HAAM Season of Sharing
As a covenant church with Humble Area Assistance Ministries (HAAM), the Kingwood, Humble, and Atascocita wards participate each year in a food drive for Thanksgiving and Christmas meal baskets provided to over 600 screened families for each holiday. Our commitment this year is to donate canned green beans and corn, beginning immediately and continuing through Sunday, Dec. 11. Please donate as you are able, placing canned food in the gray bins in the foyers, marked “Season of Sharing.”
Food collected by Nov. 13 will be taken to HAAM for the Thanksgiving baskets.

Ward Christmas Party
The Ward Christmas Party will be held on Saturday morning, December 10, from 8-9:30 a.m. It will be a breakfast with Santa activity, however we want to invite EVERYONE to attend. There will be activities to entertain the children, as well as some door prize drawings for everyone. The ward will provide cereal, milk, juice, fruit, pancakes and syrup, and we are asking everyone else who attends to bring their favorite breakfast food to share (i.e. egg casserole, bacon, sausage, muffins/bread).
Stake Day of Service
Our Stake Service Project Day is this Saturday, Nov. 5th . The plan is to meet at the church at 8:30 am for donuts, etc. and then to go out on a number of service projects.
Our ward Relief Society has been assigned to go to a nursing home and provide service. Arrangements have been made to go to the Cypress Wood Assisted Living home on Chestnut Ridge. We are going to play games with the residents from 10-11 am that Saturday, Nov 5th. We will be carpooling from the church around 9:30 am. There is limited parking spaces at the retirement home so it would be best to carpool. If you have a favorite game that you can bring and play with them, please bring it. We are not sure how many will attend the game hour, but we can have fun with those who come. The director truly appreciates those who will be coming because she said that they do not have an activity for them this Saturday. Thank you for you donating some of your time to make others feel wanted and happy!!

Emergency Preparedness
Dear Sisters,
As you know, we are in the hurricane season, and I am sure that you have been talking with your families regarding getting prepared. A couple of months ago I ran across an article in the Chronicle about this subject. I thought this article gave some great advice that would be easy to do and would save a lot of headaches in the event of a hurricane or other disaster.
The article explained that it is important to take pictures of the inside, and outside of your home --either by camera or video. In the event of destruction of your property, This is important documentation to be used for insurance purposes. Using the pictures, you have a good source of proof for your claims.
It is also important to take the pictures, either in a flash drive, or the actual cd or photos with you if you are evacuating. Or, you can put them in a safety deposit box away from your home. Or you can mail it to some trusted relative and ask them to keep it at their home. Then, if your home is destroyed, you won't loose the photos.
The entire article can be found here.
Hope all continues to be well for the families in your wards.
Love, Irene Thomas

Poinsettia Orders 2011
Each year the Kingwood stake offers a gift to the community, demonstrating our belief in Christ and inviting friends to view a magnificent display of Nativity sets from around the world in an ambient setting of Christmas music, twinkling lights, fresh trees, and live colorful poinsettias. The plants are purchased by ward members and used as a protective buffer between guests and the displays. When the exhibit is over, plants are taken home for personal use or given as gifts. Please consider your gift opportunities when making a decision about the number of plants to buy at this discounted price ($7.50 per plant). The red poinsettias are about 18" tall in a 6 1/2 inch pot.
To purchase poinsettias, please sign up on the list on Sunday and pay the $7.50 per plant using a tithing/donation slip. Write "Poinsettia Purchase" in the "Other" category and give the donation to a member of the bishopric. Thank you for your support!

Stake RS Service Project: Backpack Buddy Club
This year in conjunction with the Relief Society broadcast, September 24, 2011, we will be doing a service project. We will be collecting food for the Houston Food Bank’s program, Backpack Buddy Club which provides chronically hungry children who rely on free or reduced price lunches with child-friendly, nonperishable, easily consumed food for the weekends.
We propose to begin collecting food starting immediately. Sisters can also make money donations if they desire. On Sunday, June 26, bins will be placed in all of our buildings. For any who wish to make money donations these can be given to members of your bishopric in a tithing slip by writing 'backpack buddies' on the "Other" line. On the night of the event, we invite all sisters to take part in packaging the food for donation to the Food Bank.
Please note that this is strictly voluntary. We recognize that there are those who are not in a position to contribute. We reiterate King Benjamin's counsel that everyone impart that which they can, whether that be time, canned foods, or money. The sacrifice involved in any of these gifts will be sanctified to that individual.
Here is the breakdown of the foods most needed:
Proteins: Meat stews, canned meats (tuna, chicken, etc.), peanut butter, canned beans
Fruits & Vegetables: Fruit cups packed in 100% juice, 100% fruit juice, canned vegetables
Grains: Boxed grains (including cereals), macaroni and cheese, canned pasta meals (i.e. Chef Boyardee)
Healthy Snacks: Cereal bars, granola bars, low fat crackers, low fat/sugar cookies
Dairy: Shelf-stable milk
Again we want to reiterate that people should not feel obligated and should only impart according to their circumstances. Every item donated makes a difference in a child's life. In our service we are following President Monson's counsel:
"We are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness…We are the Lord’s hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us."
Thank you for all you do,
