Send a Free Christmas Card to a Soldier

XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL

If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a second.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them.

This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time and please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say enough thank you's.

Thanks for taking to time to support our military!

New Book Group

Sisters,

Joy Jackson and Lacey Schofield would like to start a book group in our Ward. We will have our first one on Thursday January 6th at Jessica Brumfield's home. We will meet at 8:30 and we will be discussing "The Cross Gardener" by Jason F. Wright. Jessica will be hosting this one as well as leading the discussion. If you are interested in attending book groups please come, if you can't make this one, please email me at lacey_schofield@yahoo.com, so that I can put you on the email list. This is not a relief society activity, but it is a good way to get to know the other sisters in our ward. Also please feel free to invite others to join us.

Our first meeting we will choose books, hosts, and discussion leaders for the next few meetings. We will also discuss the day we will be meeting. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me or Joy Jackson. I hope to see you all there.

Please feel free to bring a treat and to come even if you haven't read the book. Again, please contact me if you would like to continue to be on the distribution list at lacey_schofield@yahoo.com.

PTO Needs Volunteers

Hello Sisters,

I received this email that I want to share with you:

I'm trying to find out if you know of any folks from your church who would be willing to volunteer their time to help us during our monthly PTO meetings at Centerton Gamble. We've found that we have increased attendance when we offer children's activities so members don't have to worry about child care.

The Centerton PTO needs volunteers. They are getting some volunteers from the 1st Baptist Church as well to help out. Here are the particulars:

-We will start helping at the Januaray 2011 mtg. Then, they hope, every other mtg after that. (total of 3)
-2 volunteers each time (makes it easier for you!)
-You do not have to provide an activity, but if you have ideas, that would be a big help.
-They are NOT allowed to use the school equipment (ie: balls, toys, etc.)

Please contact Leslee Lai 426-4197 or by email at laijiating@hotmail.com for any questions and to VOLUNTEER!

I (and the PTO) thank you for your help.

Need Childcare

Liz Ledbetter(lizbeth393@yahoo.com)

My sister needs a new sitter for her daughter in the bentonville, rogers, centerton area. I was wondering if you might know anyone that is doing any at home childcare or might be interested in doing some?(a member of the church would be great) She usually needs someone 30-35 hrs per wk and it can be anywhere between 4am and 10pm depending on her schedule so it would need to be someone that is willing to be flexible. .... Thanks Liz

Need to borrow a pack n' play

Primary Activity

Things to do in Oklahoma City

Below is a list of activities all within 30 minutes of the temple. Our thought was that it would help the parents entertain kiddos while they are swapping sessions or just help make the trip to OKC one that everyone will look forward to.

1) Each location is grouped together with the other things in the same area of OKC (Downtown, East OKC, etc.)

2) a {*} means that the cost for this place is free

3) there should be links to all the places' websites.

4) if you want more ideas, check out the OKC Visitor's website.

5) another idea is to check out the local college websites (OSU has an agricultural branch right near the temple) and see if there are any lectures, recitals, exhibits, etc. going on.

DOWNTOWN

Myriad Gardens

*

link here

Beautiful botanical gardens downtown. You have to pay if you want to go into the crystal bridge area (we have never actually been in that part, but it looks fun). There are ducks swimming on the pond, and it's a nice place to be and walk around for a while. We easily spend an hour or so here with the kids

Distance: 15-20 mins from temple. Downtown OKC

OKC Memorial and Museum

* (memorial is free, museum you have to pay)

link here

This is a neat place to see. I have not personally been through the museum, but the memorial is nice.

Distance: 15-20 mins from temple. Downtown OKC

OKC Museum of Art

link here

This has a big exhibit of Chihuly (I know I spelled that wrong...) It is awesome to see! If you go on the first weekend of the month, and you have a debit card from bank of America, then you get in free!

Distance: 15-20 mins from temple Downtown OKC

Bricktown Water Taxi

link here

This is a fun thing to do. You get a neat little tour that lasts about 45 mins, and you can get on and off the water taxi as many times as you like during the day, too. Our kids really liked it.

Distance: 15-20 mins from temple Downtown OKC

Academy of Contemporary Music at UCO

* (I think it's free...you better check)

link here

This just looked cool. I have never been, but they give tours.

