Ward Work day at Far West: The stake has assigned the Kearney 1st Ward to use Wednesday, June 5th as the Ward's Workday for Far West. All adult and youth members are asked to help clear Zion's Camp before Girl's Camp begins the following week. We will meet at the church at 8:30am, have a light breakfast, head up by 9:00, work, eat lunch and then work a little more. The majority of the hardest work has already been performed and we'll mainly be cleaning and prepping for girls camp. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Brother Tanner keithtanner@msn.com

Come Follow Me & Personal Progress
"The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth." (D&C 65:2)
This month's lessons will help the young women understand the priesthood and how it can bless them now and in all their future roles as daughters of God. The priesthood is the power of God used to bless all of His children equally, both male and female.
Camp Corner June 13-15, 2013
We have 7 YW (with 7 totes) going to camp on Thursday, June 13. They need to be at camp no later than 8:00 am. (They have very limited drop off space and are staggering the arrival times. They requested all groups be on time.) We will have 8 YW (with 8 totes) coming back on Saturday, June 15, leaving Camp at 4:00 pm.
We want everyone to be especially aware there are a considerable amount of locust thorns at the camp site. Hopefully the work crews will have most of them removed. The girls are required to wear closed toes shoes at all time. BUT - - - to be safe – the thicker the sole the better!

New Era Message
Start with what you already do Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles has said we can create family bonds "through family traditions for birthdays, for holidays, for dinnertime, and for Sundays." If your family has a busy schedule, start by working on something you do already, such as dinner, scripture study, or prayer. Help your family be consistent. Then talk to your parents about planning an easy family activity. (New Era, June 2013, page 18)
Here are some suggestions to get you thinking:
Frisbee, Puzzle Party, Home Movie Night, Family Slumber Party, Pie-making night, Picnics, Roller Skating, Summer Water Fight, Walks at a Park, Gardening, Karaoke Night, Bike Rides, Chalk Mural Drawings, Kickball, Family Cookout, Ping-pong, Temple Trips
