Young Men and Young Women Celebrate Their Ancestors

 The oldest Young Women class (15-18,)  led by their leader Hilary Sroufe planned a joint activity to celebrate eternal families and loved  ones who have left this life.

    Each member of the group was asked to bring a picture or memento of an ancestor or family member. These are the pictures and objects that were displayed.

    Several things were encouraged:  Beginning a story of your own life, learning something about your ancestor, looking on the Family Search app to find out more.  Several found names ready to be taken to the temple!

   Another fun aspect of the evening was for each person to bring a family recipe dish or treat to share.  For example, cookies their grandma made or a roll recipe passed down in their family.  They definitely had a great night celebrating their families!
