Where Does Tithing Go?
-
1.
When we earn money, we pay 10 percent to the Lord. This is called tithing.
-
2.
We give our tithing to the bishop or branch president or one of his counselors,
-
3.
who then counts and records it with the help of a ward or branch clerk.
-
4.
Then Church leaders in Salt Lake City, Utah, decide where the tithing is most needed.
-
5.
It may be used to help build a new meetinghouse.
-
6.
It could go toward building a new temple.
-
7.
Or maybe your tithing will help publish materials for missionary work.
-
8.
No matter how your tithing is spent, it helps with the Lord’s work on earth.

Shimmering Stones
To make these “precious stones,” you will need: newspaper, a disposable foil pie tin, water, a ruler, clear nail polish, and clean, dry, smooth stones.
-
1.
Spread the newspaper over your work area.
-
2.
Fill the pie tin with water 3/4″ (2 cm) deep.
-
3.
Add just one drop of nail polish to the water. It will spread out over the water, forming a film.
-
4.
Select one stone. Carefully hold the sides of the stone while rolling it slowly across the bottom of the pie tin.
-
5.
Place the rock on the newspaper and let it dry completely before handling.
-
6.
Ask a parent or another adult where to discard the leftover water. Repeat the previous steps to make another stone.
