FAMILIES ARE FOREVER
2014 SACRAMENT MEETING PROGRAM
(children walk up humming Families Can Be Together Forever)
SONG: Families Can Be Together Forever (Chorus Only)
This year as a primary, we studied the scriptures and learned about eternal families. As we have studied Heavenly Father’s plan we have learned that families are central in the Plan of Salvation. We have learned about our roles as children and parents and have even come to understand more about Jesus’ role in Heavenly Father’s plan. As we have come to understand these roles better, we are able to understand the importance of our individual place in our families, our church, our community and the world we live in.
As we have prepared for the Primary Program this year, each child has been given a topic to express their feelings about the eternal nature of their families. They will share personal experiences that are important to them in expressing their understanding of eternal families. During my time in primary I have been reminded weekly that kids say the darn-dest things. We invite you to ponder the things they will say today, know that as you do, you will be reminded of why Jesus said, “…Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” – Matt 18:3
