Young Women Show They Are Anchored in Christ

Calling the Young Women’s Program “inspired” President Jill Fraser introduced the theme for the YW in Excellence Program on Wednesday, November 11, 2015 noting, “by coming to Church each week, attending Young Women’s, doing what we have been asked to do, the Lord sees we are ‘anchored in Christ’ and, as such, knows He can count on us!”

As each girl attached a link to the anchor she shared a quote from a Church leader relating to being Anchored in Christ, then introduced herself and her interests and hobbies on display.  B7 Young Women are involved in and excited about poetry, music, reading, painting and drawing, volleyball, softball, dance, cello, quilting, musical theater, marathoning, puzzles, sewing, pottery making basketball, drill team and the scriptures.

Bishop Mike Bair expressed his love for the girls and spoke of the four pillars to show “you are anchored to Christ” which he said are “prayer, scripture study, worship – especially at weekly Sacrament meeting – and service to one another.  Also, remember to be a good example of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those around you and remember to do these little things which will bring you big rewards.”

The Young Women and their leaders, accompanied by Debb Johnston on the guitar, closed this beautiful meeting with “Someone He Can Count On.”

B7 Ward's young women are Martha Bown, Sally Fraser, Jillian Thomas, Sage Wilkes, Melissa Larson, Tecia Clem, Iris Zeidner, Caroline Smith, Cara Bair, Tavia Clem, Monica Melendez, Alicia Melendez, Erica Evans, Grace Bown, Aspen Bair, Brianna Rucci, Hadley Forsyth and Tiana Schall.  Thanks also to those called to assist the young women obtain their goals including President Jill Fraser, 1^st Counselor Lori Bair, 2^nd Counselor Vanda Lawson, Secretary Nancy Anderson, Laurel Advisor Debb Johnston, Mia Maid Advisor Trudy Oviatt and Beehive Advisor Joy Alldredge.
