Hi,
I had an idea to submit, Hope this is
helpful. By Carrie, Murray UT
THANKS!!! What a great idea!
Ward Activity for Christmas: The Streets
of Nauvoo
Not a traditional Ward Activity, my
mother-in-laws ward did this and it was soooo cool!
You make food assignments to every
auxiliary. Except YW/YM. The food that was served was really
simple. The main dish was soup. (2 or 3 different kinds) Homemade
breads (any kind that would compliment soup.) w/ homemade jams,
honey, butter, etc. Fudge or cookies and homemade pies for
dessert. And fresh lemonade or water. Then you set up "booths"
(each auxiliary to decorate and run at activity). Can be an
in-expensive thing.
The YW/YM are to be assigned making
Pioneer toys for the children to hand out at the party. The ward
that did this had the "wooden teddy bear shimmying up a rope" toy.
Depending on size of ward, can vary on how
many booths you do. They also set up a talent booth. It gave
achievement day girls the opportunity to display the things they
have been working on. Many women displayed their embroidery,
quilts, etc. Very neat.
They also had someone taking family
portraits that they developed in "sepia" to make them look
antiqued. Another thing they did, not necessary, but neat... they
had someone who works with welding/metal to fashion an iron rod
ornament with a tag that reminds us all to "Hold to the Rod". The
ward choir or a volunteer choir could also sing to invite the
spirit.
