New 2025 Youth Theme: "Look Unto Christ" Free Printables

 With the announcement of the 2025 youth theme for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I'm thrilled to share free printable resources for inspiration and organization! The theme for this year is "Look Unto Christ" based off the scripture in the Doctrine and Covenants 6:36 which says "Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."

In our journey as youth and leaders, this theme is an invitation to fill our minds and hearts with thoughts of the Savior. 

As you know, I love to share free resources and they are usually because I am creating them anyway in my own current calling. I'm currently the Secretary in the Young Women's Presidency and so my focus is on these new printables for binders. I've created a modern, minimalist design with a silhouette of Christ as the focus of the printables and art.

Included in the Free Printables:

1. Coordinating Bookmarks: print these out and give to the youth to use in their scriptures, journals, or any book, serving as a gentle reminder to "look unto Christ" in every thought. 

2. Binder Covers for Young Women Presidency: These covers are available for the President, 1st Counselor, 2nd Counselor, Secretary, and Adviser. Print out on white cardstock (8.5x11) and simply update the binder covers to include the new theme.

3. Theme Art Poster: this printable poster is available in size 18x24 and can be printed same-day at most printable shops like Staples, Walgreens, etc. These are great to display in Young Women meeting rooms at church and are also great for the youth to display in their bedrooms as room decor.

4. Printable Art: available in 8x10 and 5x7 to be used anywhere. Gift idea -- find some inexpensive frames at the dollar store and print these out for a budget-friendly gift to the young women to announce the new theme.

DIY "My General Conference" Notebooks

Each conference I get inspired to create new printables and this latest design is a simple way to customize your own general conference notebooks! I love taking notes on what inspires me and what thoughts come to my mind as I listen to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints General Conference.  These mini books come dated with the new October 2024 date and I will be updating them each conference if you want to build a collection. Also available without dates, too!

You can use it as a General Conference bullet journal or/and customize it to record your favorite moments. Print as many pages as you'd like -- great for older primary children, youth, and adults.

Putting these together would be a fun youth activity as well!

General Conference Coloring Poster

Each year when General Conference comes around I like to create something new for Latterday Lane. I feel like my children (and myself) focus on the speakers better when they have something to do with their hands. Coloring doesn't distract you too much and it's relaxing and fun!

This free printable coloring poster is so much fun for a large get-together or for your small family. We leave them out for a couple of days and they are a hit for all ages!

Don't want a poster size? Print out the 8.5x11 version. Super simple!

Scripture Coloring Page: Alma 37:6

 This newest scripture coloring page set is inspired by this week's Come Follow Me lesson. In this powerful scripture taught by Alma reminds us that even the smallest actions can lead to great outcomes. It's a beautiful message of hope and encouragement.

This fun design includes cute animals surrounding the scripture making it engaging for children and adults! The animals can help spark discussions about God's creations and how even the smallest creatures play a part in His grand design. 

Also, included...animals only coloring page!

Great for Come Follow Me lessons, sacrament meeting reverence, and personal study.

We'd love to see your finished coloring pages! Share your creations on social media tagging @latterdaylane.

Thank you for being part of the Latter Day Lane community. Keep an eye out for more Come Follow Me scripture coloring pages to support your faith and family.

LDS Girl's Camp Coloring Pages

 

Hello friends!

As we embrace the 2024 youth theme "I Am A Disciple of Christ,"  I'm excited to share these girl's camp coloring page downloads with you all! I've created 4 different designs (the two theme versions could be used all year long!).

Theme Coloring Page: this coloring page captures the essence of the 2024 theme. It's also a wonderful activity for youth nights, personal scripture study, or anytime you need a creative break.

Theme Coloring Bookmarks: the second design is an inspiring bookmark! It's great to use in your scriptures or an everyday bookmark for your current read. There are 4 bookmarks per page -- you can even use the laminator if you have electricity available!

Girl's Camp Coloring Page: to add more fun to this collection of downloads, I've created a coloring page with all things camp! Use for a camp prep activity or have available for the girls during creative or reflection time at Girl's Camp!

Happy Camper Coloring Page: this camping page is fun for all summer camping events, all ages, all groups, etc.!

You can download all of these fun coloring pages using the individual links below!
