2007 Sharing Time Themes & Helps
 

Hi everyone!  I hope these sharing time's are helpful and informative.  However, they are sharing time suggestions...simply that...suggestions.  Only you have the inspiration needed to fulfill your calling.  Most of the following suggestions come from, or are adapted from, the Friend Magazine.  I know you'll put your own creative touch on the ideas here but it is such a help to have a starting point.  I just know that when I was in Primary, I sometimes struggled to get ideas going on a particular theme.  Hopefully, it will get you started and provide further inspiration for your Primary.  May you be blessed in your efforts to teach the children about our Savior and His gospel. 

Also, if you have a sharing time that you've prepared and would like to share it with all of us, e-mail me.  Thanks everyone!
