Faith In God


My Gospel Standards

I will use the names of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ reverently. I will not swear or use crude words.
I will do those things on the Sabbath that will help me feel close to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
I will honor my parents and do my part to strengthen my family.
I will keep my mind and body sacred and pure, and I will not partake of things that are harmful to me.
I will dress modestly to show respect for Heavenly Father and myself.
I will only read and watch things that are pleasing to Heavenly Father.
I will only listen to music that is pleasing to Heavenly Father.
I will seek good friends and treat others kindly.
I will live now to be worthy to go to the temple and do my part to have an eternal family.


Children in our church ages 8 thru 11 participate in a special program called Faith In God. It is broke down into sections and specific to boys or girls. Obviously Brie is doing the Faith In God for Girls. This past Wednesday evening was a Mother & Daughter "Tea Party" and recognition event. The girls had been working on manners and etiquette as well as their own individual talents. We got to see how much they learned. For example....
Brie learned to use her hands and fingers instead of using her mouth for everything. Isn't that nice? I'm so pleased.Brie and Rachel played a musical number together. It sounded very nice.
Of course what would the evening be without a little horseplay, right?

And after all is said and done, dresses and all, it's hard to keep a bunch of good girls down. Here they are at the end of the evening letting go of some energy.
