Have the Young Women prepare a dinner or a treat for all the young men in their ward who go to the Priesthood session of Conference. Give each man a treat with "Thanks for Honoring Your Priesthood" on it. (Idea by  Alison Maynes)

Heather D. White shares her handout idea (click here for picture) - I picked up packs of EXTRA gum and make SWEET rolls. The quote said, "Strive each day to make an EXTRA effort to be worthy of the SWEET blessings of the Priesthood." They turned out really cute and the sweet rolls were delish.

"The blessings of the Priesthood are immeasurable" (attach to a small ruler or tape measurer)
Then for a handout I found rolls of Breath Savers for 7/$1 and I'm covering the label with a paper that says "Heavenly Father gave us the Priesthood to bless our lives. What has it MINT to you?" (Idea by Jennifer Madsen)



A few weeks ago I chaperoned the "no prom prom" and we had such a blast! I took my digital camera with me, which has video capabilities. Throughout the course of the night, I interviewed every young man there and recorded their answer to one very important question: "How can the young women help support you in holding the priesthood?" I was very proud of their answers! Some got really into it, others just a few words for their answer. But they were good answers, some of which I had never really thought about! So now I am trying to get the video clips from my computer onto a DVD.  You can always take this idea for another lesson - just change the question. I think it will really help the YW to hear it coming from the YM! (Idea by Corinne Natali / ga03092007)
I plan to have pictures of different blessings of the Priesthood I have experienced in my life....when my family was sealed when I was 7, my baptism, my wedding (eternal marriage), the day I took out my endowment, the day my baby was born (eternal family) also one of my husband injured when he truly gained the testimony of a blessing of healing. (Idea by Erica in Louisiana)
I'm going to gather 14 rocks, and on each rock write one of the blessings we receive through the Priesthood (the list found in the manual). Place the rocks on a piece of long, brown paper with a line down the middle to represent a road. During the lesson pick up each rock and talk about the blessing written on the rock and how experiencing each one of these blessings in our lives removes one of the rocks on our road to eternal life. As a handout the tag will say "Don't travel a Rocky Road! Make it smooth by benefiting from Priesthood Blessings!"....attach the tag to a Rocky Road candy bar. (Idea by Emily Kayner)

Hold up an open umbrella.  Have the girls squish in tight so everyone can fit under the umbrella.  Explain that the umbrella is like the priesthood and when a worthy man holds it, his whole family is protected by that special gift from Heavenly Father.



Young Women and the Blessings of the Priesthood - I love the analogy at the beginning about being in water....
