I've been working on my calendar for awhile now and have come up with some activities that I thought I would share.  We take each of the three topics in the Faith in God booklet and do something pertaining to those subjects four times a year. Although this year, I've decided to not meet in July at all, and only have one meeting in June and  August. In years past, those were our hardest months with vacations and school starting, etc. The extra few activities that we'll have we'll fill in with those that don't take two meetings to complete.

LEARNING AND LIVING THE GOSPEL:

(1) Talk about the 6 {or 9} B's and have a hand out to remind the girls what they are.
(2) Have a "T" party where we will actually go to the temple grounds, have a picnic lunch and talk about temples, testimony, etc. While there, I'll take a picture of each girl standing in front of the temple to use later on.
(3) Talk about modesty and make clothing for paper dolls. We will also talk about appropriate talk in public.
(4) Clean out the nursery closet and talk about sin and repentance and the atonement...all while cleaning!

SERVING OTHERS

(1) Color some ABC books that are on the LDS Humanitarian site
(2) Make some children picture books that are also on the Humanitarian site.
(3) Talk about people who serve and how we could help them (military, nurses, police, etc.)
(4) Talk about the lonely and the friendless, pay attention to those who come to church alone or sit alone, talk about how we could cheer these people up, each girl will pick one and we'll make cookies and a nice card and deliver to them...anonymously.

DEVELOPING TALENTS

(1) Make the teddy bears found on the Humanitarian site
(2) Make a dish soap apron for Mom's day and there's also a poem that goes along with the apron.
(3) We are going to take a cheap frame, cut out small pictures of each of the prophets and decoupage those around the frame, put Jesus Christ at the top center and then put the picture of each girl standing in front of the temple in the frame for Father's Day.
(4) We are going to sew a pillow with a Christmas tree made out of different colors of green fleece, buttons for the ornaments and that can be the gift they give their family's for Christmas. Maybe talk about writing thank you notes at the same time.
