LAUREL (LDS CHURCH)

(Redirected from Laurel (Mormonism))
A 'Laurel' is a 16-17 year old participant in the Young Women Organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The symbol of the Laurels is the spires of the temple, which are intended to remind participants of ordinances and covenants which lead to exaltation.^[1] The purpose statement of the Laurels is:

A Laurel becomes a Young Woman of Faith as she more fully experiences the Savior's love and prepares to receive the ordinances of the temple by living, teaching, and sharing the gospel.^[2]

In 1950, the name 'Junior Gleaners' was applied to the class; this was changed to Laurels in 1959.
