Pioneer Ward Primary

Our primary scripture for the month is 3 Nephi 5:13: Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life. If your child has memorized any of our bookmark/monthly scriptures for which they have not received their prize, let their teacher know and we will make sure to drop by with a small treat. The Primary General Presidency has asked that each family hold their own Primary Program due to their cancellation at the ward level.  You may want to sing some of the songs that we learned in the beginning of the year or those that we were going to learn together.  You might ask your children to share their testimonies or to share what they have learned from their study of the Book of Mormon this year.   Here is our Primary Playlist for the songs that were to be learned in our primary in 2020.  Or you might use the Sing-Along app from the church, which is a fa...

We hope you have had an enjoyable summer and that the upcoming school year is looking bright. The Pioneer Ward primary scripture for this month is Alma 53:20: And they were all young men, and they were exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; but behold, this was not all---they were men who were true at all times in whatsoever thing they were entrusted. We welcome the McLeskey family to our ward and our primary.  We look forward to getting to know Madison, Logan, and Parker. Congratulations to our newly baptized friends!  Derek, Pierce, and Georgia were baptized last month.  We are so pleased and excited for them. Do you have senior primary children?  Now would be a great time for them to refocus on the goals they set earlier this year and to make new ones.  As a reminder, each child should work toward a goal from each of the four categories: spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social.  If you need a refresher on the church's ...

We loved visiting with each of you last month; it was wonderful and made us miss being together weekly at church.  Sister Green will be sending out the video she is working on after we visit just a couple more of you.  O ur scripture this month is Alma 37:6: ... Behold I say unto you, that by small  and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise. We are happy to welcome two new children to our primary: Afton and Crew Matzke! July Birthdays 1: Sister Butler 2: E. Collette 3: K. Payne 6: J. Santiago 7: D. Walch 26: K.

Our scripture for the month of June is Alma 17:2-3: "...They were men of a sound understanding and they had searched the scriptures diligently, that they might know the word of God.  But this is not all; they had given themselves to much prayer, and fasting; therefore they had the spirit of prophecy, and the spirit of revelation, and when they taught, they taught with power and authority of God. Our song this month is We'll Bring the World His Truth.   Please add it to your playlist on the Sing-Along app. We will add the following songs to the YouTube playlist for you to enjoy with your family: We'll Bring the World His Truth The Tree of Life I Will Be What I Believe June birthdays: 1: Sister A. Payne 4: Georgia B. 15: Madelyn D. 16: Brooke P. 24: Cora A. We pray that you are happy and well.  We miss our time together so much.  Have an enjoyable summer!

Our scripture for this month seems especially important to remember as we all deal with the effects of Covid 19 and our separation.  It is Mosiah 23:15: "...Every man should love his neighbor as himself, that there should be no contention among them." The songs that we would appreciate being introduced in your home this month are: I Will be Valiant When We're Helping, We're Happy I am Like a Star I Know That My Savior Loves Me Please add these to your Sing-Along app playlist if you use that method.  I will add them to the youtube playlist in case you prefer that instead.  See previous blog posts if you have questions about these options. If any of your children have lost their bookmarks listing the monthly scriptures, or if you would like a parent copy, please call or text Elke Rushton to arrange a time to pick some up. Happy birthday this month to the following primary members: 4: Sister Green 11: Zach Newton 13: Olivia Small 18: Pierce Ru...

Our scripture of the month for April is 3 Nephi 11:7:  Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name - hear ye him.  As we focus on the First Vision and restoration of the Church during this General Conference and prepare for Easter next Sunday, we hope you will take the time to help your children memorize this scripture and learn to hear Him. We love your children and look forward to the time when we can meet with them again in Primary. Love, The Primary Presidency

Here is the latest from Pioneer Ward Primary. This month, we are learning the scripture 2 Nephi 31:20: Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.   We encourage all primary families to study this in their homes. Sign off their bookmark when your child learns it, and they will receive a small treat from the primary presidency. The new Children and Youth program asks that each child in senior primary set at least one goal in each of four areas (spiritual, social, physical, and intellectual) this year.  Please help your children to set and work on their goals. Our primary is learning some great songs this month. The following is our current list for 2020 with the most recent songs listed first: A Child’s Prayer Praise to the Ma...
