HELP!

So, yesterday (Sunday) I got called to be the sacrament meeting chorister AND the ward choir director. I can lead music no problem and I've been a chorister before but I have NO idea how to direct a choir. I've been in many choirs and have performed a lot but I've never had to direct one. So I am here to beg for advice and words of wisdom from anyone with previous experience directing a choir. I'm going to call my old choir director and hopefully get the flash course from his many years of mastered directing. Also, they told me I should start planning for a Christmas program right now and get it all organized for December. In my last ward the only calling I'd had was to pick the hymns each week and have them correspond with the topics of the talks. Super easy compared to the responsibility I've been given now. So anyone with advice I'm all ears and will be studying and finding all the resources I can. Keep me in your prayers!
