Dallas Ward Young Women are loving The Book of Mormon

The Dallas Ward Young Women have really enjoyed the Book of Mormon reading challenge!

They've decorated their books with cute covers- check it out!

  
We'd love to have the rest of the stake share what they have been doing in their wards to make the Book of Mormon Reading Challenge fun!

Book of Mormon Challenge for May 2013

MAY: Peace to our souls

Alma 37:36 Cry unto the Lord for all thy support

2 Nephi 10: 23-25: Cheer up your hearts

Alma 7: 27 May the peace of God rest upon you

Book of Mormon Kick Off

In the next few weeks Sister Harmon, Sister Abbot Fuller and Sister Walsh will be visiting each ward/branch in the Cartersville Stake to meet the Young Women and share our excitement about girls camp this year.

Part of our visit will include a challenge to the young women and their leaders to read the Book Of Mormon as we prepare for camp (and Trek).  We want the girls to see how doing something as small and simple as reading for a few minutes each day from the pages of the Book of Mormon will have a great impact on their lives!

Challenge: Read selected scriptures from the Book of Mormon each month...or read the whole thing if you want!

Here are some things to help you out:
