“Through small and simple things Great Things are brought to pass” Alma 37:6

Dear Little Valley Ward Members,
We are so excited about a new scheduling change that will take place in our Primary this Sunday, October 30! With our Primary pushing 190, and only growing, we feel this change will be very beneficial.
Instead of the the traditional two block Primary and class time, we will have three blocks and are calling this our Tri-Primary schedule. This program is being used by other wards in the stake and has been approved by the 1st Presidency of the Church.
The three rotations are:
1. Singing Time… Primary Room (30 min)
2. Sharing Time … Font Room (30 min)
3. Class Time…. Classrooms (30 min)
There will be two 5-minute breaks between each rotation.
Our ward is just BIG! We feel the smaller numbers in each group will give the children more opportunities to participate during sharing and singing time, as well as increase reverence. This change will also provide the Sunday School with additional rooms.
We appreciate all you do in supporting the Primary.
Love,
The Little Valley Primary Presidency

Next Week: Chapter 8-Taking the Gospel to the World

Teacher: Wendy Bliss

Dear Sisters of the Little Valley Ward,

We love you and are so thankful for all of the countless hours of service you provide to those in need. In two weeks, April 17th, we will be holding a special meeting for all of you during the Relief Society hour of church. Because we would like everyone to be able to participate, the priesthood has agreed to cover all other classes during this hour. This means, regardless of your typical weekly church responsibilities, you will be able to attend Relief Society during the third hour of church. We are excited to be able to have all of the sisters together during this hour and look forward to seeing you there. A light breakfast will be served. So, put it on your calendars, April 17th (2 Sundays from now), the third hour of church, in the Relief Society room.

Please also mark April 22nd and 23rd on your calendars. The Relief Society and Laurels will be having an overnight cabin retreat. We hope all will come and develop stronger friendships. 

Love,

The Little Valley Relief Society Presidency
