New Beginnings

In case you didn't know, a GREAT deal of my time is spent thinking about, praying for, stressing over, planning for, smiling about my 18 young women at church. 

Earlier this month we had our New Beginnings program, to introduce the new theme for the year, and to introduce the Beehives coming into the program.  The night went off perfectly, and we, as a presidency, are so happy that its over!

 

This picture sums it up perfectly:

Sweet little Beehive with a temple in her sights...

 and two crazy leaders stalking her!

 Since the theme was "Stand in Holy Places," we played off the idea of standing/footprints and followed this path with footprints marked with the theme on them. 



The footprints led everyone to the gym where we had a table set up for each YW value with its coordinating color.  The girls decorated and presented their own tables, and they were so cute.  Everyone did an awesome job

Divine Nature

 

Integrity

 

After the first 7 values we went back into the Relief Society room where the Virtue table was set up with pictures of the YW leaders at the temple.  Talisha, my counselor, gave the best talk about her experience with Virtue.  (Talisha why are there no pics of you??)

 

The rest of the program including musical performances, a poem, and the little beehives coming up to be introduced to everyone.  Afterward, we had gifts for everyone, cupcakes, and cute cookies. 

It was a lot of work but it was all worth it!

Thanks for all the pics Talisha!
