CD "Let The Holy
Spirit Guide Songs For Young Women" http://deseretbook.com/products/4153511/index.htm
Contributed by: Linda yw4me@home.comOur stake's theme for 2001 is "Be one; and
if ye are not one ye are not mine" from D&C 38:27. This theme was
presented at a special meeting forward and stake leaders at a special meeting Thursday
night. Our stake presidency explained the theme and their desire that auxiliaries in our
stake emphasize this theme in lessons, programs, events and activities throughout next
year. The 2001 General YW Meeting theme, "Let The Holy Spirit Guide," will be
used to enhance and supplement our stake's theme. It would be really interesting to know
the themes other stakes have selected for next year -- what are your stake's themes?

BE OF GOOD CHEER
When you introduce the theme at New Beginnings on January
2nd (ha! ha!) you could use a "Cheerleader" theme. The leaders could dress up in
sweatshirts with something about your ward or theme on them. You could split up the theme
"Be of Good Cheer" to be on several people's shirts.
1- Be
2 - of
3 - Good
4 - Cheer (or) C - H - E - E - R on several
- pom poms (sp?) that have all the YW colors mixed
together
- the values could be written on pennants of the
corresponding color
- use megaphones to introduce the new beehives
- make up cheers for each YW group (Laurel, MM,
Beehive) as you introduce them
- refreshments could be any type of concession
food chili/hot dogs if you're doing dinner, snow cones, popcorn, nachos, cotton candy.

I painted wooden circles white and made them into compasses,
but instead of N,S,E,W, I put things like truth, virtue, hope, faith, love, etc. for the
arrow to point to. I put this in a three-fold envelope decorated cute with the theme.

We are using the "Let the Holy Spirit
Guide" theme this year and found a program outline that went along with that in a
book called 10 Terrific Programs for New Beginnings and YW in Excellence.
Everyone comes dressed in PJs and robes and as they enter they will sign in with the
receptionist for their appointment, a nurse will take their vital signs and fill out a
form and then the doctor will see them. They will all return to the YW room where we
will announce that the doctor has pronounced every single one of them "sick and
afflicted" and in need of the healing balm of Christ and the comfort of the Holy
Ghost.
The recommended talks are going to be
assigned to each class and instead of talks we are going to have them come up with a skit
to go along with it (each of the talks is based on a scripture that tells about a time
when spirituality was needed). We will encourage them to dress the part. The YW
leaders will dress as the nurses, receptionist & doctor and we are keeping that part a
surprise.
We are still thinking about what to do for
dessert. The recommendation is chicken soup and corn muffins but we don't want to
get that heavy plus we're having chicken soup before our fireside two days before
that! We are thinking about jello.
