MINI-LESSON:

  1. Attention Getter:
    • Have a set of "Dumbbell Weights" sitting on the table - it would be great to have two different sets if you can find some. Probably some 10 lb or 15 lb sets. Have young man and a young woman come up and ask them to lift them. Have them do some bicep curls,have them do as many as they can and then have them stop. Ask them if they did this every day if they think that they would get stronger. Sure they would! Make the point that their muscles would grow and get bigger and they would they would also become stronger. We have a wonderful new guideline for us. Hold up the new "For the Strength of Youth" booklet. If we live these Standards that are in here each day we will become stronger and the "heavy" things in life will become easier to handle.
  2. Have the youth take turns reading the Title of the Standards. For example... Agency and Accountability, Gratitude, Education........
  3. Read the message from the first Presidency on page 2.

SCRIPTURE STICKER ACTIVITY:

Tonight we are going to mark the scriptures that go along with these Standards in your scriptures. So now every time you are reading your scriptures and you come across one you will be reminded of your "For the Strength of Youth Standards"

Tell them the scripture references one at a time. Have them all look it up and ask someone to read it. Have them mark the scripture and put the sticker in their scriptures.

CONCLUSION:

Read "Go Forward with Faith" found on page 40 of the "For the Strength of Youth" book.

CLOSING PRAYER

REFRESHMENTS:

This will probably be what the young men have been waiting for. You could make something really yummy for them with a "Strong" smell if you want and have it baking while they do the activity or just buy something "strong" smelling. Be sure and emphasize the "strong" smell.
