A Silent Christmas

Relief Society Christmas Evening: Thursday, December 19 @ 7 p.m.

We will meet in the chapel for a short program titled "A Silent Christmas". As you arrive you will have the opportunity to fill out a service you would like to "gift" to another Lady in our Relief Society. All the "gifts" will go on the Christmas tree and you will have a chance to choose a "gift" you might like later in the evening. This will give us a chance to serve one another and maybe get to know someone we don't know as well, I hope we can all find some small way to serve with the Christmas Spirit. If you would rather not participate in the service gift exchange no worries...just come and enjoy the evening. We will have desserts and hot drinks afterward, so plan to stay and socialize!

You are invited to participate in a Silent Service Gift Exchange!

1.  Think of a service, any service, whether it is baking items, cooking a meal, sewing, knitting a scarf, cleaning, ironing, babysitting, tutoring, sewing badges on a scout uniform, family photo session, organizing a kitchen…..

2. Write your service in a Christmas Card, along with your name and your phone number (we will provide cards that night as you arrive at our activity or fill one out as we pass them around on Sunday).

3. Come to our Christmas Relief Society party! We will hang the cards on our Christmas tree and everyone participating will get to choose a service gift card before they leave.
