The Art of being Perfect in Christ

Corey gave a beautiful lesson about what this scriptures in Moroni 10 means:
 32 Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, anddeny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.
Particularly focusing on what it means to be perfect in Christ even though we are imperfect beings. She then tied that into art and how we look at a things that don't necessarily reflect reality, but still "perfectly" represent something artistically.

The girls practiced doing a still life (a lemonade container) and partner portraits with the caveat that they weren't allowed to look at their drawing as they were making it.

Knives!

I gave a lesson about knife safety,
and then we practiced using knives safely by making ivory soap carvings, featuring stars, hearts, circles, and triangles.

We had one small incidence with a cut, but Megan was ready with her first aid kit.
