NEW CHURCH CALLING
Heavenly Father has decided that it is time for me to take a step out of my comfort zone. For the past couple of years I have always been given callings in church that seemed very easy. I was on the Relief Society Enrichment Committee where we planned 4 activities a year. I was first counselor in a Primary Presidency that was over 3 nursery age kids (18mo to 3 years) and 2 sunbeams (3 to 4 year olds). There were more adults than kids. And my last calling that only lasted for a few months was Achievement Day Leader. (Activities for 8 to 11 year old girls similar to Cub Scouts). My new calling will be Primary pianist. I can play the piano but I have only played a few times with people were singing along. It has also been a while since I have practiced. Not only is my piano at home badly out of tune but every time I do sit down I have two kidos banging at the keys on each side of me. Its hard to tell if I'm playing the song correctly when all I hear is banging from them. On the plus side I am playing for a group of kids and not for adults. Kids won't notice when I mess up. I am thankful for this calling because it is pushing me out of my comfort zone and it gives me a reason, no matter what happens, to practice. I love playing the piano. This will be a fun calling.MY FAVORITE PRIMARY SONGS ARE: A Child's Prayer; I am a Child of God; I Belong to the Church of Jesus Christ; I Belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; Scripture Power

That's an awesome calling for you! I know you'll do great. BTW we have the same favorite primary songs. The first ones I remember and loved as a kid but Scripture Power is my new favorite that I learned just a few years back. I love it! It's a huge hit in our primary.
This reminds me, one of my friends just got called to be the relief society pianist every 3rd week. She was so nervous about playing a song that she didn't know that she traded for the lesson that week. I think she's nuts.
you will do wonderfully! dont worry!
as the primary chorister in my ward i totally love having a reliable pianist....who cares about the fancy playing stuff...even if it's only the right hand. I'm sure you've got that down so you are set! you'll do great, and have fun watching those crazy kids over the piano. lucky thing you get to just watch:)
