The Labyrinth Experience
Today's lives don't allow for much reflection time, time to look inward and begin to know who we personally are in relation to God. During the Middle Ages, people searching for meaning to their lives or answers to problems would walk a labyrinth. Made of concentric circles, a labyrinth is a geometric path that leads to the center and back out again. Within the labyrinth, the path winds back and forth in circuits. Each turn is an "about face" 180 degree turn. 
The labyrinth has become a rediscovered tool for personal, psychological, and spiritual transformation. 

Labyrinths can be as simple as masking tape on a large floor to as complicated as hedges grown into a garden labyrinth. For designs and more information on labyrinths check out the following websites:

  Cookie Contest Fundraiser
Before Stake Conference we made a point to find out what the favorite cookies were for different people in the church as well as other well-known people. The kids then made batches of these cookies to be tasted at Stake Conference. A table was up at the Conference with all kinds of cookies on it. In front of each batch of cookies was a card that read "Grants favorite cookie" or whoever's cookie it happens to be, and then the kind. Tickets that allowed a person to vote for their favorite cookie for a mere fifty cents a piece. In the next bulletin, we announced the favorite cookie of the stake. Next Stake Conference will will make and sell the "Lamoni Stakes' Favorite Cookie." 

You don't happen to know President Bush's favorite cookie do you? Ellen Smith, Lamoni Stake
