2012 Mutual Theme

A notice dated August 1, 2011, announced the 2012 Mutual theme: “Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations” (Doctrine and Covenants 115:5).

Leaders are encouraged to use the theme as a focus of “special cultural events and other dance, music, and drama activities.” Leaders may also introduce the theme with a new DVD, Strength of Youth Media 2012: Arise and Shine Forth, which will be sent to units in November 2011. Additional resource material in support of the theme will be available in the New Era and Liahona magazines and on LDS.org at the beginning of 2012.



Lesson Resource Available Online

Leaders can now access the contents of the Young Women resource guide as they review each upcoming lesson. For example, notice how the resource guide's discussion questions, quotes, videos, and links appear along the right side of each lesson from Manual 3.
