MARRIAGE & INTIMACY

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

6:30 p.m.

Orchard Street Building

Brother and Sister Campbell

President Spencer W. Kimball noted that in our church, “if you study the divorces, as we have had to do in these past years, you will find there are one, two, three, four reasons. Generally sex is the first. They did not get along sexually. They may not say that in court. They may not even tell that to their attorneys, but that is the reason.” (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1982, p. 312.) As most of us are basically newlyweds, we could all learn a little more about something so important in our relationships, to help us strengthen them.

Come listen and learn (for those of you who don't know Brother Campbell is the WSU institute director and they are amazing), and enjoy refreshments - veggie tray for those of you with new year resolutions- and also treats to tempt you to break them!

Thanks again for everyone that came to Super Saturday.

We had a wonderful time and the crafts turned out awesome - you guys are so creative. Feel free to post pictures on the PU2 Google Group!

We won't be having an activity in December with all the craziness of that time of year, but January's activity is going to be one you WILL NOT want to miss, especially if you're newly married, or you love your spouse:)! More details will be coming.

We DO have tons of fun activities in December however, so come join us at Zumba on Tuesdays at 7:30 (Orchard St. Bldg.), Recipe Group Wed. Nov. 17 @ 6:30 at the Orchard Street Church Building, walking group, playgroup on Friday, and Thursdays at project group (this Thursday, 11/18, at Erin Baum's house B302). (phew!) See you there

SUPER SATURDAY CRAFT INFO

November 6, 2010

9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ~ Orchard Street Building

All sign ups and payments were due October 17 (Sun.)

Lunch will also be served - soup and breadsticks, mmmm

Here's some info on the crafts:

Chunky Beaded Watches:
Price: ~$9.50 (I will keep you posted, it depends on how many people sign up!)


(ignore the $12 price on the watch face)



(samples)
The watch faces are $5.25 (some of you already have watch faces. If you don't want one, subtract this from the total price, and LET US KNOW). You have a choice between square or 'whimsical.' Choose between a black or brown watch. Several people have asked about different colors. We gave two choices to make ordering simpler. If you would like to make one that is a different colors, I have several other colors of beads (including red, blue, pink, tan, clear) and you are welcome to exchange them bead for bead, 'subject to availability.'

Randomly: I have one watch face that is free because my husband used it in his clinics at school. arg. Slightly scratched on the front. First person to comment gets it!!


Wood Frames:
Cost: $1.00 plus paper



BRING YOUR OWN PAPER. Paper pals in Pullman is kind of by Dairy Queen on Grand-they have CUTE paper. Or Michael's has a big selection, .60 each. We will stain all the frames a dark wood stain.


Christmas Countdown Blocks:
Cost: $5.00



Block size is 4x4


Magnet Boards:
Cost: $5.00 plus paper



BRING YOUR OWN PAPER-12x12 size. The boards will be painted black. The board is 1/2" thick (unlike the sample at church, which is 1/4"-the nails stick through and so it won't be that thin). This is another example for ideas for paper. Choices for the tie are tulle or black ribbon.
Our magnet board won't have a metal hanger on top like the pictured one does. It will come with 2 magnets.

FRAMED JEWELRY HOLDER

PRICE: ~$3.00 plus bring your own fabric

This can be for necklaces, earrings, etc. You can choose the size of the frame you would like. If you would like a specific color of frame, let us know, we can probably work it out! Look online for chicken wire jewelry frames for ideas.

Any questions, please call Carrie or Valerie.
