Doctrine and Covenants Section 76 speaks to the eternal truth that salvation comes through and only because of Jesus Christ. Our eternal destiny is secured through the Son of God, and so is our daily salvation. When we reflect on our day and ask for help with our mistakes, He is the one who will help us.
As we seek to be a better parent, or to increase our love for our neighbors, or to know how we can forgive others, Christ will change our hearts in ways that will bless us now and for all eternity. As He said, “by my Spirit will I enlighten them” (Doctrine and Covenants 76:10). His teachings will guide our families to that great and eternal reward.

We have some great activities and resources to help assist you in celebrating a Christ-centered Easter this year! We recommend picking the activities that work best for you and your family. We think just a few activities will allow you to celebrate Easter, but also allow you time to focus on our Savior and what He has done for us. Our hope is that you will find something meaningful for your family to help celebrate this special holiday!
Scripture Study
As a family, read D&C 76:40-42, where the gospel is described as glad tidings to the world. Use the Good Newspaper and share what you love about the gospel and how you could share it with the world. Focus on teaching your children how the word gospel means “good news” and how they can share the good news in their lives through their thoughts, words, and actions.
Hands-On Activity
Have fun in the kitchen making the Degrees of Glory sugar cookies. Follow the recipe and explain how each step is crucial in creating the perfect cookie. Using cutters or free hand, roll and cut the dough into sun, moon and star shapes. After they are done baking, decorate with frosting and sprinkles. Discuss how D&C 76 focuses on the degrees of glory and how we can strive to obtain the highest degree.
Surprise Activity
A main focus of D&C 76 is the descriptions of the three degrees of glory, as explained in The Plan of Salvation. Quickly review The Plan with your children, or reference a video on the media page. Use the Degrees of Glory Sorting Game to read the scriptures and place the token in the correct category of sun, moon or star.

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams.
Go & Do Activity
Sing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” with your child. Teach that Jesus created the stars in the sky. He also created the Earth where we live. He created the sun that gives us light and warmth in the day. He created the moon that shines at night. Jesus made all this for us. When we look at the sun, moon, and stars, we can remember that He made them for us. Explain that He made all these things because He loves us so much. With your child, create your sun, moon, and stars mosaic. Help your child rip colored construction paper into small pieces and glue them onto the sun, moon, and stars. Once finished, you could hole punch each piece, tie a string through them and tie the strings to a clothes hanger to make a mobile to remember how much you are loved. Read D&C 76:24. Have your child hold up their sun and sing “Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 60).

This week’s lesson from Psalms (Psalms 49–51; 61–66; 69–72; 77–78; 85–86) centers on God’s endless mercy, forgiveness, and role as our safe refuge. The psalmists openly share their struggles, fears, and mistakes, showing us that faith isn’t about being perfect—it’s about knowing who to turn to when we need help.
In modern times, the Lord declared “the song of the heart is a prayer unto me” (Doctrine and Covenants 25:12). In ancient times, songs, or psalms, were used to praise the Lord and remember His covenants with His people. Many Psalms are attributed to King David, whose relationship with God is one of the most detailed in the entire Old Testament. It’s no wonder David is thought to be the author of so many songs that praise the Lord for His strength, His mercy, His patience with His children, and His eternal love for all mankind.
Job had many blessings in his life: a large family, a devoted spouse, and wealth that provided plenty and more for his household. Job gave thanks to God for his blessings, but even when nearly every blessing was taken away, he did not lessen his faith. Instead, as those around him said his faith had been a waste of time, Job showed his trust in the Lord by exercising Christlike patience and long suffering. Eventually, Job’s faith was rewarded, and his trust in God was justified.
