Ryan Maag arranged a touching version of “I Am a Child of God” with additional words titled “I Have a Savior.” I fell in love with it the first time I heard it a few years ago. You can hear a sample of the recording Mindy Gledhill did of it on his webs…

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:
