"Our Father in Heaven has given priesthood and Primary leaders the sacred responsibility to help parents teach children the gospel of Jesus Christ and to prepare boys to receive the Aaronic Priesthood and girls to become righteous young women. Through Sunday meetings and weekday activities, the Primary auxiliary helps children learn and live gospel principles; remember and keep their baptismal covenants;
and build strong, enduring testimonies". lds.org
What do we do for sharing time for the fifth Sunday of the month?
"When there is a fifth Sunday, use this time to review previous lessons" (2010 Outline for Sharing Time, inside front cover).
Do we still do class presentations during sharing time?
Starting January 2010, there will be no class presentations. However, "occasionally you [the Primary presidency] may invite teachers and their classes to help you with parts of the gospel instruction" (2010 Outline for Sharing Time, inside front cover).
How should we divide up sharing time and singing time?
Fifteen minutes should be for gospel teaching and twenty minutes for teaching music (see 2010 Outline for Sharing Time, 1).
Can we use pictures in the sacrament meeting presentation?
"Visuals, costumes, and media presentations are not appropriate for sacrament meeting" (2010 Outline for Sharing Time, 1).
Have class names been changed?
The Primary class names have been aligned with the ages of the children on January 1. For example, the CTR 4 class is for children age four on January 1, the Valiant 8 class is for children age eight on January 1, and so forth (see 2010 Outline for Sharing Time, 1).
Will sharing time ideas still be in the Friend magazine?
Starting with the January 2010 issue of the Friend magazine, the sharing time ideas for leaders will no longer be included. These ideas are incorporated into the outline for sharing time. The sharing time for children will still be in the magazine.
