Container Gardening

 

 

This week we had our last Keeper's meeting for the summer at Susan and Anna's house.  Sis. Susan taught us all about container gardening.  If you don't have the space for a garden plot you can plant herb and vegetable container gardens. For this meeting we each planted some flowers in containers to decorate around our yards and patios.

Keepers Luncheon

Thursday our Keepers club had the annual badge ceremony.  We don't have Keepers during the summer because of everyone's busy schedules.  Last year we had a brunch with all the Keepers families but this year we decided to do something a little different.  We had a luncheon for the ladies!  Sisters from church came and joined us for an afternoon of fellowship.  The Keepers girls and their moms arrived early and helped set up tables and decorate.  Thanks for all your help! :) 

 

 

On the ledge we displayed all of the projects we've done this past year for the ladies to look at.

 



 Some sashes...

Each project out of the Keepers Handbook that we complete, we recieve a badge.

This is the ninth year of our Keepers Club so a few of us girls have quite a few badges! :)

 After the meal we asked the ladies to share either a scripture, a quote, or something to encourage the Keepers girls.

Sis. Simone compiled a list of "You say:" versus "God says:"
You say: "It's impossible"   God says: "All things are possible" (Luke 18:27)
You say: "I feel all alone"   God says: "I will never leave you or forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5)
You say: "I can't figure things out"   God says: "I will direct your steps" (Proverbs 3:5-6)

 

Each girl recieved a certificate of achievement for completing another year with the club.

We all memorized and recited Titus chapter 2:1-15 to the ladies.

 Danielle is getting married in June and her tea-party themed bridal shower was last Saturday.
