AnnouncementsThe stake primary presidency has resumed attending ward conferences and we're excited to meet with you! Please feel free to share your concerns and ideas with us when we meet. Also know we are happy to help during ward conferences in any way we can :)
New Updated HandbookA new General Handbook has been released and is available online and on the Gospel Library App.
Area Plan EvaluationHow are we doing? In October 2019, our Sandpoint Stake Presidency asked that all organizations review the Area Plan that was presented almost a year ago. All of the area goals apply to Primary, especially Encouraging the Rising Generation. Consider how your ward/branch is progressing this past year with encouraging the children to share the gospel with friends, invite friends to activities, visit the temple, tell experiences about the temple, talk about future mission plans and so on.

We want your ideas!
We love to share ideas from wards and branches in Sandpoint Stake. If you have had a great activity, discovered a great way to organize a scout event, or figured out how to make your children love singing, we want to hear it. Pictures are amazing! We want them, but we also need you to get permission from parents of any photographed children before you send them to us to post online. We will never post the names of children online. You can use this consent form. We are serious about respecting parent's rights to decide if their children can be posted online. |
An internet consent form to print and get parents to sign.
