FHE: Reverence

At some point or another on Sundays MaKenzie seems to really enjoy running through the church screaming at the top of her lungs. Hopefully todays lesson on reverence will help a bit . . . here's hoping!

Activity

"Disappearing-Marshmallow Rolls," Friend, Apr. 2003, 31


You will need: eight large marshmallows, 1 tube (8 ounces/ 226g) refrigerator crescent-roll dough, a cube of butter/margarine, and 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.

Ask a grown-up to melt the butter. Coat the marshmallows with the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Enclose each marshmallow in a section of dough, pinching the dough to completely seal the marshmallow in.

Ask a grown-up to bake the rolls as directed on the tube.
