Guelph Ward
The Relief Society sisters of the Guelph Ward, Kitchener Ontario Stake, worked together to make an “I Am a Child of God” pillowcase for every child in their Primary. The children were excited to receive them, and enjoy using them at bedtime.
Phoenix Branch
Primary children from the Phoenix Branch, Durban South Africa Stake, participated in a stake activity where the children wore modest clothing and participated in a fashion show. They learned about being reverent and dressing modestly for when they go to the temple someday.
San Diego Sixth Ward
The Primary children in the San Diego Sixth Ward, San Diego California Stake, learned about temples at an activity. They saw pictures of temples and learned why it is important to have temples today. They also learned what they can do to have an eternal family.
Jacksonville Second Ward
The Friend was the theme of an activity for the children of the Jacksonville Second Ward, Wilmington North Carolina Stake. They made a Kitchen Krafts recipe, wrote how they are trying to be like Jesus, and played a Funstuf game. They also listened to President Eyring’s message in the Friend about nourishing the faith of others.
