Mark Your Calenders

We want to pass along a few announcements, and reminders for the next few weeks.

Temple Night will be Friday December 18th.  Please meet at the church at 5:30 to carpool and make sure we have plenty of time to get into our sessions on that very busy night.

Our Ward Christmas Party will be Saturday December 19th at 6:30.  Please plan on bringing your favorite Christmas Treat to share with everyone, and dress for being outside.  We'll start the night off with Christmas Caroling and return to the church house for a program and refreshments.

It it our month to clean the church.  Families with last names starting M-Z are responsible for the 12th and 26th.  A-L have done the 5th, and need to mark their calenders for the 19th. 

Thanks to all who have donated to our Christmans Goodies Baskets.  We have updated our needs list from a couple of items and will continue to update items as we have enough of them.  Keep checking for the most current information.

RS Newsletters and Visiting Teaching.  We passed our December newsletter/Visiting Teaching Message around last Sunday, and encourage you to make an in home visit this month.  In celebration of our Savior birth it is especially important to let your sister know that they are loved.  If you need an additional copy of this months message click on the Visiting Teaching Link to LDS.org on the left of this blog.  We appreciate your good Visiting Teaching efforts.
We hope you are having a wonderful Christmas Season. 

Don't Catch that Bug

With the Cold and Flu Season upon us we want to put out some quick reminders about how to protect yourself, your family and other from sharing more than a dose of holiday cheer. 
  1.  Remember to have your family wash their hands frequently.  Virus and bacteria is transmitted person to person through secretions, so wash off what you may have picked up with soap and hot water.  It is also suggested that you carry a travel size of hand-sanitizer for those time when you can't wash up.
  2.  Remember to care for your immune system, by eating healthy foods, drinking plenty of water, and getting a good night sleep. 
  3.  If you or a family member get sick make sure you stay home and get better!  You're body needs the rest and recouperation, and others don't need the opportunity to share in the muck.  The CDC recommends that those with cough, fever, runny noses, stomache sickness or any other infectious symptoms need to stay away from others during and for 24 hrs after symptom have stopped. http://www.cdc.gov/.  We understand that church is a wonderful way to stay uplifted when you feeling in the dumps, but please follow these guideline for church meetings.
 We wish you a very healthy and Merry Christmas Season.
