LESSON REVIEW - HOW CAN I BECOME MORE CHRISTLIKE?

Jesus Christ set the perfect example for us, and He has commanded us to become as He is. He exemplified characteristics such as faith, hope, charity, patience, humility, purity, diligence, and obedience. As we learn of Him and seek to develop His attributes, we will become the women He and our Heavenly Father would like us to be.

New Beginnings - Musical Item

Here is the musical item that we will be singing at New Beginnings on Wednesday. 

We will practice on Sunday but as it is a long weekend, then some of you will not be there.  Hopefully you will be able to find the time before Wednesday to listen to this a few times. We will probably have a short practice before New Beginnings on Wednesday.  We will let you know regarding that.

October Lesson Schedule

October: Becoming More Christlike

 

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

 

 

This unit will help the young women learn about and develop Christlike attributes.

 

Jesus Christ has commanded all of us, “Be perfect even as I, or your Father who is in heaven is perfect” (see 3 Nephi 12:48).

 

Developing the attributes of Christ will help the young women fulfill their divine potential as daughters of God.

 

They will need these attributes as they face the challenges of living in perilous times and as they prepare to raise righteous families in the future.

 

October 6th - General Conference
 
October 13th - How can I become more Christlike?
