Primary Leadership

Reaching The One

The Stake Primary Presidency is counseling Ward Primary Presidencies to check the rolls regularly. 1. Look for patterns in attendance. 2. Find children not attending regularly 3. With your Presidency, prayerfully plan and carry out ways to encourage children, who are not attending regularly, to come. 4. Send less active children a postcard. 5. Invite less-actives to Primary on Sunday and quarterly Activity Days. Activity days are perfect opportunities to involve children in wholesome fun to interact with other children. Particular attention should be given to inviting less-active and nonmember children. (The Church Handbook of Instructions. Book 2. Section 5, page 237.) Because the children depend on their parents for coming to church, support and strengthen parents. Find ways to interact with the childrens parents-- work together, share insights and concerns, and share what the children are learning in Primary Reach out with love. (Sister Patricia P. Pinegar, General Primary President)

Particular attention should be given to inviting less-active and nonmember children.

Postcards
Ive designed postcards that youre welcome to use for Primary. Theyre available at: http://www.jollyjenn.com/Postcards.html Print them on cardstock and cut the page in quarters (along the line). They can be mailed at the postcard rate.

Other ideas to encourage attendance in Primary

Call the children and tell them they were missed. Encourage the Primary Teachers to call the children who did not attend Primary. Remember, sheep will only follow the voice of a shepherd that they know. You might also consider personally delivering notes to encourage attendance. (See examples on the next page.) Visiting children at their homes gives you the opportunity to see and speak to the childs parents. Give service to the child.

Each name on your roll belongs to one of Heavenly Father s children.

!

Help them find their way back home.

When less-active children attend Primary

Welcome them (perhaps sing a welcome song). Let them know how happy you are to see them. Invite them to participate. Invite them to return. Find their parents. Tell the parents how happy you are to see them at church. Tell them something positive their child did. Tell them what the children learned in Primary. Invite them to return. Send a card during the week to let them know you enjoyed seeing them at church. During the week, call them to tell them how you loved seeing them at church and how youre excited to see them again on Sunday.
