Local EFY Sessions Planned for Summer 2011

Following is information from the Stake YW President on a new EFY option that will come to Portland next summer:

There are three separate sessions that the youth can sign up for. If there is an overflow, a fourth session will be added. The session dates are July 11-15, July 18-22 and August 8-12. The youth can simply choose which session works best with their summer schedule.
This is the exact same program that they would have if they were to choose an out-of-town session. There are family groups, ccounselors, games, dances, classes, outdoor activities, musical numbers, talent show, devotionals etc. The only difference is that instead of going to a dorm to sleep at night, they go home. The sessions are all day. Meals will be catered.
The sessions will be held at the Hillsboro Stake Center or the 209th building (depending on which session they sign up for). These buildings were selected because of their size and because they have substantial outdoor areas that will be used. They were selected by the EFY director.
The cost of EFY at Home is $150 (compared to $450 for the out of town sessions). This is a substantial savings for a fabulous youth event.
Registration will be done online the same way that it is done for the other EFY sessions. Regsitration begins February 2, 2011. Registration will be open to the youth of our multi-stake group only for the first 2 weeks, then to anyone.
Lastly, we are looking for host families for the youth in the Rainier and Forest Grove Stakes who would like to attend. It is a considerable distance for those youth to travel each way. If you are interested please let Reenie Fisher know.

Personal Progress note

YW, Here are a couple of reminders from Sis. Cluff about Personal Progress:

1. If you participated in the 40-day ward fast with your family, you have completed Integrity Experience #6.

2. If you have conducted in RS--two different songs--that you know the words to, you are almost done with Knowledge Experience #6.

Make sure to record these so you remember they are completed!

Go Hailey!

Congratulations to Hailey on completing her first cross-country season at Sunset! She ran a personal best of just over 22 minutes (for a 5K--that's 3.1 miles) at the district meet last week!

YW at the Temple - September 2010

The temple is the house of the Lord. The basis for every temple ordinance and covenant—the heart of the plan of salvation—is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Every activity, every lesson, all we do in the Church, point to the Lord and His holy house. Our efforts to proclaim the gospel, perfect the Saints, and redeem the dead all lead to the temple. Each holy temple stands as a symbol of our membership in the Church, as a sign of our faith in life after death, and as a sacred step toward eternal glory for us and our families. ~Elder Russell M. Nelson
