NOTE FROM THE PRIMARY PRESIDENT

Hello Primary parents and Primary teachers!


Please make note of these dates on your calendars:

Tuesday, September 14, 7 pm at the Stake Center (chapel); Primary Presentation Dress Rehearsal

Sunday, September 19, during Sacrament meeting, Primary Presentation (BTW, this would be a great presentation to invite friends and neighbors to)

Parents, for the Dress Rehearsal you may drop your children off and leave them in our care for about an hour or so. However, please remind them we will be meeting in the chapel and they will be expected to behave accordingly. We will be serving ice cream sundaes after the rehearsal, just in time for them to go home and get in bed. ;-)

Primary teachers, see the note to parents above. We'll need you there!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

WV SENATE RACE

I've been trying to gather information about the candidates and thought I'd share what I've found. The statement below is from one of the candidates and explains why this Senate race is so important.


"The [candiate] who wins the U.S Senate general election on November 2, 2010 is going to be in a unique position. The other Congressional winners will take office in January 2011. However, because of Senator Robert C. Byrd's death, the newly elected U.S. Senator will be sworn in the next day, November 3, 2010. This means that they will begin serving on the first day of the "lame duck" session."

Here are some useful links with general info about all candidates:

TO PASTEURIZE RAW EGGS

To Pasteurize Raw Eggs


To avoid the risk of illness, use fresh, whole, grade A or AA eggs. If the egg smells strange or if it's discolored, then throw it away.

Place the eggs in a pot with cold water. Put the water on medium heat, watch as the temperature rises. You don’t want the temperature of the water to be higher than 150 degrees. If you want to be exact, you can keep a thermometer probe in the water, if not 140-150 degrees is the stage before bubbles start to form. When you reach this temperature, try to keep it. So lower the heat, watch so the temperature doesn’t rise, then keep the eggs in the water for about 3-5 minutes.

The only part of the egg that needs to reach 140 to 150 degrees for 3-5 minute is the outside shell because that is the only source of possible salmonella.

NOTE FROM RELIEF SOCIETY PRESIDENT

Sisters,


I was contacted on Sunday and asked if there are any sisters that would need to make some extra money this week for school. A member of our ward is in need of some help this week if interested contact me by noon tomorrow.

Just a reminder that tomorrow at 10:00AM or this Thur. there will be a class at the church the class is one that will help us make meal time better, and making a stronger connection with your family.It will help us all as we head back to school.

One more thing this Sat. will be the RS turn to clean the Chapel. We need 10 families to come. All are welcome to come and participate. When we bring our children to help clean they will show more respect when at church.

I hope to see you at church this week.

"A HEAVENLY BANNER"

Sisters ,

I hope you will enjoy these Family Home Evening lessons. When we celebrated the Bicentennial of the Constitution in 1987, the Church prepared lessons for members to teach our families how important The Constitution is to us.

The Prophet Joseph Smith referred to this document as "a glorious standard" and " a heavenly banner"

The men who came together at that time in our history were foreordained to come forth at that time to establish the nation in which the Gospel and the Church could be restored.

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend.

Sister Wrye

BARBRA BARRINGTON JONES SPEAKS TO THE YOUTH

This is something that was shared with us...

Satan has ONE of the greatest lies.
O is for ONLY ONCE WON'T HURT YOU
N is for NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW
E is for EVERYBODY IS DOING IT

When Satan tells us ONLY ONCE WON'T HURT YOU,
The Holy Ghost tells us ONCE WILL HURT YOU.

When Satan tells you NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW,
The Holy Ghost tells you BUT YOU KNOW.

When Satan tells you EVERYBODY IS DOING IT,
The Holy Ghost tells you BUT YOU AREN'T.

She also shared a study that says that youth spend 7 1/2 hours a day texting, video games, and internet use. Which is Satans tool to jam the channels.
