New Beginnings program

I was recently called to serve in my church‘s Young Women presidency, which means I get to work with the female youth, ages 12-18… lots of babysitters to choose from, right? 😉

 Each January we introduce the new year’s theme/goals and welcome the girls that are entering into YW.  Since this year’s theme is Arise and Shine Forth, we decided on sunshine decor for the program:

See? 

There’s ME! 
Eek! My 1st time welcoming a large group, but l u c k i l y, everything went smoothly.  Phew! 

     
Here’s a peek at our sunshine ray program outline that we coordinated with the invites:

Feel free to download the sunshine rays HERE 🙂
Of course there were sweets:

We also had a twist of sunflowers throughout the night since our YW President compared sunflowers to shining bright.  She likened sunflowers’ habits of following the sun to the girls, they have that ability to always follow God and choose to shine.  So these sunflower cupcakes from Sam’s Club were perfect, our president’s daughter glittered them as well…so cute.

And what night would be complete without goodie bags to take home?
