January 2010 - Updates

OAKCREST ORIENTATION CHANGE

Due to a conflict with the Priesthood fireside on Sunday, January 31st, the Oakcrest Orientation meeting has been moved from 7 pm in the Chapel to 5pm in the Relief Society Room. We apologize for the last minute change.

YW YOUTH LEADERSHIP TRAINING

Please note a time change for our upcoming YW Youth Leadership Training. The training was originally scheduled for 3 hours on Saturday, February 20th; however, the training will now run from 9am - 11am at the Stake Center. Please remember, we would like one leader from each ward to accompany the Beehive, Mia Maid, and Laurel class presidencies.

THE LIVING CHRIST – SCRIPTURE REFERENCES

A number of wards have asked about including the scripture references in “the Living Christ”. We have decided to exclude the scripture references when we are reciting it together since the references tend to interrupt the flow. We are extremely excited about the challenge to memorize this inspired document and we hope you are feeling the blessings and power of this inspired document. Please share with us any tips or techniques that are working for you and your YW.

WARD CONFERENCES

During each ward conference, the Stake YW Presidency is delighted to come and teach the YW lesson to the combined group. During opening and closing exercises, we would like to sing Hymn 85: "How Firm a Foundation" (opening song) and Hymn 256 "As Zion's Youth in Latter Days" (closing song) to compliment the lesson. If you have someone in your program (youth or leader) that could play these songs , we would appreciate it. If not, please let Sister Marsh know beforehand and she will be happy to play the accompaniment for these songs.

2010 Oakcrest Orientation

A quick note for everyone:

The Oakcrest Orientation Meeting has been rescheduled to avoid a conflict with a New Beginnings program. The orientation will now be Sunday, January 31 at 7pm in the Stake Center chapel.

Please pass this information along - We hope this will work out better for all!
Thanks!
