MKE North Stake Primary Service Plan
In preparation for the Primary’s 150th anniversary celebration in 2028, the Primary General Presidency was inspired to encourage the Primary children across the world to do what they to best — serve others.

Temple and Priesthood Preparation
This year, our stake Primary held a temple and priesthood preparation meeting in November with all young men and young women who will be turning 12 in 2025. We talked about preparing to go to the temple for the first time and how we can all be ready to represent the Savior by accessing and honoring the priesthood. These are exciting times! .
There are so many incredible resources out there for young people who are preparing to go to the temple for the first time. On this page, you will find several links to videos and information about baptisms for the dead and other aspects of temple attendance.
Receiving the Aaronic Priesthood is also a sacred and exciting time for young men. It’s important to understand what this means and what our responsibilities are as we take this next step in our spiritual development. Young women can also learn about how to access priesthood power and use that power every day. As we do this, we can grow spiritually and bless the lives of others.
