| New Beginnings invitations I designed. |
It's that time of year again when we celebrate New Beginnings in our church with the Young Women ages 12-18. We have a special night to introduce the girls who will be turning 12 during the year to the Young Womens program, tell them about the personal progress program and introduce the theme for the year. This year the church wide theme for the youth is D&C 115:5 "...Arise and shine forth that thy light may be standard for the nations."
For our New Beginnings we are using a sunflower theme along with the D&C scripture, largely because of this quote by Rebecca Taylor.
"My favorite flower is the sunflower. When I go for walks in the morning, I notice how the sunflower turns its face toward the sun. By evening, it has turned so that it faces the setting sun. We can be like the sunflower: We need to turn our faces to the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and follow Him. He is our light, and if we follow Him, we will be happy." - Rebecca Taylor
One of the things we like to do on this night is to have something nice for the girls to take home with them. I put both the scripture and the quote on to a picture that will go in a frame. Then we will have 8 stations for the girls to go around to to learn about the 8 values in Young Womans: Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice and Accountability, Good Works, Integrity and Virtue. At each station after hearing one of the girls talk about their "value" the other girls will get a vinyl sunflower petal to add to their frame. After visiting all the stations they will have a full sunflower to go on the glass in between the 2 quotes. I just thought I would share since I know that some of you look for ideas.
