Enrichment



We had an Enrichment Activity last week that I really wanted to share, it was such a great one and all based on service. Sisters in the ward signed up to contribute services that they had to offer like babysitting, baking, photography, dinners, etc. Then at the activity the sisters that were there had a form to fill out that gave them points like, have you cooked or babysat for anyone in the ward, have you picked anyone up from the airport, have you helped the missionaries, etc. The more service you did, the more points that you earned. Then we had an auction using the points that we had. We had paddles for the sisters and everything, there was nothing that the committee forgot, everything looked amazing. It was so fun to see all the talents that we have in our ward and to see more friendships build within the Relief Society. I just thought that it was a great idea and I think that all of you should steal it for your ward.

Our ward did that a couple months ago too. Looks like everybody's been stealing it from everyone else!
Hope you guys are doing well.

We too did this and I agree that it was one of the best things and the most fun! We had women jumping up on chairs to win things (ok that was me) and stealing other people's paddles, so they couldn't beat them out (Ok that was me too) but everyone was smileing and there was so much good stuff to bid on!

Our ward just did that, too, but they didn't really explain what it was so it didn't work very well. But yours seems awesome. And the cultural hall looks better than a lot of receptions I've seen!!!

WOW! Hearing awesome activities like this and seeing the amazing spread almost makes me want to become active again. :)
It's always great stopping by your cyber life and catching a peek into what is going on.
Take care!
