Christmas is a time for giving and letting others know that they are special and loved, and what better way to do that than with SUGAR COOKIES!
We will be decorating Christmas sugar cookies to give away and spread Christmas Cheer. This is also a great missionary opportunity to give some Christmas cheer and share the gospel.

Icing and cookies will be provided, but bring any special toppings that you can think of i.e. sprinkles, red hots, gummy bears, etc.
Date: Monday, December 7th
Time: 7:30 pm
Location: King Street Chapel (2810 King Street Alexandria, VA 22302)

President Nixon Teaching Institute/Announcing New Singles Ward

It will be my privilege to teach the Mid-Singles Institute class this
Tuesday evening, December 8, 2009, 7:45 PM, at the King Street Chapel. In
addition to my lesson on Joseph Fielding Smith, I will take the opportunity
to announce the First Presidency’s approval of the new Mount Vernon Virginia
Stake Singles Ward.

At that time, I will also be sharing:

The Stake Presidency’s vision for this new ward.

The name of the new ward.

The names of the new bishopric members.

The place and time when the new ward will start meeting.

Who is eligible to attend the new ward.

Why the creation of this ward required approval from the Quorum of the
Twelve and the First Presidency.

On that occasion, I will also introduce the new bishop and allow him to
share his testimony and vision for the ward, its members and future.

With gratitude and love,

President Nixon
