  1. Eowyn I don't think your comment is offensive, just realistic. I'm done trying to plan the activities when it's convenient for everyone, because realistically it's NEVER convenient for everyone. We plan what we plan and hope for the best. The priesthood should support the RS and the other way around. I applaud wards where the men were able to step up and sacrificed their time and sanity to watch a gaggle of kids. My reality in my twig of a branch is that we're out in the middle of no where, the congregation is spread out for miles and we only have 8 active priesthood members. Not whining just stating the facts. I know we are supposed to have these activities to bring the sisters closer together and develop relationships. I will see what I can do about getting some men to "volunteer" to watch the kids.
  2. We also only have 1 young man in our branch. There is a lack of man power in our branch. There are only 2 men who might be available to watch the kids, but they also live over an hour away.
  3. Thank you for all of your responses. There is an option of swapping with a ward 2 hours away...A lot of the fathers/husbands work in the evening or travel for work. We could just ask the sisters to find their own childcare, but this would put off a lot of them from coming. Another option is to ask the priesthood to volunteer 2 men to watch the kids at someone's house or the church. I was told that there must be priesthood at every church activity but I can't find in the red handbook where it supports this. Does there need to be priesthood when the acticity is held in a member's home or only the church building?
  4. I am the RS pres. in a twig of a branch. We are having a combined activity with RS & YW next month. Due to the inadequacy of our rented building we are holding the activity at a member's house. Her basement isn't kid friendly due to remodeling the basement. Can I have some advice for how to provide childcare for the sisters? If we don't have childcare a lot of the sisters might not show up.
