OK, I swear Heavenly Father will not let my music talents go to waste. That's a good thing I guess. As most of you know in our little branch most of us have to hold multiple callings. I am the food storage coordinator, and also the Music Leader/Educator in Relief Society. I have now been called to another calling on top of this. I am now the Branch Musician. Basically I plan all the music that is done and I oversee all the music position in the Branch. I recommend people for music callings in the branch, and I also make sure the music is appropriate for the services, and make sure there is appropriate musicals numbers done in Sacrament meetings and so forth. One of the major assignments I am in charge of, is the Christmas Program for Sacrament meeting. I am to write all the talks, or assign talks, and get all the music done for it as well. This is all overwhelming a little. But with prayer and talent I think I can do this. I just would like your opinion as to what was the most memorable Christmas Sacrament Meeting you ever went to and why did you like it, and what was it that you liked.
I am thinking of having a quartet of women sing "Mary's Lullaby" that is in the children's hymn book and have a gal in our branch who plays the violin beautifully play this with the group. I am also wanting a trio to sing Mary did you know. Then I have a quartet of primary girls to sing "Picture a Christmas" from the kids song book, and then the primary kids to sing away in a manger. But I'm not sure what else to do. I was also thinking of doing the speaking parts from the perspective of the individuals, such as Mary, Joseph, a wise man, a shepherd and so on.
Let me know your ideas. I'd love to get some input. Thanks!!!

I like it. The only other song that is one of my favorite that I love to hear (and I think you would do awesome singing it) is "Oh Holy Night" I love that song.
I have a couple of Christmas programs with narration that I have organized in the past if you want to come over and look at them for ideas. Feel free to bounce ideas off of us. What you have so far sounds really nice.
Hi-
I came across your blog when I was googling food storage and yours came up since you mentioned it in your post.
Sorry I can't really help out with the music stuff, but if you ever need any food storage ideas, feel free to check out our blog. In fact, we taught a food storage class a couple months ago and we posted free printables of all our handouts for everyone to enjoy. They are on the lefthand side of our blog, under "free printables" (entitled "Food Storage 101"). I hope that can help you out, and help ease some of the stress of all your callings.
Good luck!

Sounds wonderful. I'm sure it'll turn out great!
I don't think "swear" and "Heavenly Father" should be used in the same sentence. J/K :)
If you have those songs sung....I will be BAWLING!
Those are so beautiful and I know your going to be great!
I can't help much...but I do listen great when people need to talk through something...I do that. I start talking about a project *Gingerbread for example* and I talk and talk and talk and eventually I get it. :D
I know that prolly didn't help. LOL
