New Beginning 2010

New Beginning 2011 - 9th Ward
We first introduced our new Personal Progress Board to the new Beehives and the rest of the YW. This board will be a group board that we will have up every Sunday. As the girls pass off goals we will turn the correct tile over in the appropriate value. On the other side of the value is a picture of the temple. Once the whole board are Temple pictures then we will have a PERSONAL PROGRESS PIZZA PIE PARTY. We are hoping this gives the girls a little more encouragement to keep working on their personal progress every week. Its fun to see what a little
The Theme for the night was:    LIVE LIKE YOU BELIEVE

We did an infomercial to start of the shopping. I will post the video later.


Tonight we did a Value Mall to introduce the new Beehives into the YW's program. We had 4 new Beehives there and it was such a fun night. Each of the YW were in charge of one of the stores. They were to decorate the store with the appropriate value. As the new beehives walked around the gym/mall they would stop at each store and learn about the value. At each store they walked away with gifts from that value to add to their shopping bag. The first 7 values were in the gym and then the final Value we met in the RS room were the girls learned about the TEMPLE. As the girls, parents, leaders entered the RS room we had church music playing so that we would set a spirit for the final value on VIRTUE.

At each store the girls would introduce themselves and the store/value. They would read the scripture and the value motto, tell a personal goal they have achieved in that value, give them their gift and instructed them to visit the store next door. 

Welcome to ALDO - The VALUE of FAITH

Welcome to THE BODY SHOP - The VALUE of DIVINE NATURE

Welcome to SHADE CLOTHING - The VALUE of INDIVIDUAL WORTH

Welcome to BARNES AND NOBLE - The VALUE of KNOWLEDGE

Welcome to HALLMARK - The VALUE of CHOICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY

 Welcome to BEST BUY - The VALUE of GOOD WORKS

 Welcome to SPORT CHEK - The VALUE of INTEGRITY

The last value was VIRTUE - We talked about the the TEMPLE and how all the values lead to VIRTUE/TEMPLE. We talked about the 13th Article of Faith and how if we LIVE LIKE WE BELIEVE and if we BELIEVE in begin honest, true, chaste, benevolent and in doing good to all men that we shall receive the best GIFT, which is the GIFT of eternal life.

At the end the final gift to add to their shopping bag was a board of the Cardston Temple that read "I'm going there Someday". If we live like we BELIEVE will have the opportunity to enter the Temple someday. That was our message to our Young Women. The Bishop closed the night with a few remarks and did such a great job. We hope the girls had a fun time and we also hope they walked away with a  stronger testimony of the Young Womens program and our Savior Jesus Christ.

It was a really fun night and all the girls pulled through and did a great job at decorating their stores. For refreshments we had Orange Julius and Cinnabon. A special thank you to all the leaders and YW who put in a lot of work to help this be a successful night.
