Happy New Year! 2010 Primary Changes

Happy New Year from the Allatoona Primary Presidency! We are excited to begin a new year in Primary with our new theme: I Know My Savior Lives

There are some slight changes this year and we hope to make the transition easy for everyone. Please note the new schedule below.

Also make note that due to worldwide changes in church policy and procedures your child will now be in the class according to what age they are on January 1st.

Primary Activity - Family Drive-In

We wanted to post a reminder of the Primary Activity this Friday, December 11th at the ward building, 6:30 p.m. in the gym. Bring your blankets, pillows, and hand made cars* (optional) and join us for the Drive-In Movie. We will be showing the movie: How the Grinch Stole Christmas (animated version) on the projector screen and providing popcorn to snack on. Please try to get there on time so that you can choose a "parking spot" and be ready at Showtime.

** If you ask the produce department at the grocery store, apple or pineapple boxes make fun cars. Extra box-cars may be available at the activity. Cars are not needed—just do one if you would enjoy it!

An extra thanks to the Cub Scouts for assisting with this activity.

PRIMARY REMINDER

The Cubs Scouts and Girl's Activities will be meeting this week on Thursday December 3rd at the Allatoona ward building at 7PM.

My Family is Blessed When We Remember Jesus Christ

This month the theme in Primary is

"My family is blessed when we remember Jesus Christ"

The children will be learning ways that they can remember to think about Jesus. We will be encouraging them to remember Jesus both at church and at home. We want the children to understand the importance of the Christmas story this holiday season. They will learn that Jesus was born into a family just like them and that when we partake of the sacrament we are making a promise to always remember him. We will also be learning how we can become more like Jesus and prepare for the Second Coming.

Please refer to the side column for the talks and scriptures assigned this month. If your child is not going to be able to participate on the assigned day, please contact a member of the Presidency.
