April 30th
Trek Family
Service Project
As a trek family, you choose a service
project that you want to do for this activity. Some ideas are listed below, but
these are only suggestions. Feel free to be creative!! You are welcome to
combine with other families in your ward, but you do not need to.
Remember to take a few minutes at the
end of the activity to add the journal
glue-in and record your thoughts about the activity into your journals.
(Don’t forget pens and glue-sticks)
This activity covers one of the
spiritual preparation goals for the Trail
of Faith Award.
Encourage your trek children to look at
their Duty to God requirement in the
Serve Others Section of the Priesthood Duties OR Personal Progress Good Works #6. This service project can help the
youth complete those requirements.

*** The stake leaders will

each trekker to carry. We would willingly accept any help in putting these bags
together. This includes measuring flour into plastic bags, cutting fabric into
small rectangles, and/or sewing the fabric bags closed.(Any families interested
in helping flour bags for your service project, contact Deena Peterson
801-420-5321 or deenapete6@gmail.com to coordinate and get supplies.)
