Smudge, Thanks for your input. I reread the introduction to the handbook last night and it seems to support the input I have had from you and others on this discussion board.

To Pam and skippy740 Thanks to both of you for your comments. I feel just as the two of you do - the children come first! I will sleep better tonight knowing I probably won't be excommunicated for not following the handbook exactly as it is written.

I am a Primary President in a very small Branch with only 5 children in our Primary. I have one counselor. At this time, I teach a class and do Sharing time. My counselor teaches a class and does the music. My question is regarding Sharing Time. The handbook says that Sharing Time should be done by the Primary Presidency. We have a sister in our Branch that I would like to call to do just the Sharing time and not call her to the Presidency. Our stake Primary President has approved that calling but I am getting feedback that I should not ignore the Handbook. I would like some suggestions on what I should do.
