Worldwide Young Women Celebration in 2000

During the year 2000, young women and their leaders throughout the world are invited to participate in a celebration to renew their focus on the Savior. The celebration’s theme of “Stand As a Witness” is taken from Mosiah 18:9: “Stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places.” The theme hymn is “I Know That My Redeemer Lives” (Hymns, no. 136). The celebration will take place throughout the year, with a special event planned for November 2000.

Instructions for the celebration are being distributed to Young Women organizations in stakes and wards. Leaders are encouraged to integrate activities associated with this celebration into the existing Young Women program; introduce the theme “Stand As a Witness” at the New Beginnings program; sing hymns throughout the year that testify of the Savior’s life, mission, and Atonement; and develop a musical tribute to the life and mission of the Savior to be performed on or near 28 November 2000.
