Prophets - May 2013

In May the theme in primary is about the Prophets and how they teach us to live the restored gospel (find the 2013 Primary Outline HERE). There is no song recommended this month; instead we are to choose our own song from the Children's Songbook. For our ward's primary program (if there is enough time) I think I might ask someone to play this Joseph Smith Medley found HERE. I think it would be very pretty between/to finish off our restoration medley going into a song about the prophets. For the children we will sing We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet (perhaps adding in the congregation). We will also learn and sing Latter-day Prophets and Follow the Prophet (verses 8 & 9, + maybe 2, 3, & 7 as well) just for singing-time.

**Don't forget that if you are performing in sacrament meeting for Father's Day like we are to start on that too! We are doing Daddy's Homecoming with actions and possibly bells (found HERE).
