Lesson Sunday Feb. 3, 2013

  

 

The Mia Maids presidency have chosen for your lesson this week the topic below.  We will also want to talk about "The Plan of Salvation" that is the topic for the entire month and also goes hand in hand with this lesson.

 

 

What happened in my premortal life?

Before we were born, we lived with Heavenly Father as His spirit children. In the Council in Heaven, the Father presented to us His plan of salvation, and Jesus Christ was chosen to be our Savior. Satan sought to amend the plan, taking away our agency, and he and his followers were cast out. We accepted our Father’s plan and chose to follow Jesus Christ.

Thought Question: How can understanding your premortal life influence you to make righteous choices in this life?  What choices would you possibly make if you did not know the Plan of Salvation?

See you Sunday!!

Love,

Sister Sperry

Lesson Sunday Jan. 27, 2013

We will have Joint Young Women's this Sunday.

Here is the topic.

What are the roles of the Holy Ghost?

 The Holy Ghost, a member of the Godhead, bears witness of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. He is the source of personal testimony and revelation. He can guide us in our decisions and protect us from physical and spiritual danger. He is known as the Comforter, and He can calm our fears and fill us with hope. Through His power, we are sanctified as we repent, receive saving ordinances, and keep our covenants. It is through the influence of the Holy Ghost that we receive knowledge of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and feel Their power, goodness, and love.


  I know that Sister Hutchings sent all of you a card.  She wants you to know that only those who want to volunteer to share their thoughts will be asked.  Those who do not feel comfortable to do so will not need too.

 Please take the time to read her card and go through all the questions and thoughts so that you will be spiritually prepared to listen to the lesson.

Thank you!!

Review for Who Am I and Who Can I Become:

We were small in numbers today with the 3 day weekend holiday, but strong in Spirit!

I forgot to challenge all of us to look for Divine Qualities in someone in your family and SHARE it with them. You could share on the blog just that you did it or any other comment!

Pres. Hinckley said: "You are second to NONE, you are daughters of God"

Here is the link to one of the videos that we saw today.  I would suggest you watch it again and also look at the "how they made it" video.  This was done by your peers in South Jordan - pretty cool.

Have a great week and know that we Love you!!

Lesson for January 20, 2013

1.17.13

Who am I, and who can I become?

Please ask yourselves these two questions:
1-What does it mean to you to be a daughter of God?
2-How does knowing you are a daughter of God bless you and influence the decisions you make?

Be prepared to talk about these questions and come with experiences and your own.

These scriptures and talks will help you:

Genesis 1:26–27 (We are created in the image of God)

Psalm 82:6; Moses 1:39; Abraham 3:22–26 (Our divine potential is to inherit eternal life)
Luke 15:4–6, 11–32; John 3:16; D&C 18:10–15 (The worth of a soul is great)
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “You Matter to Him,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2011, 19–22

Don't forget to bring your scriptures and be prepared to be part of the lesson!

Review from Sunday, January 13.

There was such a sweet spirit in class yesterday, thank you to everyone for participating! You all have valuable things to share and we love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

As I was preparing the lesson last week I came across the video below. Take a few minutes to watch 
and enjoy its message.

As you think about Christ, remember His power and the ability He has to change your life.

I hope you have a great week! 

Lesson for January 13

Topic this Sunday: "Why is Jesus Christ important in my life?"

Please read the talk by Elder Dallin H. Oaks titled, "Teachings of Jesus" you can find that by clicking here. (Remember you could also watch or listen to it as well!)

Think about your own answer to why Jesus Christ is important in your life and come to class on Sunday ready to discuss the talk. Write down any questions or ideas you have and we'll talk about it in class!

Review from Sunday, January 6th.

Topic last Sunday: "How can I know my Heavenly Father?"

We had a wonderful discussion about our Heavenly Father. We talked a lot about having a personal relationship with Him and the importance of prayer--our easiest form of communication.

There are a couple of scriptures I didn't get to share on Sunday that I would like you to think about:

First from 1 John 4: 7-8

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 

And from Mosiah 4:

11 And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel.
12 And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true.

The beauty of these words fill me with all kinds of goodness. So please ponder on them and think about your own relationship with Heavenly Father. And realize that sometimes it is most important to remember that above all else--God is love. 

Welcome to the new Mia Maid blog!

My dear Mia Maids of the Edgewood Ward,

Thank you for visiting this new class blog. First, I want to say that there are so many wonderful things about this year's Come, Follow Me curriculum. One of the best things about it, is the opportunity to grow as both a class and an individual. I hope that each week we can become spiritually more aware and willing to contribute to the discussions we have in Young Women's. This blog will be the place you come to find out what our lesson topics will be each week and what you can read or study to better prepare for each lesson.

I ask that you take the opportunity to visit this blog at least every week, maybe even more than once a week to be reminded of study materials and be strengthened by these wonderful resources. I also ask that you do the following things:

• Read the scriptures, talks, and quotes that are posted here. 
• Watch the videos that may be linked.
• Write down any questions or thoughts you have. 
• Apply the topics to your life. 
• Come prepared on Sundays to share with all of us.  

As you do each of these things I know that your faith in the gospel will grow and your love for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will become even stronger. Our goal here is to follow in Christ's footsteps. He is our greatest example and as we strive to be more like Him, our lives will improve. Remember! We're all learning here, so there will be some changes from time to time to see what works best for everyone.

Lots of love and prayers to you all,

Sister Larsen (or just Molly Jane :)
