on the “Other” portion of the donation slips and just write “towels”. The towels, if bought in bulk, can be purchased for around .60 cents a piece. We still stand in need of about 300 towels. Any donation of any amount would be accepted and very much appreciated.

Reminders, Upcoming Events and Service Projects
-May 1st (Saturday) The Young Women’s Spaghetti Fund Raising Dinner- For a fund raiser this year the YW are a spaghetti dinner. The dinner will be one where you and your family can come and purchase tickets for your meals. This will be a great way to enjoy a good meal on a Friday night and help support our great Young Women in our ward!
- Stake Book of Mormon Challenge: In our Stake Priesthood Meeting we, as a priesthood body, were challenged to read The Book of Mormon by July 13th alongside the young men in the stake as they prepare for Camp Helaman. Please take note of this challenge! Also I understand that if we do it the Stake YW’s has said that we, even the men, can earn our ‘Virture’ in Personal Progress. (Oh my!)
-May 14th is a Day of Celebration- Decoration Activity for Primary children to get their bikes and or wagons all ready for the Parade the next day!
-May 15th is a Day of Celebration sponsored by our Stake. We will be commemorating and celebrating the railroad that went through our area with the granite rocks that built the Salt Lake Temple. It will be filled with activities, breakfast, a parade for the young kids (to dress up like pioneers and or railway men), and also we will be building humanitarian kits for those that stand in need. Our ward has a specific assignment to collect hand towels. We need 500 of them donated for the whole ward. Please if you wouldn’t mind that would be amazing!
-June4-5th—Ward Campout! The ward campout will be at Jordan Pines just up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It is REALLY close so for those of you that only want to come up for the dinner that night its perfect—and for those of us willing to brave the great outdoors you can camp! Come one, come all!
-June 5th & 6th—Missionary Fireside
-EQ Temple Nights We will continue to have them once monthly. Please note these dates. We will do as many ordinances as we can with the idea in mind to do family names and disperse the quorum doing ordnances throughout the temple—including baptisms, initiatory, endowments, and sealings. Please plan to attend with you and your children that can go. If you can let me know in advance if you and your family are going I will have reservations made for all of you and even have plenty of family file names that you can do while there. Please arrive by 6:30 PM at the Draper Temple as the sessions would start at 7:00 PM. Here are the dates:
-April 29th 7:00 PM
-May 19th Ward Temple Night, 8:20 PM Endowment Session, must arrive by 7:45 PM.
-May 20th 7:00 PM CANCELED! (So we can go the night before to the Ward Temple Night
2010 EQ Family Focus: This year the Elders Quorum Presidency will be emphasizing Family Home Evening, Fathers Interviews, and Family Councils. We will be having some activities and visits that center around these with you and your family. I’d like to know if you and your family have the Church’s Family Home Evening Manual? Please let me know. I may just grab some for our quorum to give out. Here is a good site for you to review for FHE suggestions:
