I'd really appreciate it. >> I appolgixe for posting part 2 without part one. Actually I had sent part one to some one personally and made a mistake and sent part two to the list. She is probably wondering were her part 2 is and you are wondering where part one is. Isn't life funny some times . This was found in th YW Corner web Site www.mormons.org/ywc Julie I n.SLC Here is Part one Laurel Projects When I was a Laurel, I wrote a play (one act about 20-25 minutes) and put it on with another Laurel and a little girl from primary for a fireside one Sunday. For another project, I got a book of cross stitch patterns from the church bookstore (I've even seen the book on the internet for sale) and cross stitched all the values and meanings and the theme and pictures of the torch and each class's picture. Then I made it into a quilt using the young women colors as borders. I still sleep under that quilt! --Heather Put on a prom for the ward's married couples, complete with pictures. --Sue One YW did a years worth of family home evenings, with all the flannel board pictures and props....tons of work, but what a wonderful resource for her future family as well as her present one. --Sue One Laurel is teaching a 9 year old boy to read. --Sue Give piano lessons. --Sue Coach or run a tournament for a YW sport. --Jen Blackwell Do a babysitting service projects--so couples could go to the temple. --Jen Blackwell Help make awards, binders, bookmarks, or other YW memorabilia for the incoming Beehives or upcoming activities. Make pretty value-colored posters for the values, value statements, and related scriptures. --Lisa Leavitt Make tablecloths out of the value colors for the young women's room.--Lisa Leavitt (You may get YW funds for this or donate it) Make a craft or room decoration which includes all of the young women colors for each young woman in the ward. When a young woman finishes that value, she gets an item of the matching value color. This may encourage the girls to think about what she still must do to complete her year's experiences. Plan an all-night scripture-a-thon. Plan different characters from the scriptures to visit throughout the night/evening and different discussions to keep everyone awake and focused on the reading. --Diane Have a clothing drive. Make boxes to place around the building and asked members donate the clothes. Launder, separate, and fold all the donations. Take them to a shelter. (Check first with the shelter first to determine needs, etc.) --Diane Organize a service project to benefit a home for pregnant girls. Make a quilt for each baby that will be born soon. Provide seasonal decorations to make the home more cozy and throw a seasonal party. If there are also children living there, provide activites or crafts for them at the party. --Diane I have given my Laurels the choices of putting together the various special activities throughout the year (New Beginnings, YW in Excellence), and one of my Laurels did a Super Saturday activity (our ward was in charge of the activity, and she had a great idea, so we let her do it). They always come up with such creative ideas!!! You could put one in charge of a fireside, a weekday activity--someone said they had about 10 mini-activities to let the girls see some ideas for full-blown activities, and then they took 2 or 3 of those activities a week and let the girls do more involved projects. Then there's the "make something for someone needy" activities: eg. making quilts, teddy bears, toiletry kits and getting book donations for the local S.O.S shelter; making quilts for the homeless shelter; work in the local soup kitchen x amount of hours; making quilts and baby clothes for the hospitals to hand out; gathering donations for the thrift shops; etc. There's also doing yardwork for a shut-in; helping people move into or out of the ward (mostly setting up volunteer schedules); visiting a local nursing home (or setting up a ward service project for a local nursing home, doing yardwork, visiting the residents, having the primary make drawings and sing songs, etc) Someone in our Stake had a Laurel make a plaque (like they have for the Eagle Scouts) for all the girls in their ward who received their YW Medallions. I think that's a great idea myself, and have considered having one of our Laurels do it. - --Jessica 0 Plan a youth temple trip (rides, accomodation, lunch, etc., etc.). --Mary Learn to quilt, knit, crochet, cross stitch, etc. and complete a project. - --Mary One of our girls had lived in Eupore and wanted to prepare a scrapbook of her experiences there. --Mary Write an YW or YW/YM newsletter monthly for a specified length of time. Distribute it to all the youth. --Mary Do volunteer work at a food bank, shelter, hospital, etc. Make it more than putting in time, but plan some special event or contribution. --Mary Learn and practice a homemaking skill such as cooking or sewing. (20 hours worth should teach them well) Plan a YW retreat for the ward. --Mary Work on genealogy at you local family history center. Computerize your family records on PAF or do research yourself. Prepare names for the temple and do the work. --Mary Learn a musical instrument and perform at YW in excellence. --Mary Compile a cookbook or favorite recipes from ward members. --Mary Learn to paint or wallpaper. --Mary Maintain a garden for a season. --Mary Tutor a younger person in a subject you are good at. --Mary This one is almost completed by one of our girls: transpose favorite YW music into singable keys! We purchased many copies of "I walk by faith" and received permission from the publisher to transpose a pianist copy because we' ve got a room full of altos. This girl comes to my house on Sunday afternoons to use my computer music program. It has been really nice to use some of that music that they would otherwise screech and giggle through. --Mary Make a year's worth of personal progress reminders and handouts for YW. --Mary Our Laurel class made arrangements to go to the children's ward of a hopsital on a monthly basis and decorate for the different holidays. For one weekday activity we would make the decorations, and then on Sunday we would take them to the hospital to put up on the walls. We did this for about 7 months. We also have had several different service projects where we sewed bibs for a women's shelter and have gone to the local food bank and also the bishop's storehouse. --Dari Davis, Springfield, VA Spend time at the dog/cat pound doing service there and taking care of animals - --Susan Greer Planning and implementing a large all-day free babysitting activity a few weekends before Christmas so that parents in the ward can go Christmas shopping w/o little ones afoot (includes snack preparation, planning the day's activities, assigning other YW to take part of the assignments, making Christmas presents for the parents, lunch, taking pictures for the parents to see later, etc.) --Susan Greer Planning and implementing a canned food drive in the community Gathering clothes to be taken to Mexico (pick-up, cleaning clothes, sorting by size, gender, seasons; packing and delivery to appropriate people in the community) - --Susan Greer Providing a large family with the "12 Days of Christmas" anonymously, of course! --Susan Greer Making baby quilts and presenting these to new mothers in the ward along with "baby baskets" filled with essential baby items ~ we have the mothers come and share their feelings in Opening Exercises when the quilts and baskets are presented. --Susan Greer Organizing a YW choir Providing a summer's worth of service at a home for young children with physical and mental disabilities. --Susan Greer Writing a Sacrament Meeting Program to be "performed" (probably not the most reverent word for a Sacrament Meeting) by the youth (a Laurel did the Book of Mormon as her theme) These are just a few of the more successful ones I remember over the last 13 years. Hope there are some new ideas here! :-D (laughing) --Susan Greer I just moved from UT and found out that the church is now an official organization that gives world aid. If you contact SLC ask them about it. The girls can put together new baby kits, crochet leper bandages, etc. The church can give you all the specifics. --Sue The address you need is: Deseret Industries Sort Center LDS Charities attn: Humanitarian Service Projects PO Box 26393-0393 1665 Bennett Rd. SLC, Utah 84126-0393 Dari Davis, Springfield, VA Advice to Leaders About Laurel Projects Some I have said "no" to: "Can I use camp as a laurel project?" and "I've been cooking a lot lately. Is that a project?" :-) --Mary in Spokane - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

I set up the class with a temple gown on one side and a wedding dress on the others and used this article to teach the girls. They ate it up. I did not have the second half of the article yet This is just for anyone who would like to use it. The handout for the lesson was this quote from the article "You cannot improve on the Lord's way. It was planned by the Father. The ordinance if His. The authority is His. The words are His, and the house is His. Who would dare to compare the tinsel of the temporal with the gold of God." Marriage Out line from Cree-L Kofford Civil Marriage While civil marriage allows you to be married for time only, the sealing ordinance makes you eligible to have you marriage last forever Ingredients of a civil marriage * The bride and groom make certain promises to each other * The bride and groom can then legally live together under the laws of the land. Just as the baptism conducted without authority in the meridian of time were eternally powerless so too is a civil marriage powerless to do anything but qualify the man and the woman to live together under the laws of the land. Adorning the ceremony with a minister or ever an LDS bishop, a beautiful church or other building, tuxedos, limousines, music, and all of the other trappings will not change that . So it is with a civil marriage. It is not the Lord’s way and no amount of rationalizing will ever change that unchangeable fact. Temple Marriage a.k.a. Sealing Ordinance Sometimes the word "sealed" is visualized as attaching or bonding a man and a woman together. Being sealed refers much more to the act of conferring the blessings of God upon the husband and wife individually and jointly ( and upon there children) then it does to just "uniting" a man and a woman. The word sealed also indicated that God is putting His seal or stamp of approval upon the ordinance. It is an ordinance established by God and is the same as that ordinance by which Adam and Eve were joined in together as husband in wife in the Garden of Eden. The actual sealing Having already received your individual endowment and dressed in appropriate clothing, both of you kneel on apposite sides of an alter in the sealing room and there you will receive proper counsel. Then, under the direction of the officiator—one of the few men on the earth upon whom the prophet of the Lord has authorized the sealing power to be conferred – you will participate in the ordinance of celestial marriage. 1. Individual covenants and blessings. The individual nature of these promises is such that even if one of you were to cease being obedient following your participation in the sealing ordinance and so lose the promises made to you, the other partner who remained faithful would continue to be eligible to receive the promised blessings. 2. Joint covenants and blessings. The two of you jointly will make promises, commitments, and covenants with your Heavenly Father and will make covenants to receive each other as husband and wife. You then will jointly receive promises of blessings conditioned upon your faithfulness. 3. Joining in celestial marriage. It is here that you are untied forever, becoming one flesh before the Lord and forming a new family unit that, if you are faithful and obedient, will last forever. 4. Blessings for children born in the covenant. It is commonly said that children are" born in the covenant." They are entitles to blessings of the Abrahamic covenant, including a. The gospel b. The priesthood c. Celestial marriage d. Eternal life e. In the temple all of the promises, commitments and covenants you make will be witnessed by two Melchizedek Priesthood holder of your choosing and will be recorded in heaven and well as on earth. Read D&C 131:1-4 We learn from this revelation received by the Prophet Joseph Smith that the sealing ordinance, which eternally unites man and women, is a requirement for exaltation, which means living with God our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ His Sin in the Highest degree of the celestial kingdom, Where the power for continuing to extend the family throughout eternity is present. The Holy Sprit of Promise Don’t forget that every blessing promised to you in the temple, whether individually or jointly, is conditioned upon your faithful obedience to the covenant you make in the temple. The Covenant, commitments and promised that each of you make must be sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise. (The Holy Ghost) The Holy Ghost can see into the hears of each of up and can consequently discern deceit, half-truths and misrepresentations. Thus when the sealing ordinance is "sealed by the Holy Spirit" the Holy Ghost is satisfied that the parties to the sealing ordinance have been obedient in order to enter into the sealing ordinance and afterward obedient to the covenant they have made. - - To unsubscribe to lds-yw, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe lds-yw" in the body of the message.

As for the 'rule' about leaders not sleeping in the same room/tent as the youth, I was told this rule a couple of years ago, and I had a hard time with it too. It was explained to me that it was to avoid the potential for problems that have occured in the past involving leaders sexually or otherwise abusing the youth. Most of us would never consider anything like that but I suppose they would rather be safe than sorry.
