Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
I don’t know what it is with me and BINGO and General Conference, but for as long as I can remember all three have been associated with each other. It started out as a way for me to pay attention, but now with maturity and a longer attention span, I’v…
The upcoming 2015 Youth theme was recently (unofficially) announced, and it’s found in one of my favorite chapters of the Doctrine & Covenants.
Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.
Doctrine and Covenants 4:2
I don’t know about you, but I’m super excited about this theme! It seems like the themes they choose sort of build on each other, going from Stand in Holy Places, to Come Unto Christ, and now Embark in the Service of God. To first focus on building and strengthening yourself, and now putting the emphasis on building and serving others. That’s a huge pattern in this Gospel, and things like Personal Progress testify of the power in this pattern.
NEW! (10/20/14) At popular request I’ve created additional Youth Theme posters keeping with the same styles as before. The first style is now readily available in six color schemes, in one easily downloaded PDF. I also have the 2000 x 2500 JPG files for each poster, if that’s a preferable file type for printing. I will continue to provide custom colored posters upon request.
The second style I have is a variation on one I had available previously. The text has remained more or less the same, but the background is now a simple chevron instead of the wave pattern done previously. There are two different types of this theme available now. Upon hearing the comments of several, I’ve done one where the A in EMBARK is replaced with the sailboat art. Both types are available in four different styles, with differently shaded backdrops, and one without the chevron. Likewise, I will be offering this second style in custom colors upon request, and they are available as both PDF and JPG files.
Many have asked about ordering these posters. I am not selling any of these posters—they are 100% free! My job is only to create the files. If you want a physical poster, you would need to take it to a printing store (OfficeMax, Costco, Staples, Office Depot, Kinkos, etc.) and have them print it for you (or if you have a good home printer and want a stand 8.5 x 11). They are can be printed in good quality up to 20 x 25 inches.
To download the PDF, click on the large image above in the corresponding theme, and for JPG click on the individual thumbnails directly below.
Anyway, on to the fun stuff! Inspired by this theme, I’ve thrown together several posters.
I personally think they’re super cute, especially the last one! I will actually be offering to do the first one in custom colors—just email me at [email protected].
I really hope these are useful! I may be uploading more depending on my time and creative energy, and if you have any questions of suggestions, leave them in the comments.
I have a complicated relationship with Seminary. I love studying the gospel as a group every single day, but I don’t like the waking up at 5:00 every morning and sitting in heavy traffic. Somehow, though, I’ve survived it so far. That being said, I l…
I’ve been trying to find a good system for studying and marking scriptures as I prepare for a new year of Seminary. I found several great systems, that I’m sure would work well for many other types of people, but for me personally I wanted something en…
I was recently teaching in Young Women’s about the importance of preparing to be a wife and mother, and while I really loved the resources suggested, I had a strong impression to emphasize “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” in my lesson. And so …
Whether you’re doing the Personal Progress Summer Challenge or not, this planning sheet could serve as a valuable resource as you plot out your Personal Progress goals. It can be downloaded as a PDF here.
Many of us are setting the goal to read the entire Book of Mormon over the summer, but some people aren’t always so sure how much they need to read to finish it by their goal. Inspired, I created a basic chart showing how many chapters and/or pages a d…
Complete the Personal Progress Program in its entirety over the course of twelve weeks! The idea of doing the entire Personal Progress Program over a single summer may seem ridiculous, but in reality is entirely doable! Personal Progress is all about …
Those looking to use the most recent conference talks in Personal Progress may find it helpful to have the most recent talks sorted by value. Many of these talks can apply to multiple values, I just sorted them by what I felt were the most prominently …
Here are the Young Women Values in popular Chalkboard style.
Our personal progress classroom temple banners fit on four pages or less. I created them to be used at New beginnings or when you are focusing on a particular value during the month; however, you’ll find lots of uses for them at camp and other activities, I’m sure. Simply print out the pages, align the overlap, and tape for a beautiful classroom poster! Enjoy! Sample image:
