Young Women ~ April

🌷 Hello April! 🌷

As you all know, March brought many unexpected changes to our Young Women organization (and ward). We miss the adult leaders and young women who now attend the 6^th ward so much! Fortunately, we saw them at Stake activities in March, and we will continue to see them at combined activities in the future. This whole experience taught us we can do hard things, we can handle change, we can make new friends AND keep the old, and we have each other's backs--no matter what!

Here's what's coming up in April...

SUNDAYS 

Thank you to Taylor Remington and our Stake YW leaders for leading our discussions in March! The following young women have volunteered to teach our Sunday lessons this month. Thank you!

• April 10, BRIDGET MOULTON and MARCIE MORTENSEN will teach "How Can I Strengthen My Faith in Jesus Christ Every Day?" to separate classes.
• April 24, AYLA HAMBLIN will teach "Why Does God Give Us Commandments?" to all of the Young Women.
  

Also:

• JULIANN SOUTHAM and BRIDGET MOULTON are ushering during sacrament meeting on April 10.
• CHARLEY and BRITTANA ALEXANDER are responsible for ushering during sacrament meetings the remainder of this month.
• Youth class presidencies meet every Sunday for about 15 minutes immediately after church.
  

WEEKNIGHT ACTIVITIES

The following activities are scheduled in April and are focused on our 2022 goal to strengthen our spiritual foundations by centering our lives on the Lord and on the ordinances and covenants of His temple. Names in parentheses indicate the young woman in charge and leader assisting.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE

• As your daughter registers for classes for the 2022-23 school year, be sure she leaves a spot in her schedule for SEMINARY (grades 9-12). I know seminary is a critical and worthwhile opportunity to learn more about our Savior, Jesus Christ, and grow a testimony of His restored gospel. Please encourage your daughter to take seminary, and please take a moment to log into your Church account and register your youth for seminary TODAY!
• It's not too late to register for For the Strength of Youth (FSY) Conference. Youth may register for and attend any open session available anywhere anytime all summer. A $75 fee will be due when you register. Sign up for FSY TODAY! Don't miss this amazing opportunity that only comes around every other summer!!
  
• Watch for more information from our local leaders about the "Tabernacle Experience" on April 15. Firesides, devotionals, trainings, Passover dinner, and other events are planned to make this unique experience a significant part of our Old Testament study.
