It really really has.
Best. Calling. Ever.
I was released today, just before our Children's Sacrament Meeting Presentation began.
And then, the children sang better than I have ever heard them sing before. Awesome.
I have had a few requests for a 2012 Primary Music Schedule. Instead, I have created a generic sort of schedule:
The first page of the document is completely generic. Print of as many of this page as you need for the whole year, then fill in the Months, Monthly Themes, Dates, and all the songs.
Or, you can print the 12 additional pages that have the Month header already included, as well as the Prelude, Welcome, Birthday, Wiggle songs already filled in:
For months that have a 5th Sunday you will want to print an extra of either of the forms to add on an extra week.
I hope you will forgive any typos or inconsistencies. Also, if you have Microsoft Office Publisher (the program I used to create the schedule) and you would like to have my template so you can re-arrange it the way you want it, email me at bridgettepatterson@gmail.com and I will send you the editable Publisher file. After all, I'm still here. :)
Thanks to all of you for sharing so much love.
Have Fun!

Bridgette, I am going to miss reading your latest and greatest song ideas! I am so grateful for you sharing your talents and creativity with the rest of us. I still plan on using some of your older ideas so hopefully you'll leave your blog up! Thanks again! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat?! NOOOOOO!!! Now where will I get my ideas?! I am bummed.
ReplyDeleteyour creativity will be missed! I have used many of your ideas. Thanks for all you have shared with us!
ReplyDeleteThat. Stinks. Period. I am your biggest fan and I will miss your ideas terribly. Please keep us informed as to whatever adventures your new calling(s) may bring. Thanks so much for generosity in sharing all of your ideas, work, blood, sweat and tears. We love you!
ReplyDeleteI really was sad to see you were released! Your blog is my very favorite and I love all your ideas. Everything you came up with was exactly what I was looking for. I am seriously bummed! You are great. Thanks for saving my bacon on many a Saturday night. Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't surprising to me that such a talented woman would be in high demand for any calling. I know I would be submitting your name every new chance. Your capability and creativity will certainly be an asset wherever you serve. Blessings to you and thanks for so many great ideas!
ReplyDeletelol, i literally just got called and found your blog, only to find your post says you have been released! what are the odds? lol. good luck to you in your endeavors. i hope to peruse through all the work you have put in here.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all your ideas. I have been in less than a year and you have inspired me so many times. I appreciate your sharing and I will be looking for ways to use your old post with new songs!
ReplyDeletePlease leave your blog up so I can glean from your old ideas! I have really appreciated what you have posted.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for being a "light and a beacon" to me, and I'm sure I'm safe to say, many other choristers. You have been a source of inspiration for me and my little primary. When I was called a year and a half ago I knew nothing about music, leading, etc... Your blog has been a lifesaver!!! Your flip charts are absolutely GORGEOUS! I'm so sad to see you move on. :( I add my please... Please leave your blog up so me and others can glean from your awesome stuff! Thank you from the bottom of my lil' heart! <3
ReplyDeleteYou are all so wonderfully kind! Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI actually get to go to SS and RS this Sunday. No new calling! I think I am going to have to hold somebody's baby so I'll be entertained, as sitting so still may cause me to drop off. Eeek.
No worries, I'll leave the blog up as long as there is interest.
Love,
Bridgette
I will miss you! You have the best flipcharts in the deep blue sea! Thank you for saving me hours of time and frustration. People at church always say how much they love the visuals I use in primary. I tell them my, unbeknownst to her, BFF in music cyberspace made them. Thanks a BUNCH!
ReplyDeleteBridgette, I am shocked and sad. How crazy that they released you on presentation Sunday!?! How did you keep your composure? I cannot thank you enough for sharing all of your brilliance and creativity. You are my go-to gal. Good luck to you in your new calling. I wish I could give you a huge "thank you" hug.
ReplyDeletethank you SO much for all your brilliant ideas! i , too, was released from primary chorister last sunday - our program as well. while i'm sad to be done, i'm now in the presidency over music, so i know i'll be subbing and still visiting your archives. :) i hope you don't get rid of them!!
ReplyDeletethank you again. i can't even begin to tell you how much i appreciated your site while i was chorister. i didn't know where to begin and i felt like you handed me more wonderful ideas than i could ever use! thank you, thank you, thank you ... and best of luck with whatever your new calling may be! :)
I've very much enjoyed your blog to get ideas. I was primary chorister back in 2001, way before blogs and I'm not sure how I did it! It has to be against our religion to have so much fun in this calling, I think I have more fun than the kids. Thank you for all your ideas and suggestions! I look forward to finding new ideas reading older posts.
ReplyDeleteOh this will not do!!!! I have loved getting ideas from your site. You have really made my singing times so much better and I'm not the only one who says so!!!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine what calling you will hold now and know that you will definitely magnify that calling as you have Primary Chorister. Thanks for all your fabulous ideas and sharing them with Primary Chorister around the world!!!
You will be missed. Checking you blog has been my Saturday night ritual for almost a year now and I will miss you wonderful ideas. Good luck in all your new endeavors!
ReplyDeleteI am so sad! I have never commented on your blog before but am a HUGE FAN of your ideas and you. You have saved me in this calling! Who am I going to get my ideas from now??!! Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us. Your new chorister has some pretty big shoes to fill.
ReplyDeleteall the best!
Jane
Again, thank you all for your sweet comments and support.
ReplyDeleteI will miss all of you so much too.
I'll be checking in here and there. :)
I've been out of town for a few weeks to come back and see this.NOOOOOOOOOO! They can't take you away from us! I can't tell you how many weeks you saved me from hours of preparation. When I get compliments on how great singing time is, I tell them it's not me, it's this great blog. I actually thought I was being released also and was very sad, this really is the best calling. I know you will totally rock as cub master, you will love all the monthly themes they have. You will be missed very much, I know I'll still have you bookmarked and refer back. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the help you have been in my calling!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me sad! I am getting sustained this Sunday to be our ward's primary chorister. I was directed to your blog as a source of awesome information.... and now you won't have this calling anymore. :(
ReplyDeleteAt least you spelled everything out in your year(s) of doing this blog :) I can't wait to use all these awesome ideas!
