Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Kim A. says, “I attached a program I compiled for a mutual night activity, it could be adopted to be a YW New Beginnings.” Uses an ant theme like “excell-ants” or “obedie-ants” to teach valuable leadership characteristics. I think this would make a good leadership lesson theme or could possibly be adapted for YW in Excellence. 3 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, color.
Brenda H. shared this script for a skit that uses the popular story The Wizard of Oz to teach about the virtues needed to attend the temple. The entire script is written in rhyme, which would make it very easy to memorize. In addition to Wizard of Oz costumes, you’ll need the following props: * Bean Bag with signs for obstacle * Temple Backdrop * Sign that says (Path of…

Kim A. says, “I attached a program where I gave a leadership lesson for the Stake YW leadership training and then gave them the FROG lesson to share as a mutual night or New Beginnings program.” This collection of ideas uses a frog theme and has lots of cute ideas for food and handouts. Also includes quotes and a leadership lesson. I think this might be altered for a cute…

I got inspired by the Relief Society Declaration Subway Art shared by a visitor and decided to try my hand at creating subway art, too. Mercy’s sake — it’s TIME CONSUMING!

Cute candy bar wrapper has the young women’s values on it along with the words “raising the bar of righteousness”. I used a Hershey Milk Chocolate with Almonds 1.45 oz. bar. The labels don’t just “slip off” anymore on these size bars, so just fit the label over the top.
Amy M. shared these beautiful bookmarks that her unit is using for New Beginnings relating to the theme they’ve chosen: “For our 2008 New Beginnings, we are using Sister Julie B. Beck’s talk: ‘What Latter-Day Saint Women Do Best: Stand Strong and Immovable,’ and also Elder Russell Ballard’s Dec 1993 Ensign article ‘Steadfast in Christ’ which says, ‘Just as ships need anchors to keep them from drifting away on the…
