Choose to Serve the Lord: Simple Way to Teach in Primary

Katie Clark — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 21:03:24 +0000

This year as we study The Old Testament in Come Follow Me, I’ve been drawn to the song “Choose to Serve the Lord” by Angie Killian. I love how it gives an overview of Old Testament stories, and it teaches how we can choose to serve the Lord in our lives. What a wonderful message for everyone to hear! I am teaching this song in January in primary and wanted to introduce it in a simple…

Katie Clark — Sun, 29 Dec 2024 02:57:19 +0000

When I was little, my parents gave me a print that said, “All I Need to Know I Learned in Primary” and then it had lines from a variety of primary songs.

Not a day goes by in our Cricut Support Group that someone doesn’t ask the question, “What type of vinyl should I use for . . .” And I don’t blame people for asking. It can be confusing! Not only are there tons of different kinds and names, but they all have different purposes…and let’s be real, it can be enough to make someone to throw in the towel. You really learn a whole…
