We are having a C.H.I.C.K's night out
with the mothers. Chicks stands for "Chosen heirs inherit Celestial
Kingdom". We are going to start out with a short lesson on proper
make-up, meaning not too much just right "The natural look." then I
have a Lady showing 3 cute hair styles that can be worn to church and
school. Then I have a short lesson on Mormon etiquette, meaning how
to say the prayer properly, don’t chew gum while speaking in
sacrament, when you say a prayer for a group go up to the front of the
room and stand. These are some of the things we have noticed in our
ward that seem to have been forgotten, we are also going to address
the issue of proper attire to wear to church, not modesty dress that’s
not the problem it's the flip flops and the sweatshirts or t-shirts
worn with jean skirts, how do we dress when we have and interview with
a member of the priesthood or what is appropriate attire when
attending the temple, funerals and weddings. We feel like the
standard of dress for these types of situations has been forgotten and
that we have all become to "casual". As leaders we are singing the
song "Daughter of a King" by Jenny Phillips. I have then put together
a short picture video I have pictures of all the moms when they were
teenagers and then a current photo of their daughters. I will then
close with a short talk on what CHICKs really stands for and what it
means to be a chosen heir.
