Today, the Jamestown Ward Relief Society sisters had a Saturday of Service. We began our day by working on several service projects. The projects included the following:
1. Donating and bagging up hygiene kits
2. Tying two baby quilts and a full size quilt.
3. Cleaning up donated used toys
4. Making baked goods
At the end of the work day, the toys, hygiene kits and one quilt were delivered to a local Women's Shelter. In addition, the baked goods were delivered to many of sisters from our ward that are shut ins. One of the sisters that I delivered baked goods to was taking her afternoon nap at the nursing home, but I know she will appreciate the little touch of love left on her night stand. The day didn't end in only work, as we were also fed a great lunch, prepared by several of the sisters who attended. The sisters were also able to make wooden centerpieces that Ritch Thompson cut out for each of us (and only broke every saw blade he owned to do it). Kathy Runkle from Fredonia also shared her talent of filling canning jars with soup and brownies. I love that so many people help one another by using the talents that they have. As I watched the sisters and participated in these activities it was such a wonderful feeling to be able to work together, laugh together and get to know each other better, while helping to serve others at the same time.
