Come Unto Christ Write-on Board
The Youth Theme for 2014 is Come Unto Christ (which I love by the way!!!) I’ve been seeing lots of cute boards and things on Pinterest with the theme on it, but I wanted to do something a little different. I’ve already made a Menu board and a Message board, so why not make a Come Unto Christ board?I like this idea because it’s so much easier to wipe off and change what you need to focus on.
It was super easy to make – I just printed the words out on card stock, chopped them up the way I wanted them, added a little distressing then glued them in place. The frame I bought was certificate size so it fit an
8.5 x 11 piece of paper much better.
I felt a need to create something today! My daughter is a missionary for
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Today was the day she was flying from the Provo Utah Missionary Training Center, where she’s been for the last six weeks, to her mission – the Mexico Mexico City Southeast Mission.
So I’ve been watching her flights all day!!! The craft gave me something to do and not be too far away from the computer! Oh, and she safely arrived about half an hour ago. Now she’ll get to see if she actually understands anything in the Spanish she’s been learning for the last six weeks!
Back to my craft . . .A dry erase marker is all you need now to write the goals you’re working on to help you Come Unto Christ. Write it right on the glass and wipe it off with your finger or a kleenex.
These aren’t my goals – I’m a little old for EFY! We’ll be making these next week in our Laurel class activity. So I wrote possible Young Women goals on here. Some other ideas include:
Daily: personal prayers morning and night, read my scriptures, write in my journal, attend Seminary, review Scripture Mastery, have family prayers, serve someone in my family
Weekly: attend all my Sunday meetings, worthily partake of the Sacrament, attend all youth activities, participate in Family Home Evening, index 25? names, read Sunday lessons in advance, work on Personal Progress, bless someone through an act of service
Monthly: read the New Era/Ensign/or both, complete a full 24 hour fast, pay a full tithe and fast offering, attend the Temple, index 100? names, write to missionaries, bare your testimony (either verbally or written in your journal or inside a Book of Mormon), read your Patriarchal Blessing
Yearly: watch General Conference in April and October, watch the women’s broadcast, attend YW Camp, attend Standards Night, attend Especially For Youth, read the Book of Mormon or the scriptures that you’re studying in Seminary, attend Tithing settlement.
