Notify YOUR Cubs and their families to put this GREAT activity on their calendars!


May & June Presidency Message

Summer is coming, school will be out soon, and many families will be traveling.  During these busy summer months it is often hard to keep track of the youth in our primaries.  However, keeping in contact in today's world of modern technology is not impossible.  Email, blogs, websites, texting, phone calls, and even old fashion "snail-mail" are just a few great ways for teachers and presidencies to keep in contact with missing children.  Sending a little note saying "we missed you" is a great way to let children know you love them and are thinking of them.  By sending a short note with the week's lesson message helps children remember that Heavenly Father and Jesus love them and care for them also.

We hope you also know how much we love and appreciate all you do in your callings.  We pray for your success and happiness regularly in both your callings and in your homes.  We also testify that Heavenly Father and Jesus also love you and are pleased with your service toward His children.

Finally, we would ask all to pray for President Monson with the passing of his dear wife Francis.  Though we pray for him on a regular basis, we can ask Heavenly Father to bless him with peace and comfort.  To read a tribute to Sister Monson go to Frances B. Monson: A Gift and Blessing.

April Presidency Message






General Conference is upon us.  Don't miss this great opportunity to listen to the prophets voice!  We have all heard the story of the woman sharing with a non-member friend her experiences of General Conference.  When the friend asked the woman what the prophet had said, the woman was at a loss.  Don't let that happen to you.  Listen to the prophet, find the special message for you through the Holy Ghost, and share your testimony of what the prophet said in your primary.

Elder Holland has promised us that, “If we teach by the Spirit and you listen by the Spirit, some one of us will touch on your circumstance, sending a personal prophetic epistle just to you."

We testify that if you prepare to listen to conference, and listen with an open hear, the Lord will bless you with knowledge.  Thank you for sharing your testimony and knowledge with the children of our Stake.  We pray for you daily and ask the Lord's blessings to be with you, your families, and the children of your wards.

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.
