Dear {$user.name_f}:
Primary News - from Debra Woods Hamilton
With the CSMP coming up, start
preparing the children now to invite guests to attend! I've just added
darling "I Am a Star!" invitations to the Primary Knowledgebase http://latter-dayvillage.com/primary/article.php?id=1031 that match the
darling new "You Are a Star!" stickers in our store! Use them to
recognize the hard work and accomplishment of the children after the
program! (Remember - all our stickers have FREE SHIPPING)
If you haven't seen it yet, there is a sample CSMP program in the Free Sampler at http://latter-dayvillage.com/sampler/article.php?id=134
SCRIPTURES IN PRIMARY - I've been hearing a discussion about how to get
children to bring their scriptures to Primary. If you use the
scriptures, and give the children time to use their own scriptures on a
regular basis in class and sharing time, the children will be motivated
to bring their scriptures. A fun way to include the scriptures is to
do the Primary Scripture Search every month. Each monthly
scripture is featured in a search that requires the children to open
their scriptures to solve - and is accompanied by a fun activity page
with puzzles or games that reinforces the message of that scripture.
Check out the Primary Scripture Searches for 2006 in our Primary
Knowledgebase at:

Also, there
are 48 Primary Scripture Searches and activity pages in each of our

SEMINARY NEWS - from Tim Holder
NOW IS THE TIME TO PREPARE Many of you teaching seminary have only a month or less to prepare for the Doctrine & Covenants Church History curriculum. Having taught that course twice myself, it is exciting to teach so many of our latter-day revelations and church development to the youth of the church. If you are not currently subscribed to the Seminary Filing Cabinet, here are a few reasons it could be your greatest resource outside of the CES manuals.
If you are not a subscriber, visit your membership page now to sign up for a free one-week trial. All you need is a credit card; you can cancel anytime during that first week if the filing cabinet is not what you need.
NEW CHURCH HISTORY MAP W/CUTOUTS
Last year Debra designed a 30"x30" washable felt map showing the Book of Mormon lands. It was one of our most popular shopping cart items. Now she has created a new map for teaching the D&C Church History. The map, printed by Storytime Felts exclusively for Latter-day Village, is washable and colorfast. You can lay it flat on a table or hang it on the wall to help your students follow the saints from Palmyra to Salt Lake. The main map measures 30"x24" and includes the following cutouts, which enhance the usefulness of the map:
We also provide additional graphic images you can print to use with the maps.
One week special: purchase a map in the next seven days and we will send you two sheets of DC Church History stickers, FREE of CHARGE including SHIPPING: 1) Prophets of the Restoration Stickers and 2) Church History Stickers. This special ends Saturday 7/22/2006.
R.E.D. BRACELETS
If you are planning an ongoing campaign to encourage your seminary students to Read the scriptures Every Day, nothing is better the R.E.D. bracelet. Last year we shipped over 10,000 (yes, that’s TEN THOUSAND) bracelets to seminary and institutes all over the world. Use with or without other R.E.D. ideas, these visible reminders can start a lifetime of daily scripture reading for your students. Think of the powerful impact in their lives if they develop this now.

You save even more with our quantity pricing and free shipping; combine orders with other teachers in our area. Visit the bracelets shopping cart page for information on choosing the right size.
