Dear Sisters,
We are excited about our new opportunity to serve in Primary. We are especially honoured to be serving your children and look forward to sharing our testimonies and love of our Heavenly Father, Saviour and Gospel with them.
As this Sunday is Mother’s Day, the Primary children are singinghave been asked to provide the prelude music for our sacrament meeting- to do this, could we please ask you to bring the children to the Primary room at 12.40pm so that we can have a quick practise before performing in the chapel.
We are introducing a new Sunday schedule as attached. If your child is given an assignment, it will be shared with Primary during the first part of their age group’s sharing time slot. We welcome you to come into Primary to share this experience with your child. The new Primary room is opposite the Bishops office.
Our Stake Primary leaders have counselled with us and shared their concern for the safety of our children.
They are particularly concerned that our Junior Primary children (that is Nursery, Sunbeam and CTR class children) are adequately supervised immediately at the conclusion of the three hour block. We would appreciate your support to ensure the safety of our children by collecting your child from their primary class in a timely fashion. We appreciate that on occasion this may mean you will need to be reverently excused from your classes towards end in order to get to the appropriate Primary class in time to collect them. We appreciate your help as we endeavour to ensure the safety of our children and as we follow the counsel of our stake leaders.
As a new Primary presidency we are super keen to get to know your children. Please let us know of anything that might help us better know your child and to ensure they have an enjoyable Primary experience. We have different areas of responsibility in Primary as detailed below, but please feel free to make contact with whoever you feel comfortable sharing with.
We too feel as President Monson feels that "It is our solemn duty, our precious privilege—even our sacred opportunity—to welcome to our homes and to our hearts the children who grace our lives." , "Precious Children, a Gift from God," Ensign, June 2000, 2. We are grateful for the privilege to have your children in our lives and are humbled by this sacred opportunity.
With love from
The Primary Presidency
