Progressive dinner

Hi! We had a progressive dinner earlier this year and it turned out really good. We used the new mutual theme for the spiritual side of the evening. We started with opening exercises at the church then...

1st house=appetizer (my mom did this one for us and had little weenies and cheese cubes and vegetables w/dip) SEARCH DILLIGENTLY  we had a little game prepared that took a very short amount of time: our secretary brought several little toys from her house and everyone picked one, then while they had the appetizer we hid them and they had to search to find it, then she spoke briefly about searching the scriptures for answers.

2nd house=salad (our stake YW pres did this...just a green salad) PRAY ALWAYS our 2nd counselor read a touching story from one of John Bytheway's books while they ate the salad

3rd house=(our Stake president's wife made the best chili...it was February and cold and rainy) BE BELIEVING while they ate I just read a quick quote from president Hinckley in the JAN New Era (where it breaks down the new theme) we were running out of time so it had to be short.

Then back to the church for dessert. I had planned to have a discussion about ALL THIS WILL BE FOR YOUR GOOD but like I said we were out of time so I thanked them for the respect they showed at the homes we visited and gave them a bookmark I made...I think I got it from the files section…I don't remember.

Just a bit of advise**keep the houses close together. It was tough for us because our ward is quite spread out. also stress to them to be respectful to the homes to go to and to say thank you. other than that....it's a really fun activity.
