Welcome to our newest members of Primary!
We are so happy to have Emerson Bush and Daxtyn and Gentri Neilsen join our ward.
We are planning a big primary service project on April 30th from 6-7pm in the primary room. We will be tying blankets to donate to the Sheriff's Office for officers to use on calls with children who may need some extra comfort during a stressful time. We will be accepting donations of fleece or donations of these blankets from Walmart if you'd like to buy some: https://www.walmart.com/ip/MS-FLEECE-THROW-PLD/6709405098

Monetary donations will also be accepted. Please give any donations and direct questions to any member of the primary presidency. (See our contact info below!)
The Church has made a few changes to the Primary Handbook that we wanted to share with you. The CTR 7 class has been renamed Valiant 7 so that all classes in senior primary are valiant classes. Along with that change, Activity Days has been renamed Valiant Activities. So if you hear us using this lingo, this is why!
As Bishop mentioned, we want to make a few changes to how things are done in Primary to help ensure everyone's safety. We encourage all parents to take their young children to the bathroom before bringing them to primary. If older children need to go to the bathroom during primary, they should always take a buddy with them so no one goes alone.
Please work with your kids on passing off their Articles of Faith. They are getting prizes as they go. After they pass off four, they can choose a can of soda from the primary closet. After they pass off an additional four, they'll receive a special bookmark with leaves that came directly from the Sacred Grove. After they pass off the final five Articles of Faith, girls will receive a necklace and boys will receive a tie. They will get to choose what type of necklace/tie they want so it's very personalized to them. The youngest children can pass off Articles of Faith a line or two at a time over several weeks so it's not so daunting.
Please practice singing Gethsemane with your child! This is the song the children will be singing in Sacrament Meeting on Easter Sunday. Please note that church on Easter will only be one hour of Sacrament Meeting and no primary will be held. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/music/songs/gethsemane?crumbs=hymns-for-home-and-church&lang=eng
