Young women's Activities

I see so many wonderful theme ideas, when I speak at Young Womens gatherings. I plan on sharing some others in the next few months.
 

A Young Womens group in Sandy, Utah, used my book "A ROYAL GUARDIAN" as the theme for their New Beginnings night. They wrapped up a book for each girl and placed it in a treasure box.  Different colored objects were placed in glass jars across the piano to represent the values that the young women were to guard. We talked about what it means to be a guardian and make choices that coexist with gospel values in everyday situations. It was a wonderful evening. The shield and helmut came from a local costume rental shop.
 

You could easily recreate this theme by having a discussion about the characteristics that Joan of Arc displayed, to introduce what it means to guard something that is precious.  Michael S. Wilcox's book, "Ten Great Souls Souls I Want to Meet in Heaven" has an excellent chapter devoted to her.  It's worth buying the book, studying it and using it as your guide for teaching a true principle: guarding your values. 

Also, using the description of the values in  my book, you can then discuss how you guard that value against worldy in fluences.
