In just a week and a half, our church will be able to watch our living prophet Thomas S. Monson speak in General Conference.
For those not familiar with my religion –
General Conference = the first weekend of October where our Prophet and his apostles speak to their congregation from all over the world, in Salt Lake City. It is broadcast live over the internet and cable television. There are 4 – 2 hour sessions. In lieu of going to church on that Sunday….we stay at home and watch ‘conference’ on TV.
To learn more about it you can click HERE.
This is easily one of my most favorite weekends of the year!
It’s a chance to be edified and spiritually uplifted. And who doesn’t need a little of that?
If you teach the Young Womens, and are looking for a little way to encourage your girls to WATCH General Conference….I’ve done a litte round-up of some ideas.
I’ve found that you can hand these out: The Sunday BEFORE General Conference, the Mutual night BEFORE General Conference, or sometimes, I’ve hand delivered them to my girls the NIGHT BEFORE General Conference so that it was fresh on their minds.
Thanks so much for being willing to share your awesome ideas! I just got back from picking up Fanta at Target to put these together for Sunday & I'm super excited to give these to my YW. I'm having trouble finding the link for the hand out though, when I click on it, it goes to the Red vines handout which is equally cute. I've tried searching your blog for it on my own but am having trouble finding it on my own. Please help!? Thanks, Jamey in Kansas City
Oh Jamey – I'm a dingaling! I accidentally just posted the wrong link 🙂 I went ahead and fixed it so it should work now! So glad you can use the idea! Thanks for your swet comments!! xoxo
