Young Women’s New Beginnings
This year we decided to get down to the basics for New Beginnings. We used the 2013 Mutual Theme, “Stand in Holy Places” and added “Feel the Love.” We wanted the connection between when you are doing what you are suppose to be doing, i.e. “Standing in Holy Places”, you will feel the spirit or “feel the love.” We did a complete and total review of the Young Women’s Program with emphasis on Personal Progress. We reviewed YW calendars, schedules and Class Presidencies and their Responsibilities. (A folder with Ward and Stake Calendars, Schedules and Rosters was prepared for each family.) We examined the YW theme and a bit of the history of YW. Each value was presented by one of the YW and included in their talk what the value meant to them and gave examples from their own lives.
We used the YW value colors to decorate and in planning of the refreshments. The Laurels helped with making the refreshments for one Mutual Activity, and all the YW helped in a combined activity with the decorating.

Cinderblocks covered with “love”…value colored paper hearts glued on grosgrain ribbon and hung with drapery hook and command strips.

Surrounded a picture of the temple in white. Food table center-piece bottles with coordinating colored sand and value colored hearts.

Rice krispie treats dipped in value colored chocolate and coordinated colored sprinkles arranged rows of color.
