Provo City Center Temple

Provo City Center Temple

I had to stop and take pictures of the Provo City Center Temple since it is now completed and a working LDS Temple. It has a rich history going back to pioneer time. I have watched this temple rise from the ashes and took pictures of it as it was being constructed. See the post after the fire and then again as it was being built.

Young Women’s Standards Night; “2 ‘Bee’ Holy” (Bee theme!)

June 21, 2013 by shelley

For our standards night we used the theme “2 ‘Bee’ Holy”.

“2 ‘Bee’ Holy”

That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. Numbers 15:40 )

It was an extension of this years mutual theme “Stand in Holy Places.”

“Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord” (Doctrine and Covenants 87:8)

Temple President of the Kansas City Missouri Temple, President Hardy and Temple Matron Sister Hardy were our guest speakers.

In their talks we asked them to emphasize how each YW can make herself holy in these times even with all the challenges faced in the world today, to know they can be in the world but not a part of the world. And that we can be holy at all times, in all places and in all things, even as we are bombarded with many outside forces. We wanted our Young Women to learn how to find the strength from within, and that strength comes from our personal relationship with our Heavenly Father.

They did a wonderful job!

We decorated using the “2 ‘Bee'” theme;

We used the Relief Society for the program. The front blackboard and table was decorated.

Banners to decorate front of the room.
