This year I’m offering the scripture theme as a free download. The scripture theme matches the fabric Young Womens large theme and Young Womens Value Banners in my Etsy shop. You can also purchase them as posters here. As always leave a comment saying where you’re from as a thank you! While I’m offering it for free, the copyright still remains with me, so please enjoy but don’t copy or [...]
I just did a few posters for the stake and thought I’d make this one a freebie. If you have a Stake Youth Conference coming up, feel free to download and customize the details for your own event. Preview is below, click here for the high resolution version to use. Don’t forget to leave a comment if you download it and say what you’d like to see next on my [...]
I chose to base the lesson on the supplemental talk given by Susan W. Tanner, “The Sanctity of the Body”. First of all because I thought it fit my girl’s needs better and two, I’m not a trained fitness coach and didn’t want to give the girls a jumprope test to point out who was more fit than the other! I also borrowed from the Doctrines of the Gospel institute [...]
While preparing for the Lesson on Living Righteously Amid Pressures, I came across Elder Cook’s lesson on Living by Faith and Not by Fear. The scripture he shares has always been one of my favorites, so I made it into a bookmark. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Tim. 1:7 Now you too can [...]
Here is a handout to go with Lesson #33: Avoiding degrading media influences. I had the girls think of their minds like a library and how it’s important to not fill the shelves with bad things that crowd out the good. The girl’s head has an open book to illustrate this idea, along with three arrows. The first arrow points towards the book, where girls write down the standards for [...]
I learned a great lesson a few weeks ago: Have one strong message that takes most of the lesson and they’ll remember it. This was discovered during the lesson on scripture study. I gave them the handout and quizzed them on each step. I’d point to someone and shout out “step #4!” and she’d say “ponder!”. The girls enjoyed the game and can you believe the next week they still [...]
For Valentine’s this year, I used the YW General Presidency message for the YW printed on pink and red paper (lesson #5). But why limit warm fuzzy messages for just February? Download the message here. If you download it, leave a comment. How long have you been in Young Womens?
In January I posted some opening exercises cards for Young Womens to match the YW Theme banner and scripture I designed. I had a few comments from some readers to switch the order of the opening exercises cards. Well here it is! Thanks for the suggestion Melissa! Original: conducting > announcements > hymn > prayer > theme > scripture > lesson Alternative: conducting > hymn > prayer > theme > [...]
Thanks to a lovely suggestion from a reader, I’ve designed a Book of Mormon reading chart. This isn’t your traditional chart, it’s a massive flower with each pedal representing a chapter in the Book of Mormon. Yep, that image above is what the finished chart looks like! Fun huh? Same rules apply as always for using this: 1) leave a comment saying where you’re from! 2) use it and respect [...]
Here is a handout that I gave to my girls last week on scripture study. I also printed out the value bookmarks for the new girls that arrived after New Beginnings (I gave out the bookmarks at New Beginnings, also available in Spanish). Hope it adds that extra bit of oomph to your already wonderful lesson. There’s a preview above, but be sure to click on the pdf link below [...]
