Do you have a monthly value focus? I love it when there is a value to focus on each month. Why? I believe it helps support the values and instills a stronger foundation for the Young Women.
*
Just a few Ideas:
- Each Fast Sunday: give your Personal Progress Leader or member of the YW Presidency a few minutes after Opening Exercises to introduce the focus for the month.
- Give the YW a simple handout to help them remember what the monthly focus is. It could be as simple as a piece of paper (value color) with the Value, Scripture and Value Tag line found here: FAITH, DIVINE NATURE, INDIVIDUAL WORTH, KNOWLEDGE, CHOICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY, GOOD WORKS, INTEGRITY, VIRTUE
- Challenge the YW to complete a specific Personal Progress activity during the month.
- Try to have your weeknight activities tie into the monthly focus.
