Swim & Serve

Join us in an evening of fun! We will gather at the Romish Residence Pool at 6pm on August 16th for swimming, assembling our cancer care welcome kits, quilt tying, good company and good food. You won't want to miss it! If you can, please bring a salad to share if your last name begins with A-M or a dessert for N-Z.

Sister Romish will have swimming available as early as 3:00 pm! Also, we ask that you do not bring your children due to the lack of lifeguards at the pool.

**Thank you to all who were able to participate in our Relief Society Temple Trip! We had a wonderful time! We missed those of you who were out of town or unable to make it!

The Best of Seattle: The Necessary Details

The Best of Seattle: Eating Out Results

The results are in! Seattle has some pretty incredible places to eat. There is a huge variety of responses, but the one that came up the most often is Ivar's Fish Bar. It's cheap, and people like to take their kids. You can feed the seagulls and watch the ferries (at the downtown location), and take a picnic to Gas Work, or sit at the tables behind the restaurant for a great view of downtown (at the Northlake location).

Relief Society Temple Service, July 30th, 8:30 a.m.

"...No sacrifice is too great, no price too heavy, no struggle too difficult in order to receive those blessings [of the temple]...As you and I go to the holy houses of God, as we remember the covenants we make within, we will be more able to bear every trial and to overcome each temptation. in this sacred sanctuary we will find peace; we will be renewed and fortified."
-Pres. Thomas S. Monson, General Conference April 2011

Mark your calendars and arrange your schedules as we join in an opportunity to serve in the temple as sisters! We will be meeting July 30th for the 8:30 a.m. session.
