On Sunday, Jeffrey and I went to a chapel (the nearest steeple we could find) and went to church in a ward in Ogden. We were told it was going to be the Primary children's program.
There were five children when the meeting began and another family with four children came about 20 minutes in. Three of the children went up onto the stand. Everyone had a small talk and some of the children spoke 3 or 4 times. The music was wonderful, the children were adorable and engaging. One of the songs about families, the parents of the children came up form the audience and stood behind their child in groups of families across the front in back of the podium like a stage. The song was much more powerful looking at them as family units.
Before the meeting began, a man came up to welcome us. His name is Jim Hoggan. When he was a young man, he helped build the chapel that we were in. He says that he plays Santa every year and his small daughter (now a woman) helps him out as an elf. He was warm welcoming and fun to talk with.
