Words of Councel from President Rolayne Hanson

President Hanson has asked the Primary leaders and Presidencies consider the following directions as they serve in their wards:

• Your input is INVALUABLE in your ward councils
• Presidencies, try to sit in front of the Primary Room as a presidency during Primary meeting.  The First Presidency models this during conferences.  We should follow their example.  We believe you will see blessings in reverence as you follow this council.
• Pray for people who have no one else to pray for them this month and especially this Christmas season.

December Presidency Message

Brothers and Sisters,

Thank you so much for the service you give to the young Primary children and families of this stake.  In the Handbook we are taught the importance of Councils.  Section 4 specifically deals with Ward Councils.  President Rolayne Hanson said, "You are such a great voice in our ward councils."  You ARE the voice for all the Primary Children in your ward.  Thank you for speaking up for the children and representing their needs in your councils.  The purposes of these councils are to "help individuals build testimonies, receive saving ordinances, keep covenants, and become consecrated followers of Jesus Christ."  What a great way to represent the young people as you represent them and their needs in your ward councils.

We wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas as we all consider the great gift of our Savior this Christmas season.  May the joy of this great holiday fill your homes and your hearts.  May the Lord bless you with the needs you have, based on your faithful service to Him.

Merry Christmas with much love and thankfulness,

Stake Primary Presidency:
Rolayne Hanson, President
Cammie Briggs, 1st Counselor
Shemayne Pitts, 2nd Counselor
Jodi Brandis, Secretary
