Idea for Young Women Leader Christmas Gift

I created these files to make some 6×6 inch display cards for a Christmas gift I made for the YW leaders I serve with. They have each of the young women values with the corresponding scripture and motto. I don’t suggest that you actually use the JPG versions of these files. They’re just here for reference, or you might cut them up and use them to make something that fits…

Keeping Christ in Christmas

We made up this skit for Super Saturday 2009 followed by a Christmas song. The skit reminds us in a humorous way of the things we can do to keep Christ in Christmas. A lot of people in our area are bilingual so the “mas”at the beginning of the play goes in Christmas. You can insert names of people in your ward to personalize it.

LDS Carolers’ Lyric Book

Yes, we LDS are a “peculiar people” — even the lyrics to our Christmas songs are different than those in other faiths’ hymnbooks! This booklet has the lyrics to all 14 hymns in the Christmas section of the the LDS hymnal and is intended for use by carolers.

Christmas Visitors

Christmas Visitors

I’m so excited about our plans for Primary next week. We are welcoming some special visitors for a combined Sharing Time and Singing Time. We will hear from wise men, the inn keeper, shepherds, angels and Mary as they share their experience surrounding the Savior’s birth. Each person will provide their own simple costume and share a 1 – 2 minute narrative of who they are, what they did and how they felt about their experience with the Savior’s birth. Some will sing songs and sometimes we will sing with them.

I think this has the potential to be a powerful experience for the kids especially if the visitors allow it to be a little personal and share their feelings. I’ve been amazed so far at how willing the adults are to participate!

We’ll have only one visitor (or group of visitors) at a time and the visitors will move in and out of the room during the transition songs the children sing.  Here’s my agenda: 


Wise Men –    

Children          See the Joy  CD
Inn Keeper –   
Children          Away in a Manger p. 42
Angels –        One angel explains and then a heavenly host joins to sing: Joy to the World  hymn #201  (children join in on chorus)
Children       Picture a Christmas  p. 50  
Shepherd –    The First Noel  hymn # 213  (Children join in on chorus)
Children          Stars Were Gleaming  p. 37
Mary –          Mary’s Lullaby  p. 44                   
Children          Could I Hold the Baby sheet music

Merry Christmas!
