I’ve been on both ends of your problem and it is frustrating. As the RS Secretary I would take one week a month and stand in Primary, Jr. and Sr. until every Sister saw the book. In between I went to Nursery. It took time and patience but our Primary sisters felt more involved and came out more. I also rotated sign up and missionary lists so that Primary and Y.W would get them first on occasion. Hope this helps.

I was new to young womens and had just came from a move to a new ward, and was also put on the lds (enrichment) relief society committee. I was surprised and impressed that the young women in our ward had taken the first sunday or the second, I’m not to sure, and they went into primary and taught the primary lesson that one sunday a month so that the teachers could go to relief society and catch up with all the announcements. The relief society made sure that all of the primary women were present and really made them welcome and aware of what was coming up. It also gave us leaders and advisors a chance to attend relief society too. We only did it for six months, but the young women enjoyed it and learned important things too!

I think it would be helpful to create an email group of those sisters that serve in primary and young women. Then send them a quick email right after church each Sunday with announcements, signups (they can reply to you to sign up), and other applicable updates.

Our RS President comes to third hour primary and gives the announcmentts.If for some reason she can’t one of her conunselors will. Since Our Primary schedule is so different this year they also go to second hour sharing time. We gratefully appreciate their efforts to keep us informed!

one of our laurels made a young women torch out of left over ceramic tile pieces and then screwed the logo onto a board, (cut and carved by one of the priesthood) to create a plaque. The plaque was then used to engrave each young womens name and year they have received their medallions. This can help motivate them to complete their personal progress.

My favorite youth conference as a youth was at Rockin R Ranch. Any dude ranch would be fun.
Park City’s day pass to the Olympic Park looks fun too.
Depending on your ward budget. Our budget is extremely limited so we can’t do those things, but they were all ideas I looked into for our ward.
Two years ago, our ward stayed at a cabin (someone we know) on the way up, we went rock climbing. Then a workshop that evening. The next day, we went river rafting and to a lake again with a workshop that evening. Saturday we did a service project then headed home. It was a lot of fun. The kids still talk about it. -

March 12, 2011 at 5:00 pm in reply to: Need Video Emma’s Garden Party Pictures of Gen. RS Pres.? #244760
I just printed pictures of the Relief Society presidents that I found online. They aren’t the best quality because the files were small but they look ok in a 5×7 frame.
Jenny I am using the History of the Relief Society Program (the readers theater one). The link I used to find the program (theideadoor.com) no longer works. I have a hard copy of it but I would like to add some things to it so I was wondering if you have the file and could email it to me. Otherwise I am planning on retyping it all :(

We did this in RS, but could be used for YW.
We had three classes, Balancing a Check Book, Paying off Debt, and Saving.
We had a teacher in each class teaching how to balance a check book (and other bills) and what the best way to pay off debt as well as staying out of debt and then the importance of saving. The teachers used real numbers like how much a house typically costs, how long the loan is for, and what the monthly payments are. You could easily use Monopoly money to play “house” and instead of using a home as an example, use a car. Tell them how much a car is and what the monthly payments are. Show them the importance of saving now, to get what they want later. I’m sure you can use the game of monopoly and change the properties to meet the needs of the girls. But I think it would be important to give them numbers on how much things cost and how the world works. As a new mom, I had to learn how “the world works with money” and sometimes we assume that you just know, but you don’t. -
March 11, 2011 at 1:35 am in reply to: New Church Handbook of Instructions — What did you think? #244034
Would it be appropriate to change the lessons order around to match a monthly focus on a particular personal progress value? For example January is integrity, so all the Sunday lessons taught that month are on integrity (lessons 23,34,29,37 in that order) then February: individual worth, lesson 1,39 and so on… This seems to be an idea growing rapidly here in Utah county. The YW/YM resource guides, in years past, have said..”please teach the lessons in the order printed” Yet the new 2011 does not. Has this changed?
I personally love the lessons and feel their order is significant, yet i have been unable to find any current (2011) information on this topic. -
March 8, 2011 at 2:22 pm in reply to: Are announcements in the RS Sunday meeting given before or after the opening prayer #243975
I have recently been called to the RS Presidency in our ward and was wondering about the same thing. This is what I found in the new handbook (9.4.1 p.67) which makes it sound like the announcements do come after the hymn and prayer afterall (and that is how we run things) :
‘Each (RS) meeting begins with a welcome by a member of the presidency, a hymn, a prayer, and brief announcements about opportunities to serve, upcoming events, illnesses, and other appropriate information……..’ -
We are doing geo caching with a theme of “We seek after these things”. We are going to different places to match the theme…. like a hike for Ensign peak that overlooks the temple is virtuous. A service project is doing good to all men. Going to Red Butte Gardens for something Lovely. The family history museum is of good report…. etc. All locations will be found using GPS.

i think that this hymn can actually help us Young Womens to understand more about our values and how we can help others by using these values.

To Jenny Smith:
As mentioned before we do have a FHE packet in spanish that I would love just to donate to your site so people can download them for free here. I don’t think anyone realizes we made them, so I would rather people download it for free rather than not use it at all.
Thanks :)JIll
