Project Ideas
for Divine Nature
- Read 3 Nephi. Record your feeling, write an essay or talk on the love Jesus Christ has for us.
- Study one of Christ's parables. Using that parable as a spring board write a talk. Express your thoughts and testimony of how the parable can be of use in your life.
- Write a short story or poem on being a daughter of God. Make an "I Am A Child of God" cross stitch sample, etc. to hang in your room.
- Search the scriptures and choose 10 - 20 of your favorites on "prayer". Creatively display them on a poster or express through song, poem, short story or essay how prayer has affected your life. You could paint a prayer rock to match your room. (Paint a rock -- approximately 3-5 inches in size. Slip it under your pillow to remind you to pray before going to sleep.)
- Invite an inactive or non-member to several Church Activities, i.e. sacrament meeting, youth or ward activities, or a special class activity. Give of yourself -- stretch -- help her grow and improve her self-esteem, really befriend her. Give her a Book of Mormon or a special church book that you like with your written testimony or expression of love and friendship. Keep a running record of your feelings (without revealing her name) of your reactions, how you grew, what it meant to her, etc.
- Adopt a grandparent at one of the local nursing homes. Visit them each week for 6-8 weeks. Read to them, play games, visit about their families or their youth. Display pictures and record activities and your feelings about your experience. Remember older people are also children of God!
- Read the short story "The Award" (New Era, Nov. 1979). Discuss your feelings in an essay. Why did Colleen do what she did? How would you have handled the situation? Have you ever been in her shoes? Tell how the short story helps you want to be a better person.
