New Beginnings Peace in Christ

New Beginnings Peace in Christ 2018

Young Women New Beginnings “Peace in Christ”

We used this year’s Mutual theme D & C 19:23 “Peace In Christ” for our New Beginnings theme.  Where can we turn for peace, where do we go to find Christ?  For some it is in prayer, for others they turn to the scriptures.  Other people seek solace by going to a special quiet place, like a garden.  Gardens have played a special role in the history of mankind.  The Garden of Eden was man’s first home given to him from God.  It is also where the fall occurred.  Interestingly enough, Christ’s atonement also took place in a garden, the Garden of Gethsemane.  So two of the greatest events in the history of mankind took place in a garden.  Another great event took place in a grove of trees, when Joseph Smith prayed to seek the answers he sought.  The Sacred Grove is a garden of trees.

Gardens have been where some of the most spiritual events in our history have occurred.  So we decided to use the garden theme for our NEW BEGINNINGS theme this year.

PROGRAM

Our program included a special musical number: “Peace in Christ” sung by the Young Women.  Opening song was Primary Song, “When I Am Baptized” and closing song Hymn, “Where Can I Turn For Peace?”

Four of the Young Women gave a “quiz” about the Young Women’s Program and Personal Progress and then went through the answers with everyone.  We used the quiz idea from the website: The Red Headed Hostess.  Three of the Young Women gave talks  “Where Can I Turn For Peace.”

At the end of the program each girl received a white rose, necklace and pens with the mutual theme. (Necklaces were from the Etsy shop templesquares and the pens with mutual theme were from LatterDayPrintables.)

Our program:  (our cover and posters in the room were from the shop Westwillow on Etsy.
