I think I am going to introduce the theme using a stringed puppet.  The first thing that came to mind is the country song that says “you’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything.  You’ve got to be your own man (I will change the word here) not a puppet on a string.”.  Then each month we will use a chapter Pres. Hinckley’s book Standing for Something as the theme. 

 Just my thoughts…still working on the presentation.
