New Beginnings for Young Women

“New Beginnings” on Wednesday, February 19, 2014 introduced the newest members of the Beehive class to the Young Womens program.  Gabbie Graham, Thailer Lindquist, Melissa Larson, Sage Wilkes and Jillian Thomas learned about Young Women Values and the Personal Progress program from other B7 girls and YW leaders.  The evening for young women, 12-18 and their parents, was conducted by Emily Forsyth and included a skit written by Lori Bair, introduction of the theme by Grace Graham, speakers Michelle Carlston and Bishop Goldhardt and a performance of the song “Come Unto Christ” by the Young Women, with solos by Grace Graham, Tiana Schall and Emily Forsyth and signed by Elizabeth Larson.   

As the final speaker, Bishop Goldhardt reminded the young women “there are many ‘new beginnings’ in life … birth, school, a new home, marriage, birth of children like Jake and Annie Green’s baby boy born today.   Taking the Sacrament each week is also a ‘new beginning' because it provides us – through the Atonement of Jesus Christ – with a fresh start through our repentance.  I love hearing testimonies borne by you young women on the first Sunday of each month.  Some are less than 30 seconds long, but they are powerful and filled with the love of the Savior.  Those of you who consistently follow the Young Women values will have the strength to deal with whatever life has in store for you!  Follow the YW theme this year.  Perfection comes only through Jesus Christ and His gospel.”
