Patterson Ward: Theme- Awards Show- complete with twinkle lights, statue Moroni awards and red carpet.
"Young Women in Excellence is an event in which young women are recognized for the good things they are doing. It is a celebration of Personal Progress. Each young woman shares a value experience or value project she has completed during the year that exhibits excellence. Her presentation may include talents and skills she has developed through her Personal Progress goals. "
I just received a new calling- Stake Young Women's President. Which I'm excited about, but also very nervous about. (feeling very inadequate)
As part of my calling I have the awesome opportunities to visit all the different wards in our Stake..... like attending their Young Women in Excellence programs.
I thought I would share some pictures....so my friends in different parts of the World can see what we are up too...Sharing is awesome!
Patterson Ward Young Women- "Awards Show" The room was decorated with twinkle lights and an awesome red carpet that each Young Woman walked down to receive her awards.
Each of these lovely girls shared a project she has or is working on from learning to cook, keeping family history, learning a song and singing it a different language, talents in theater, sports, babysitting, quilt making, showing gratitude and making a gratitude jar and even preparing for collage. Wonderful examples and testimonies.
Beautiful evening.
That same evening Turlock 1st ward held their program- Theme- "Don't just Fly, Soar"
The room was decorated with kites hanging from the ceiling. It was adorable and so well thought through. I loved that the evening was Young Women drive , Young Women led and Young Women focused. Sister Karen Potter gave a fabulous talk on how the gospel provides us with a sure foundation which allows us to soar even against the winds of opposition. The girls shared some outstanding accomplishments ranging from journal keeping and scripture reading to achieving academic goals and athletic goals. They where so ridículously articulate. Sweet testimonies were shared. Then Bishop Harris spoke to the girls about how even the smallest, seemingly insignificant decision can shape our lives.- quote Becky
(I was unable to attend this Wards event...wish I could be two places at once...but my lovely counselor Becky took these pictures.)
The Crows Landing Branch -"Come unto Christ "
Wonderful evening of sharing. The Young Women shared their projects ranging from water painting, sewing, dance, genealogy, organization and much more.
Their thoughts and testimonies were shared through music, displays and a slide show ...Beautifully done, you could tell the Young Women love their leaders and they are learning wonderful things.
“Come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness” (Moroni 10:32).
It has been wonderful for me to attend these events....looking forward to the ones to come.
(just wish I could go to all of them...some have been held on the same night)
more to come.
Happy day-
