In January, the Primary General Presidency invited all Primaries worldwide to organize an annual service project. “We hope this worldwide effort will help children realize they are an important part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and can contribute in meaningful ways,” said a statement from the Primary presidency. “As the children serve, they will grow in their love for the Savior and feel joy as they share His love with others.”

The recorded 15-minute Friend to Friend broadcast may be used at home or in Primary to help teach children about the gospel of Jesus Christ. It will also include music and a visit from Louie the Toucan.
