Quilt Tying for Humanitarian Service
As the Humanitarian Specialist newly called in a new ward with all new leadership, I am determined to have the sisters learn to love the principle of Humanitarian Service.

Service (White Elephant) Game – a variation of the Service Auction

Midweek Enrichment Activity Ideas
We were doing several midweek activities in my prior ward. We had a playgroup, a lunch bunch, a book club, a craft club,and sports night.
