Reflect The Light of The Lord
Program
by: Stacy
We are using the Reflect the Light of the Lord program
this year as our main theme. In addition, I've tried to base classes/lessons
around what is being taught each month in RS, since we were told to base our
Enrichment nights around the monthly lessons. I'll tell you what - boy has it
been a chore to
come up with things that "go together" and make sense so we can have a cute
theme or advertising slogan. But here's what I've got so far.
Outline:
Early Girly
Enrichment Lesson
Provident Living Lesson
Classes
On going book review class
Refreshments
In addition we have 4 sister spotlights, an idea table of fun things to enrich
the home/family, and 2 FHE packets the sisters may sign up to get copies of.
January - Personal Development & Education/present Reflect the Light of
the Lord -
Happy New Year . . .How to Make it Happen- we presented the "Reflect the
Light of the Lord" program/booklets and the response was awesome. We had a
slide show about the RS declaration, our president spoke about the program, then
we
went and had dessert - everything chocolate! we're using the different areas of
the declaration each month to help us plan classes and to help the sisters get
their goals done.
