JUST A REMINDER

Hi everyone,
Hope that all of you who went to the dance at Liverpool on Friday had a great time! 
Just a reminder about our activity on Friday which will be a separate one from the Young Men.  We will be introducing our theme for this year:-

"Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations."  (D&C 115:5)

ALSO  we are soooo excited to welcome Sisters Betsy Snider and Stacey Liptrott who are are our YW
Camp Leader and Assistant.  We are looking forward to working with them and know that they have got fantastic ideas for camp and also for our activity on Friday.
Our next Stake Youth dance is on 2nd March and the theme is NEON so we would love to see you dressed in neon colours or wear a wristband or socks or something in neon colours - go on WE DARE YOU!!!

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL YOU WONDERFUL YOUNG WOMEN!

Well, we hope that you enjoyed the New Years Eve Eve Dance on the 30th December.  Paul Sleem was great as usual and we also heard from Fred Diamonds band the Newtons.  It was so great to see so many of you there enjoying yourselves and also mixing with non-member friends and those who had travelled from the other stakes. We had more than 100 youth in attendance, which was really good considering that the weather that day was so bad and also the fact that there had been some really bad traffic jams. Thanks to all who helped to set up and clear up and man the car parks.
We, as a Stake Young Womens Presidency are really excited about this New Year and are looking forward to the many activities that are being planned.  We are planning a Young Womens camp in April and there will also be a Youth Conference to look forward to in the summer, plus many other things. 
We hope that you will continue with your Personal Progress, just as we are, and that we can share our experiences together.
Don't forget the fireside on Sunday (8th January) at 7.30pm, we look forward to meeting with you.  Please bring along your scriptures, notebook and pen/pencil.  We are going to be hearing from members of our Stake Presidency. We want you to know that we love you all and want to get to know you better.

YOUNG WOMEN IN EXCELLENCE

Two weeks ago Young Women in Excellence was held at the Manchester Stake Centre, it was wonderful to see so many of you there, along with your parents and leaders.  We also had the oportunity to welcome President Gregson, who had recently been called onto the newly reorganized Stake Presidency and later was to address us.  The evening evening was conducted by our Stake Young Womens President, Sister Emma Kerr who welcomed all to the evening.  There was a wonderful spirit in attendance especially as the assigned young women from each ward stood and bore their testimonies about Personal Progress and the way in which they each had gained their testimonies. Many mentioned how Personal Progress had been a challenge to them or perhaps had not been as important as it should been but once it had been embraced the difference had been amazing and their hearts were touched and testimonies of this great program were born.  Some of you actually liked doing Personal Progress!! and that was evident in the ribbons gained and recognition given.  Bethany Lithgoe from the Swinton played a musical item on her flute and you were all treated? to a musical item from your Stake Young Womens Presidency.  After the meeting concluded we socialised in the Relief Society room with cupcakes in value colours, and other goodies.   Feedback was very positive and we loved being there with you all and sharing your wonderul spirit. We are grateful for the support of parents and leaders. 
Just a reminder about our 'event' on Friday 16th December and Seminary activity prior to this.  Look forward to seeing you all there! 

AT LONG LAST!

Finally I have managed to get onto this site to update our blog. 

WOW, what an amazing evening was had by all at the Dance/Art Festival last weekend - Manchester Stake Youth at their best.  You are all so talented!  It was great to see so many people supporting this event and to see the enjoyment that was shared by everyone of all ages.  Thanks to our Stake Youth leaders, ward leaders, judges, compere  and all those that helped with costumes, dance routines, make up, music etc; you helped to make it all come together.  The art pieces were fantastic, well done to all you young women who took part.
Just a reminder that Sunday 20th November is Stake Conference and you are providing a musical item.  Could you please strive to arrive at the Stake Centre by 9am to practice for this.
