My Friendship Lesson

The  link that was previously posted no longer works, and since Blogger can't accept PDF Documents, I am going to have to convert my Friendship lesson files into JPEGS and add each page separately.  Oh well,  at least all of you will have access to the lesson and the dropbox links won't expire. 

This is the  friendship lesson that I have spoken about in a prior post.  I have had so many requests for it, I decided to quit sending it individually and now I have posted it on dropbox.   I hope it helps you with your Young Women.

I find it interesting about all Young women, and mind you, I was once one of them.  They need this kind of a lesson and need it during the YW years.  Young Men probably would never have need for this kind of a lesson, but girls... yes they do.  It was a very well received lesson and I think it should be taught every year or at least each year new girls move in, or are old enough for the Young Women program.

Enjoy, and let me know how your lesson went, in the comments section of this post or the one with all the rest of the info on the lesson. (See the lesson pages) ( by the way, I had previously posted about my friendship lesson and the visuals are on another post.  You will just have to scroll down a few, to find the visuals that it is talking about.)   Katie G

Young Women lesson on Friends/Friendship

Here is the link to this lesson, and I hope it works for you!https://dl.dropbox.com/u/57771560/Katie%27s%20Friendship%20lesson/The%20key%20to%20friendshisp%20%20is%20to%20try%20to%20be%20like%20Jesus.docx

I have finally finnished what I think ended up being a great lesson on Friends. Our ward is going through the topics of the For the Strength of Youth booklet, and it is my turn to teach. I do have a great lesson but I have no idea how to turn it into a format compatible to put on this post.

The lesson is actually being called... the Key to Friendship. I will attach my printables and images I will be using.

The lesson in a nutshell is that the Key to Friendship is to be as Jesus Christ. We will focus on the song "I'm trying to be Like Jesus" sung by the MoTab choir and there is a beautiful slide presentation that I found with lots of different images of Jesus during his birth and ministry. I am selecting a few stories about Jesus that demonstrate friendship such as the Paralytic who was lowered through the roof, to get to Jesus, by his friends.... The story of the woman caught in sin and Jesus not judging her, and the story of Jesus walking on water, and lifting up Peter, his friend and disciple when his faith had faultered, and so forth. I believe it turned out great.

I have a bronze jewelry tree, that I have hanging on the branches, antique skeleton looking keys tied on a ribbon. Attached to the key is also a tag with the image of Jesus, and the backside of the tag has the words printed at an angle "I am trying to be like Jesus", looking like a watermark. (I have included this tag) That will be the handout along with a printable that I also created and will include on this post. Feel free to use them in your lessons as well. Enjoy! Katie G.
