"Deliciously Decadent Desserts"

We had such a wonderful response to this last year we are doing it again!!!

Presidents, we would like to ask you for your help again with this. Would you please ask 1 or 2 sisters in your ward who love to cook and try new things to bring a dessert, enough to serve 24 would be great. We are looking forward to the wonderful messages that will be given at the broadcast and having time to mingle with each of you as we eat the yummy desserts!

Nov. 3^rd: Graham Stake R.S. Temple Day

We will be meeting at the temple in the assembly room at 10:30 a.m. and then attending the 11 o’clock session. Anyone who would like can do baptisms at 10:00 a.m. in the baptistry. Please encourage your new members and sisters who are not endowed to attend.

After this we will go to the chapel behind the temple (please note this is not the one we were at last year), for lunch and a short program.

Please announce this often to encourage sisters to plan ahead for temple recommend renewals or new temple recommends. It is always so wonderful to be in the temple with each other.
