Primary Talk Sign up
In effort to give the children opportunities develop their testimonies and to practice speaking in front of people, the primary children are given time to share with others through the sharing of prayer, talks, and scriptures. These talks and scripture shares are to be short and simple (1-2 min.)
Please review the available slots on the Signup Genius and sign up for days that work well for your family.
Make a note as to which child you are signing up, as many families have more than one.
Please sign up HERE
Here’s a link to the 2025 Wakefield ward Primary playlist.

Youth
If you (or a friend/ neighbor/ colleague) have skills, hobbies, or professional/personal experience that you feel the youth could benefit from learning more about in these categories, we would love to know! Our hope is to use this as a tool to help youth:
1) Get to know other members of the ward,
2) See many examples of Christlike living in action
3) Get ideas for activities and resources to support their growth in the Gospel.