Distance: 15-20 mins from temple. Downtown OKC

Bass Pro Shops

*

link here

This is right along the Bricktown Water Taxi route, so you could do both of these things. There are also lots of other things within walking distance of here - just look up 'Bricktown'.

Distance: 15-20 mins from temple. Downtown OKC

MID/NORTH OKC/EDMOND

Metro Library

*

link here

There are many library locations, and they always have fun classes and group things for kids. You can look at exactly what's going on on their calendar.

Distance: varies

Lake Hefner Parks

*

link here

This is a great place with biking/walking trails around the lake, and parks, and restaurants, and a golf course on one side. So if your kids just want to get out and run around, then they might like it here.

Distance: 10 mins from temple

Martin Park Nature Center

* (I think it's free)

link here

I have never been here, but it seems kinda cool! Check out their website, cuz it looks like they do classes or something like that.

Distance: 15 mins from temple. North OKC

Kite Park

*

link here

This is just a fun park in a great area - the picture on the website doesn't do justice. It has great slides and swings and toys for the kids to climb on, and picnic tables and lots of shade and lots of wide open grass and the best part (or worse) is that the play area is all on top of sand - not wood chips! So you can bring your sand pails.

Distance: about 10-15 mins from temple. North of downtown

EAST OKC

Science Museum

link here

We love this place. You could spend all day here and still not get through it all. I'm sure you can find coupons or discounts online. This would be a great place for kids of any age - and it's fun for the parents, too! They have a cafe in the museum, or a couple fast food places nearby. Right next door is the OKC zoo, and just across the street is the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum.

Distance: 25 mins east of temple. (You could even be dropped off here on the way down, and then the person at the temple could come pick you up).

National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum

link here

Never been here yet, but we hear great things about it all the time.

Distance: 25 mins east of temple.

SOUTH/NORMAN

Sam Noble Museum

link here

This is down in Norman, so it might be more of a drive than you want to take, but they have dinosaur stuff and indian stuff. Of course they have more, but that's kind of all I remember. :)

Distance: about 30-40 mins from temple in Norman

WEST OKC/PIEDMONT

Chester's Party Barn

link here

This is a fun 'farm'-like place. (Don't let the clown on the homepage scare you...ah! We actually didn't see Chester the Clown at all when we went). There is a little petting zoo, and the kids can ride little ponies, there's a bunch of games and then you take a tractor ride over to a corn maze and a big slide or something. They have yummy brisket sandwiches there, too, as well as other food if you want.

Distance: about 20 mins west of the temple in Piedmont

Kyle Sloan is the son of Natalie who has worked with me for several years. Last year when Kyle was only 14 years old, he found out he had cancer.

40 Day Spiritual Renewal

The Centerton 1st Ward 40 Day Spiritual Renewal Plan will begin on Wednesday, September 29th, and conclude on Fast Sunday, November 7th.

Isaiah 2:3 "Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord to the house of the God of Jacob and he will teach us of his ways and we will walk in his paths....

The Bishop has asked us to hold a special family council (perhaps for Family Home Evening) to develop your family and individual goals as follows:

As a family - choose one goal to spiritually strengthen your family as a whole.

As an individual - choose one goal to spiritually fortify yourself as an individual.

Prayerfully work on these goals for the next 40 days.

Whom will you be when you come down from the mount?

What are you doing to prepare your place of security?

Fast Sunday on November 7th will give us a chance to share our experiences in bringing our families and ourselves closer to the Lord.

Temporary Job Opportunity

I spoke with David Quye tonight about some temporary help for his mother. His mother is 78 years old and has Alzheimer's. His father is her primary caregiver and he is 80 years old. David is looking for someone to help with the care of his mother so his father can have a break. They are looking for someone that can help with her bathing, clothing, feeding, and changing(adult diaper). She is a small woman and is only weighing about 100 lbs now but does not require lifting. They have help on Friday and Saturday. They are looking for someone that can work about 6 to 8 hours a day for one or two days a week between Monday and Thursday. They are paying $15.00 an hour for her care. They live in East Rogers off of Hwy 12.

I told him I would pass this info on to you to see if we have any sisters that might be able to help this family. Again, his name is David Quye and his phone number is 246-8252.

Thank you,

Neva
