Presidency & Music Leaders put April 28 on your calendar

Auxiliary Training

 

It is coming!  The Stake will host its Semi-annual Auxiliary Training on April 28, 2013 at the Stake Center.  Listen to our Stake Presidency deliver a message particularly for our stake at this time. 

Primary Presidencies and Music Leaders from each ward are asked to prepare a mini-presentation of what is working in your ward for singing and sharing time.  Each ward will be given ONLY 2-5 minutes for sharing.  We learn SO MUCH from each others successes.  Bring examples, handout, or whatever you have found helpful to share.

Thank you for all you do with our Primary Children in your wards.  We look forward to seeing you and sharing with you.

Shine Your Special Light

Put March 15, 6:00 pm on your calendar!

The Primary is hosting their annual evening of talent for the Ely Stake Primary Children.  Your Ward Primary Presidencies have the sign up sheets so start getting ready.  Children can sing, dance, read poetry, or preform a talent that Heavenly Father has given to them. 

Everyone receives a special treat who brings their flashlight.

March Presidency Message

I will take this month's message from the recent Stake Conference.  It consisted of WONDERFUL meetings!  President Fullmer, in his talk during the Adult Session on Saturday night, summed up the previous talks by giving us some counsel.  He said:

How wonderful it is to understand God's plan for us.  He HAS a plan for all of us and we willingly accepted that plan when we left His presence.  Remembering that fact will help us keep an eternal perspective.  He read from the hymn "I'll Go Where You Want Me to go, Dear Lord" and quoted 1 Nephi 3:7.  When we go to church it needs to be more than just "going" it needs to include going, saying, doing, and being.  Let's DO sacrament and DO our meetings, and DO Sunday School.  Living the gospel is not  a single event it is a process.  He invited us all to become part of that process to become what our Heavenly Father envisioned for us in the pre-existance. 

As Primary workers we can help the young children we work with also learn to go, say, do, and be what the Lord want's them to become.  Thank you for all you do as you help Father's children learn principles necessary to bring them back home to Him.  We love you.  We pray for you.  We continually ask the Lord to bless you for your service.
