Ward Picnic and Gelder Park Directions

Hi Friends! The ward picnic is at 5:30pm this coming Saturday, August 28th at Gelder Park. For directions to the park, click here.

We'll have lots of yummy sub-sandwiches, plenty of popscicles, and tons of fun for the primary kids and everyone else. Bring your picnic supplies and your lawn chairs. And don't forget to bring something to share (salad, dessert, chips, snacks, etc.)!

See you there!

Free Cultural Event

This Saturday evening at 6pm at the church, Joseph Hopkins will present a fireside about Eric Whitacre's special choir composition "When David Heard that Absalom was Slain." This amazing piece was inspired by just one verse in the Old Testament:

King James Bible; II Samuel, 18:33:

When David heard that Absalom was slain he went up into his chamber over the gate and wept, my son, my son, O Absalom my son, would God I had died for thee!

It is beautiful and a favorite of the BYU singers.

Bring your families and get some culture in your life!

Who's Your Granddaddy?

Come to the Family Fun Fair! "Who's Your Granddaddy?"

Saturday March 13th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Church

There are still spots available for you to share something about your family: make the space look like your family traditions, highlight a special ancestor or country of origin, share what makes your family special! (please leave valuable heirlooms at home, though :)

Bring a treat special to your family (is it the cookies that your grandma made? is it a dip you never have a party without? is it the popcorn you make for family home evening?).

Come create your family coat of arms with your kids.

Come learn how to start (or restart) your family history.


Email Nancy Jones with any questions or to sign up for display space. We'll be setting up Friday evening from 6:30–8:00p.m. or before the activity until 8:45 a.m.

Hershey Ward Picnic

Hello! I hope you've all heard about the picnic by now, but if not, here's your chance to get the 411. I've created an evite and sent it to several ladies already, but I don't have everyone's addresses, so be patient as I collect them.

If you just can't wait to volunteer your fabulous salad, side dish, or dessert, there are lots of options:

1. sign up in one of the Relief Society binders
2. view the evite here
3. leave a comment on this post
4. email me at nancyjones@psu.edu

I found a map to the park here, and as much as I wish it were from google, it's not. (Thank Brother Hintze for the bing.com tip.)
