Subject: [lds-youngwomen] Scripture Study Lesson Ideas


Hi all! Better late then never. Here are some thoughts and ideas I found on scripture study. Hope someone can use them.

Angela in N. CA

She is having the girls make a bookmark - spell out their names and then think of a Christ like word for each letter. Then look up a scripture that goes with each word.

Then she plans to laminate them -

When I have taught this lesson in the past, I made up a calendar chart and challenged the girls to read a chapter a day and mark it on the calendar. It was to be hung somewhere in their room to help remind them to do it daily. This is especially good to do during the summer time when the older girls (at the time I was teaching the Laurels) aren't in seminary keeping them going on the scripture study. I have done this myself and it helped me to really get in the habit of regular scripture reading/study.

Once I spoke on "Scripture Study" and I taped a couple of Aspirin on my dress and when I got up to speak I told everyone that I had a terrible head ache and someone in the hall had told me that a couple of aspirin would help, so I taped a couple on my dress but they did not seem to be helping....I went on to say that I had to get them inside me to help, just like the scriptures, we have to get them INSIDE us to help us. I hope this will help you!


ATTACH TO A PACK OF GUM
Daily scripture study is lots of fun,
Especially when you're chewing gum!
Just read along as you chew,
When the flavor is gone, your reading is through!

Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p.62
If our children and grandchildren are taught and heed these same truths, will they fall away? We best instruct them in the Book of Mormon at our dinner table, by our firesides, at their bedsides, and in our letters and phone calls-in all of our goings and comings. Some spiritually alert parents hold early-morning devotionals with their families in their homes. They have a hymn, prayer, and then read and discuss the Book of Mormon. "The elders, priests and teachers of this church shall teach the principles of my gospel, which are in the Book of Mormon," says the Lord (D&C 42:12). (CR October 1984, Ensign 14 [November 1984]: 7.)
