Highlands Ranch Stake Center In The News!

After the last General Women's Meeting, we posted about some professional pictures that were taken and sent to Salt Lake for consideration in The Ensign (click HERE for the original post). Well, one image was, indeed, published in The Ensign!

And, to further excite the Highlands Ranch crowd, that same image was posted to Lds.org in an article about the upcoming General Conference. To check out our stake center as highlighted on Lds.org, please click HERE.

Project Linus=Project Success!

Project Linus was very well attended this year- with an abundance of smiles and good cheer! Thank you to all of the ladies who organized this annual event, and to everyone who came and served! Over 5 million blankets have been distributed to children suffering terrible trauma in their lives, and that is because of the dedication of so many volunteers throughout the world! Thank you!

Stake Softball Tournament: Young Men

Once the ladies finished their fun, it was time for the Young Men to take to the softball field! I must admit, in watching their games, it was a little more competitive than the ladies, but I am sure everyone had a great time- which is really all that matters!

Just Serve: Project Linus, Saturday August 23rd

The Highlands Ranch Stake has worked in conjuction with Pax Christi for several years to help with Project Linus- a wonderful service organization that provides blankets to children suffering through great trials. 

You can learn more about Project Linus by clicking HERE.
 
Pax Christi has a dedicated group that meets monthly to work on quilts, and we join with them once a year to help them with this wonderful project.

This Saturday, August 23rd, from 9-12 the stake will be meeting at the Wildcat Building, with members of Pax Christi. This is the second year in a row we have hosted this event, and it promises to be a great day of service!

They are still in need of some sewing supplies and refreshments. You can sign up by clicking HERE.

Everyone is invited to come and attend this event- even children are invited to come and color quilting squares to be made into quilts! You do not need to be a quilter to come- just come and serve and have a great time!
