This program was put together for our 2011 Christmas Sacrament Meeting, which happened to be on Christmas Day! I have never felt the spirit as strongly on Christmas as I did on this day. I had many tears stream down my face as I led the choir that day, especially as the congregation joined in singing "Angels We Have Heard on High." This program was inspired by the Tabernacle Choir's Christmas concert where the great actor, Ed Hermann, narrated the story of how Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day" came to be written. I was also inspired by the book "Christmas With the Prophets" by Laura F. Willes. To date, it's probably my favorite program I've put together. (I actually love the one I've put together for this year, but I'm holding that one close to my vest for now). Anyway, I hope this can help if you're struggling to come with an idea for your own meeting. Here's the link:

Welcome to my new blog featuring programs that I've written and compiled for special ward Sacrament meetings and other events and activities. I have had several reach out to me over the years asking if I had any ideas or programs that I've saved, so my children encouraged me to create a blog where I can post each of them. I am sad that I don't have everything I've done through the years saved, but I will post what I do have and maybe it can inspire you to create your own programs! But, you are absolutely welcome to use these programs I've come up with if you don't want to have to think of something on your own! So, be watching over the next few days. I'll try to post at least one of my programs each day for the next few days...just in time for Christmas!
