Then come to the church and get some WANTED items. Everything free! Invite Everyone!!!

All left over items will be taken to Joy Junction

RS Service Project

"When Ye Are in the Service
of Your Fellow Beings Ye Are Only in the
Service of Your God" (Mosiah 2:17)


We are starting a new Service Project. We will be making winter hats and scarves for Joy Junction, the homeless shelter in our ward boundaries.

We are in need of all sizes. You can do any patterns or use any materials. This is great! Your own creativity and your own talents.

We have posted some basic patterns if you are in need, but there are tons more patterns online or in books.

We would love for you to tell your friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. The more we have helping the more we can help those in need in the cold winter months.

We will be delivering them sometime in October, so we have 4 full months to work on these.

There will be a donation box in the RS room on sunday's or you can drop them off at Sister Giras' home.

We have some yarn available in the RS closet now and we will be buying more soon.

Excited to bless the lives of others? If you can only make 1, then we are happy!

Questions, contact Sister Giras

No Sew Fleece Scarf

No Sew Fleece Scarf

Materials needed:60 inch wide fleece, Scissors

Step 1: Start by laying your fabric out just as it came off the bolt- folded so it is 30 inches wide from the fold to the open side. It isn't necessary, but you can now cut off the finished edge if you prefer (it usually looks like it is folded up and pressed).

Step 2: Measure along the folded edge and make a small cut (you can also mark it with a marking pencil instead of cutting) every 6 inches (you'll get about 6 from each yard this way). Repeat on the open side so the cuts or marks will line up with each other.

Step 3: Cut a straight line from the mark on the folded side to the mark on the open side to make one long strip that is 6 inches wide.

Step 4: To make fringe on the ends of your scarf, make 5 cuts about 1.25 inches apart and about 4 inches long into each end.
