Around the Lake Ward

Debbie was visiting grandkids last Sunday so I once again am making the report. I'm late getting it done because I was traveling this week, also! There is a small chance we'll both be home at the same time at least once before the end of the year! :-)

We got a special treat in sacrament meeting this Sunday. Sister M arranged with the Westpark Ward's primary to have 6 or 8 primary children visit the ward and sing a primary song to open our meeting. The kids were delightful and sang well, but acted like, well, kids! That made the treat even more enjoyable. I saw many teary eyes in the congregation during the performance.

In Ward Business, Mark J was released as Ward Mission Leader (a change in his job situation made him no longer available) and Matthew B was called to replace him. Michael D was sustained to be a member of the Activities Committee. Scott G was sustained as the Ward PFR (in charge of building clean-up and maintenance), and LaRee A as Ward Librarian. (With the new church handbook, Ward Activities Committees were eliminated, but we have too many activities to function without one. The Bishopric is deciding how best to proceed, but until we figure it out, we'll continue as currently constituted.)
