Primary Corner  

Posted by California Banry's in

Today was my first official Sunday as Primary president of our ward. Wow. I'm really excited. I was in Primary just a couple of years ago as a counselor. I have a wonderful presidency: Allison Bayles, Liz Fusano, Mayreen Burk and Marla Anderson. Each of them have something special to bring to Primary. I love each of them already and am thrilled to be working them and getting to know them better. We had fun today. Primary is a wonderful place to be. For those not familiar with Primary, it is the childrens organization in our church. It is for all the kids ages 18 months up to 11. We have about 160 kids on our rolls and they pretty much all come. We meet for 2 hours and the kids are split up in age groups. They are in class for one hour and then Sharing Time (where we sing, have a little lesson and give talks and welcomes, birthdays, etc.) Today in sharing time we learned about serving others. We learned from Matthew 25:40 that when we serve others, we are really serving our Heavenly Father. We learned that when we serve, we have a good feeling inside that is the Holy Ghost confirming that what we are doing is a good thing.
I'm hoping to update the "Primary Corner" each Sunday. Maybe one of these days, I'll learn how to add pictures and links like all my Blog Savvy friends. Wouldn't that be fun!

Congratulations on your new calling! Have you had your program yet, or is that the first big thing you get to tackle?

I'm so excited for you, Allison. You'll do such a great job. I am happy to hand over ALL the resposibility of the calling to you, although I will really miss the cute primary kids. I'll have to ditch relief society occasionally to visit primary!

We were called as a new presidency the day of the program. Isn't that great. I was out of town actually. Then with General Conference and we have Stake Conference this Sunday, it's a great time for a change. We're gonna make our 1st big thing a Christmas party!

Oh Alli, we both know who really ran the show four years ago! You are the best!
