Stepping up to Higher Ground

Thank you for visiting the Enrichment Cottage!

By Em Yungfleisch

The theme of the night is “Stepping up to Higher Ground” to go along with our Stake’s emphasis of study this year which is “The Role of the Temple in Establishing Zion in our Homes and Lives”.

They made posters for each ward that were very simple but beautiful: with a picture of the Arizona temple lit up at night, on a gold back ground with lettering for the theme, date, and time printed on gold paper and pasted above and below the temple. It was quite striking.

The invitations for each sister were printed on paper that looks like the sky, with clouds at the top and sky blue at the bottom. It had a sketch of the temple and listed the 6 mini classes available. Each person can choose 2 to attend.

The mini classes are:

Base camp: “Teaching Gospel Principles to Children”
Staying on Course: “Personal Worthiness for Teens and Young Adults”
Traveling with the Buddy System: “Singles Are Never Really Alone”
The Trail Guide: “Stepping up Our Scripture Study”
Training for New Heights: “Preparing Ourselves for Temple Worship”
At the Summit: “Understanding Temple Covenants”
I was not involved in any of the planning, but thought some of you might like to hear what others are doing at the stake level.
