New Beginnings 2010 went off without a hitch! We had such a fun, amazing night! We decided to spotlight the theme for the year, which is Joshua 1:9. The scripture talks about Being Strong and of Good Courage and recognizing that the Lord is always with us, no matter where we are or where we go. So, we thought about where we go and what we do everyday.....and ended up with a theme for the night of Purses and High Heels. Each girl was asked to bring a bag and a pair of shoes that best represents them! It was so fun to see what each brought.....we had everything from gigantic handbags and glittery/sparkly shoes, to slippers and spiderman back packs! It was so fun. The stage was the spot for them to display all of their shoes and bags, where we also had rod iron bodices dressed up to add to the decor!
The major decoration/talk of the night was the RIDICULOUSLY CUTE AND AMAZING CAKE that Sis. Finch made! When we gave her the task of making us a Red Velvet cake for dessert, little did we know what would come of it! The picture will speak for itself!And yes.....EVERY SINGLE part of it is edible!
(Ok, minus the beads)
Is that the cutest thing you've ever seen or what?!!
Thank you so much Sis. Finch!
Our evening consisted of a fun video of all our activities last year, a special Personal Progress moment and thoughts by Sis. Sessions, a musical number by all the YW, an amazing talk by Sis. Heap in which she spoke about everything we pack physically in our purses everyday before leaving home and how they relate to the YW Values and how they represent the Spiritual items we should make sure we pack before leaving each day as well. Each of the YW took turns coming up after and sharing a thought they had been asked to share and placing it in a purse, then we had final remarks by Bro. McKinstry from our Bishopric.
Each YW was given a High Heel treat to take home with them.
It was such an amazing night and was so fun! We love these Young Women and feel so lucky to be with them every week! We hope that as they go throughout the year, they will be mindful of the places those beautiful shoes of theirs will stand. We truly hope they will walk in righteous places and that as they pack their bags each day, that they will be as particular about the Spiritual things they pack as they are the Physical Earthly possessions they carry. We have incredible YW and we recognize the honor it is to serve them at this time! Thanks to all who helped make this such a special night!
