Holy Ghost

The theme for June will be: The Holy Ghost Testifies of the Truth of All Things.
We would like as many children, parents, and teachers as possible to memorize the scripture Moroni 10:5. "By the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."

Rainbows

Sharing Time today was based on this Song:

I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain
And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away
And I can be forgiven and improve myself each day
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

"When I am Baptized" Children's Song Book Page 103

We made rainbows in Primary using light and water and each child was given a rainbow nametag on which to write something they will do to "be the best I can!"

Repentance Sharing Time

At first glance, this looks like a nice little picture of a house. If you look closely you will see that there are a few things that are just slightly not right. If we move away from the Savior, even a little bit, we will lose the spirit and need to repent, even if it seems like something so small that no one will ever notice. The warmth and light we feel from the spirit will help us know when we are close to the Savior.

There are 20 things wrong with this picture. How many can you find? Answers will be posted tomorrow.

Faith

Sister Hackney also shared this touching story about President Monson.

We Are As The Army of Helaman

In our Primary, we really ARE as the Army of Helaman. Check out the amazing poster Michelle Brady made with 2,000 stripling warriors on it. You may recognize the faces on some of those brave warriors.

Julia Lynch was the first name drawn. She brought a favorite book and CD, her jump rope, and a picture of the temple she keeps by her bed.
We look forward to learning about Bethany Rice next week.
