Helping YW Transition into Relief Society |
|
If you have an idea that you have used in your ward to help the YW make the move into Relief Society, I would LOVE to hear about it! I will post them as I receive them. I know how hard it is for both the RS President and the YW President to help the girls through this change. |

| In my previous stake in Indiana they shared a great idea to help the YW with transition to RS. It was a gift bag for each incoming YW. They had the usual items for a new sister, a calendar, RS list, Lesson schedule, lesson manual but also there were a few items poking fun at ourselves: pkg of green jello, crochet hook, hairnet, etc. This is given to the YW during a visit by the RS presidency when she turns 18. It is a good way to start a conversation about how RS is for everyone, it's not just old ladies doing old lady things. You can also include a puzzle piece, letting that YW know that she is a valuable part of RS. A way to build on this is to ask the YW about her talents and then give her an oppotunity to share those talents in a lesson, or Enrichment night. -Jenny Pocock Castle Rock, CO |
