"Breathtaking"
perhaps best describes the beautiful decorations at the B7 Ward Relief Society
party on Thursday evening! Thanks to all who worked so hard to create this
amazing and fun Christmas celebration - Debb Johnson, Bonnie Sorenson, Lain
Carter, Roena Soleai, Linda Lowe (made tons of delicious homemade rolls),
adorable Primary children, Katie Christensen, Taj Becker, (beautiful cello
music) Brittney Munk, Karin Smith, Kim Jorgensen, Robin Walden, Andrea Luikart
and all who made delicious food!
One
Unique fluffy snowflakes fall from above
Each carries a message of hope and of love.
Apart, they are cold and shrivel so tight
Void of the friendships they seek on their flight
Together, they knit such a beautiful sight,
Covering the earth with a blanket of white.
We, like the snowflakes, are miracles unique
With special gifts many others will seek
Alone, we may wander and soon become weak,
Forgetting the promises we desired so to keep.
All of God's daughters-a mighty force from above
Knit together, we blanket the earth with God's love.

Society Christmas party)
As we
entered the cultural hall, sisters were treated to cello music played by Katie
Fielding and Taj Becker.
Sisters brought
delicious soups, salads and cookies and Linda Lowe provided a heavenly aroma of her fresh-baked, delicious dinner rolls
as we entered. We played a "getting to know you better"
activity, had dinner and then enjoyed our team building game of decorating a
sister at each table as a snowman! Each table was provided with a bag of the
same items to create a snowman in six minutes. (One table chose to have a
melting snowman!)
Oh, and
the hot chocolate bar! It was truly gourmet, with selections of milk or
dark chocolate, assorted sprinkles and flavorings and whipped cream. The
presentation was a delight in and of itself.
The
evening was capped of with a beautiful number sung by some of our precious
Primary children and we later joined with them in song.
Our
Relief Society is filled with such talented, giving and loving women!
