So Much Free Time!

 Ok, not really....

but Sunday I was released as RS President.

And it FEELS like I have so much

extra time each day!

However, at the same time as they released

me, I volunteered to start the Ward Bulletin

back up again. We stopped doing it during

Covid and then when we created our new

ward, we just never started it up.

We are finding a large majority of the people

are NOT reading their email, accessing either

FaceBook OR the church calendar on the website,

so there are lots of things happening in the ward

that they aren't hearing about.

(Since we have been directed to limit the

announcements during Sacrament Meeting.)

So.....

I have been researching online for the various

options for ward bulletin layouts.

We want to do the full page folded in half version.

The front cover, this week, is going to be a line

drawing of our temple in Orlando.

Then when you open it, on the left side will be

the outline for the meeting.

On the right side will be announcements,

as well as important phone numbers,

(missionaries, RS & EQ Pres and Ward Exec Secty...)

Then on the back page I am going to title

it Bishop Doodles and I'm going to put some

sort of activity. Either another picture to color,

or a dot-to-dot, or word search, something like that.

The Bishop asked if he could color up on the stand?

Which is why we are calling it Bishop Doodles.

This week is Fast & Testimony meeting,

so it will be easy. They gave me access to the

web page where they have the music and talks

for the next quarter already assigned.

The plan is that I will get it up and running,

so there is sort of a plug and play template

and then when we move it will be easy for

somebody to take over.

Also, I volunteered to play the piano for RS.

However, I'm not going to be there on the

weekends that I teach down in West Palm.

But that's ok, we have another sister who can

take a turn. She sometimes plays the organ

in Sac Mtg - she will just have to hot foot it

from the chapel to the RS room.

Anyhow.

 
It has been a little chilly here so I have been enjoying

hot chocolate and a book a whole lot more lately.

It's kind of nice.

(NEW HOUSE UPDATE... We passed the home and termite inspections

on Friday with flying colors... everything looks to be on target for

a December 15 close! Weeeeeeee!)
