We need pennies in our jar!

2009-02-24T11:03:00.000-08:00

In Primary this year, we are adding pennies to a jar for each time the kids bring their scriptures to church. The pennies will be used to purchase Book of Mormon's and send to children in need. Our penny jar is looking pretty skimpy so far and so a few extra ways for the kids to earn pennies for our jar has been added.
The children were told this week that each time they bring their Faith In God books on Wednesday nights, that will earn a penny for the jar. Another way to earn pennies for our jar is to bring their Scout books with them on Wednesday nights. So each boy could earn two extra pennies per week if they bring both of their books. Each girl - 2 pennies per month.
This will not only help us to add pennies to our jar, but it also helps your Den leaders, Scout leaders and Activity Day leaders out by having their books available to sign things off as needed!

Christmas Gifts

2008-12-18T10:52:00.000-08:00

by Sister J:
After church, as I was putting the nursery toys away, I saw S.P. walking down the hall. She had candy from the Bishop’s office in her hand as she greeted me with a huge smile. I hugged her and asked her if she was excited for Christmas. She said that she was and she was looking forward to getting presents. I agreed with her that it was fun to get presents at Christmas. As she followed me into the nursery classroom, she said, “S., Christmas is Jesus’ birthday and WE get the presents!” It took me a few minutes to fully comprehend what she said. I am thankful for the wisdom of a 5 year old. This Christmas I hope each and every one of you remember how blessed you are because Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ gave US all the presents. May your hearts truly rejoice during this wonderful holiday season.

Pillowcases

2008-12-15T15:47:00.000-08:00

Dear Parents of Primary Children –

For our January 10th Primary Activity, we plan to decorate pillowcases to go along with our new 2009 Primary Theme.
If you happen to have a cotton pillowcase that is light colored (or white) and you would be willing to let your child decorate it, we ask that you have them bring it to Primary before the end of the year. (We will be sure to label it with their name so they come home from the Primary Activity with their same pillowcase.)
If you don’t have a pillowcase like that, please don’t worry or go purchase one! We’ll definitely have one for each child at the activity.
Thank you,
The Primary Presidency

Sweet Sunbeams

2008-11-15T10:50:00.000-08:00

By Sister U.:

We talked about being reverent in Sunbeams last Sunday and my kids were priceless. I taught the kids in the class that if someone new at church doesn't know how to be reverent, the best thing we can do is show them our best example of being reverent. They were ANGELS today! I can't describe to you how amazingly reverent they were today. We went on a reverence walk through the church, and I sat them in the back pew of the chapel. I told them a story about being reverent, and they seemed to understand it perfectly. I taught them that they were showing Heavenly Father that they love him when they are reverent. They seemed to get that pretty well. So then we talked a little bit about how they know Heavenly Father loves them. Here are what some of the kids said,

Me: L., how do you know Heavenly Father loves you?

L.: "He helps me be good!"

Me: O., how do you know that Heavenly Father Loves you?

O.: My family told me. I believe them.

Me: C., how do you know Heavenly Father loves you?

C.: Because it's true.

Me: How do you know?

C.: I just do.

How simple is that faith! They're so beautiful. Thank you for letting me teach your children on Sundays. :) They really brighten up my week!
