Young Women ~ August

🍎 Hello August! 🍎

In addition to a new school year, new schedules, and new routines, many fun activities are coming up this month! But before we get to all that, we want to THANK KATIE BROWN and her team for a very fun and successful Young Women Camp at the end of July. We went boating on Bear Lake, we camped in high style, we learned about the spiritual tools we need to navigate life, we explored Minnetonka Cave, we crafted, we ate delicious food, we braided hair, and we learned we can do all things through Christ—just like Rosie the Riveter! Our Young Women gave beautiful devotionals, bore their testimonies, served one another, and made us laugh for three glorious days. Camp 2023 was a highlight of our summer! Thank you, Katie and the entire Brown family!

We also want to thank MEGHAN JOHNSON for her service as an adviser for our older Young Women class. She is moving on to a new calling, and we will miss her!

Here's what's coming up this month:

SUNDAYS

In July we discussed how Christ leads His Church and what it means to be a disciple of Christ. Ayla Hamblin, Taylor Remington, Charley Alexander, and Marsha DeAngelo taught excellent lessons! Thank you!

August 13, BRITTANA ALEXANDER is teaching "How Can Jesus Christ Help Me Change?" to all the Young Women.
August 27, BRIDGET MOULTON and LIZZY MITCHELL are teaching "How Can I Show that I Know My Body Is a Sacred Gift from God?" to separate classes.
CHARLEY and BRITTANA ALEXANDER are ushering during sacrament meetings this month. Please arrive by 11:45 a.m., and THANK YOU!
Most Sundays, youth class presidencies meet for about 10 minutes immediately after church for brief presidency meetings.
August 13, class presidents have Ward Youth Council immediately after church.
