Easter

Easter is coming in less than 2 weeks!

This is an ideal time to help young women focus on the Savior.

What Easter resources are available?

Take a look at the LDS Media Talk blog post "Preparing for Easter." The author did a wonderful job assembling a list of resources.

I'll embed the videos here for you:

His Sacred Name - An Easter Declaration - new Mormon Message on Easter



You can find all the scriptures from this video in Church News and Events.

He Lives: Testimonies of Jesus Christ - last year's Easter video



An Apostle's Easter Thoughts on Christ, by Elder Jeffery Rr Holland



A few more things:

I can't think of anything better than "The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles" - perhaps you could challenge young women to read it, or better yet, encourage them to start their Personal Progress Faith value project. One possibility is to memorize "The Living Christ."

April 2011 1st Presidency Message by President Thomas S. Monson - "He is not here, but is risen" 

Special Witnesses of Christ - testimonies from each member of the First Presidency (text)

President Monson's April 2010 General Conference address - "He is Risen"

Classic talk by Bruce R. McConkie from the April 2011 Ensign - "The Purifying Power of Gethsemene"

My favorite story for understanding the atonement is "The Mediator Jesus Christ" by Boyd K. Packer, shared in the April 2011 New Era. There is a video of this story called "The Mediator" available on the DVD "Book of Mormon Video Presentations" (53911). This video is not on any official LDS sites but it is on YouTube in poor quality and I'll embed it (slightly guiltily) here:
