Ward Temple Trip

Aug. 27-28 was a ward temple trip to the Halifax Temple.

I had the opportunity to take my whole family to Halifax. After the morning session Saturday, I picked up my kids and brought them to the temple grounds. We took pictures and talked of temples, the ordinances performed, and the sacredness of the temple. Both wanted to be able to go in, and after our discussion, my oldest decided she would like to attend the temple for her twelfth birthday. This was a beautiful teaching opportunity.

I talked to my mom about our trip and the time it took for us to travel there and back. She mentioned that she has been thinking about what sacrifice we are asked for our temple attendance. We are not asked to break our china, donate materials, feed the workers, or help with the construction. She feels that our sacrifice is our time. In the world we live in, time is a rare commodity. Time is as precious to us as china.

It is not easy to sacrifice. It takes time and money to travel that far, stay in a hotel, find babysitters, get across the border, etc. We can find all kinds of reasons to keep us away. It takes some forethought and planning, but every obstacle can be overcome with the Lord’s help. Make a goal now to attend the temple, at least once a year. Do everything you can to achieve that goal, and leave the rest to faith.

June 17th

Mark your calendars now for our June activity. It will begin at 6:30pm at the church on a Thursday evening. As always, childcare will be provided.

More details will follow as we get closer, but start now to think of an act of service you would be willing to give away.

Angels in Aprons

The Stake Relief Society is providing our relief society activity for the month of May. Beginning at 10/11:00am on May 15th, lunch will be served at the stake center in Fredericton, followed by the program.

What a great time to make time for yourself and be spiritually uplifted and mingle with sisters from all over the stake. If you need transportation, please contact a member of our ward RS presidency.

We hope to see you there.

Happy Birthday Relief Society

easy vegi pizza

I was asked to post my super easy vegi pizza. This is great for a quick meal that is yummy

2 pkg crescent rolls (pillsbury or equivelent) (if you want to make a smaller pizza, use one package)
1- 4 oz cream cheese or whipped cream cheese. You can use a flavored cream cheese like chive and onion or mix seasonings into your plain cream cheese
chopped vegis of your choice

Take a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet and spray with non stick spray
Roll out crescent roll dough onto pan so it forms a big rectangle covering the bottom of the pan, this will be your crust
Bake, according to directions for crescent rolls ( think it is 375 for about 8 min or until golden brown)
Let crust cool.
In bowl, you can whip your cream cheese and add seasonings. I add dill and garlic salt. You can also buy the whipped cream cheese that is flavored and use that.
spread cream cheese over crust and top with chopped vegi's of your choice
I use fresh broccoli, peppers, olives, cucumbers, artichoke hearts, etc. you can add a bit of shredded cheese if you like.
cut into squares and serve. YUMMY!
