2010 YM/YW Activity

This year the Thursday activities will be focused on YM: the purposes of the Aaronic priesthood and YW: You are a Daughter of God. During the Young Women/Young Men breakout sessions, we will be focusing on the theme I Am A Child Of God. As a BC you have the opportunity to teach the youth about helping them realize they are a Child of God and the blessings that come from it.



Your main responsibilities will be to give the Introduction and Wrap Up of the panel discussion. You will also be facilitating and putting together a panel discussion group. You will be choosing counselors for the panel which will consist of for the YW: 3 boy counselors, 1 girl counselor and vice versa for the YM. We challenge you to take some time to prepare for this opportunity, to share your testimony being A Child of God with the youth. This is one of the few chances that you have to directly teach the youth. The youth can tell between a lesson that is “thrown together last minute” and a lesson that is “prepared and guided by the Spirit”. We have attached the outline for the activity below. You can find additional details in the Participant section of your manual p.41-49. Read the following attachment before you look at the manual. The attachment will help clarify.(click below or see attachment to email)



2010 YWYM




We would like each of you to work on your Introduction and Wrap Ups for this activity. Please share (by commenting on the blog or emailing us) a scripture or quote from a talk (by a General Authority) or both that pertains to the topic of YM: the purposes of the Aaronic priesthood and YW: You are a Daughter of God, that you find may be of benefit to you in your preparation. We have been instructed to use only the scriptures and conference talks. Please try and respond to this email/post by Sunday.

Also, as far as the panels are concerned, remember your responsibility to create a climate of revelation.

“As a facilitator, we are to discourage any sharing of sensitive personal experiences. Focus on the doctrine and principles presented in the Participant Handbook"
