Quilts for Haiti

Quilts for Haiti will be worked on again tomorrow, Tuesday, March 30 from 8am-11:30am and 6-9:30p that night. No meals will be provided this time, so eat before you come. A lot of these quilts we are making will be used as house walls for many of the survivors in Haiti. Thanks for your service.

Go to the House of the Lord

“Attend the temple. You will be blessed for so doing. Every man or woman who goes into the house of the Lord leaves there a better man or woman than he or she was when he or she entered the house of the Lord. The house of the Lord will have a refining effect upon you. It will cultivate unselfishness within your lives. It will build righteousness. It will impress upon you the importance of doing what you ought to do. Go to the house of the Lord” President Gordon B. Hinckley

Quilts for Haiti

The Stake RS is providing a wonderful service opportunity. They will be making 50 quilts to send to Haiti. They need our help!! The immediate need is for king, queen, or twin flat sheets or fitted sheets with the elastic cut off and corner seams taken out. The sheets don't have to be new, they just need to to be in good condition with no stains, please. Sister Chris Grayson is heading up the project and would like the sheets this weekend, if possible. The sheets will be used for the backs of the quilts and she would like to match the backs to the fabric she will be purchasing for the fronts. We have ward conference this Sunday and it will be the perfect opportunity to hand the sheets off to the stake RS presidency then. If you'd like to bring the sheets to the clothing swap, we can set them aside for Sunday.

Also, there will be two opportunities to help put the quilts together - Thursday, March 11th and Thursday, March 18th at 9am at the Stake Center. If you quilt, bring your machine. If you don't quilt, bring your iron, ironing board, extension cords, scissors, etc.
There will be plenty to do for everyone!

Thank you so much for your help! I'm excited for this opportunity for us to serve and help others.

General Relief Society President

This past week while in Utah I was able to talk with Sister Julie B. Beck the General Relief Society President who happens to be a wonderful friend from my home town. While talking and catching up with her I mentioned that I was recently called to be RS Secretary in our ward here in Franklin, TN. Sister Beck was eager to tell me of her love for the wonderful Sisters in the Church, and asked me to express her love to each sister in our ward and her gratefulness for all that you do to serve the Lord.
