A Night at the Auction

We are so excited about our Service Auction Enrichment Night this coming Thursday! The point of the auction is for us to get to know one another better and grow in love and unity by serving. Sappy? Maybe. But so much fun and completely worth it!

So how will you bid on services if there's no money involved? On the night of the auction you will be given a questionnaire. It will have questions that you can mark off to earn points for the evening's activity. Some of the questions could be if you...

-Had Family Home Evening this week
-20 minutes of daily exercise
-Obeying the speed limit
-Read your scriptures this week
-Fed the missionaries in the past month
-Did something nice for someone

There will be many ways to earn points. These are just a few ideas. Answering the questionnaire and keeping track of your points will be done on the honor system.


We have some great items up for auction. Thank you to all of you who are donating your time and effort to and making this a great success. Some of the items are (but not limited to):

-Dinners
-Rides to the temple
-Babysitting
-FHE Lesson and Conference Bingo activity
-Handmade items, such as cards, tote bags, apron, and scarf
-Desserts, desserts, desserts!
-Being taken to lunch
-Homemade bread, rolls, and jams
-Sewing and voice lessons
-Help with housework and home organization
-Game and movie nights

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday! Refreshments will be served, and a nursery will be provided by the men.
