Ward Easter Party

 Our Ward had an Easter Party on Saturday morning. It was pretty similar to most of the parties they put on. Food followed by games for the kids in the classrooms. The food was sweet rolls and very delicious. As usual with our ward gatherings, there weren't enough seats for everyone, so they were scrambling to set up more tables as more people showed up. After we ate, the kids were split into 5 different groups and then rotated between 5 different classrooms. The activities included stories, a craft, a relay game, and a short lesson on the events surrounding the death and ressurrection of Christ. After each room, the kids were given an easter egg filled with a prize.

Usually I wouldn't blog about a Ward gathering, but we had Stake Conference yesterday and they split our Stake. I don't think anyone in our Ward realized that splitting the stake would have any more effect on us besides us becoming part of a new stake and having a new stake presidency. However, as part of the boundary changes, we lost about 20 families from our Ward which will be quite an adjustment for everyone. It has probably also created quite the burden for the new bishopric in our Ward who has only been in place for 2 weeks now. On the bright side, our Ward gatherings won't be quite as crowded and it will be a little easier finding a seat in Sacrament meeting. We shall see what other changes take place in the next few weeks.
