Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Fran Stucki wrote this script that uses a giant object lesson, a 6 foot sub sandwich, to teach Young Women values from For the Strength of Youth. Here’s what Fran says: “This is a New Beginnings Program specifically for 2007. It is a take on the theme (Let virtue garnish thy thoughts…) It is a Cooking Demonstration Show set at the Virtue Deli. It is presented by the YW Sisters….

Jenny Phillips (not me, Jenny Smith) has written this script to accompany her CD, Daughter of a King. Simply order the CD, and *poof* New Beginnings or Standards Night is taken care of! The script calls for 6 Young Women speaking parts and 1 adult narrator, though you could perform it with as few as 3 people. No special costumes or sets are required. No memorization required, but the parts…

This card template was made using my LDS Digital Scrapbooking elements. This makes two cards per 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper. It has a ribbon with the flower elements and the word “Young Women” in the bottom right quadrant in “Scriptina” font. There is plenty of space on this card to type in the title of your event, and it’s generic enough to use for birthday cards, invitations,…

Gina D. shared the skit she used for New Beginnings. Even though it’s written for the 2007 theme, it’s a simple skit that could easily be adjusted to fit any year’s theme. She also included her skit and invitations. You can find them by clicking on “new beginnings” below. 1 page, 8.5 x 11 inches, color.
Here are some ideas about what we are doing for New Beginnings. Our theme is B.O.O.T. Camp “Building Our Own Testimony” Our invitation is a draft letter; very simple. I am attaching our program (it is still a work in progress, but I will send it to you as it is right now). There is also a little skit that is turning out cute. It requires 7-9 girls. We have…

An alternate logo (YW version, instead of Army) and format for the BOOT Camp Draft letter provided at http://mormonshare.com/lds-clipart/boot-camp-theme-new-beginnings . The logo was created by myself in GIMP.
My friend who is YW President in her ward gave me a copy of the talks that her Young Women are using for New Beginnings this year. This New Beginnings program has six short talks that describe espisodes in the lives of several women from Church History. Each talk is assigned a Personal Progress value (Divine Nature and Knowledge are combined) and each speaker ends the talk by saying something…

This is a skit submitted by K. Adams. This skit was organized (from an inherited script) and directed by her daughter for a Personal Progress 10-hour project. There is music and a very fun skit with special effects and fun dramatic parts for the actors. What’s interesting to me about this skit is it involves the girls’ fathers — using them to encourage the girls to avoid bad habits that…

I thought I would share this skit so someone else could take advantage of all the work. It also includes an activity. The idea of the activity is to get everyone interacting during dinner in ways they may not normally while at the same time introducing the values. This skit was designed to be done by the leaders It is very simple and includes a dinner. We try to do…

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…
