In a world that revolves around money, it can be stressful to know how we can support our families and make the most of the resources we obtain. We should feel grateful to know that in the Lord’s Church, Jesus Christ provides direction on how temporal resources can be used to further His work. He instructs the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 51 to collect money, food, and clothing to help provide for each other. We also read of the commandment to build a bishop’s storehouse.
Some of us fall on hard times and require help to provide our families with food, clothing, and shelter. In following with this instruction given in 1831, today’s Presiding Bishopric continues to gather “meat in mine house” (Malachi 3:10) to bless those in our communities who might be in need. Through selfless service and paying our tithing, we can help bless God’s children with food, clothing, and other necessities across the world.

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
Members of the church are blessed for the countless hours of service they provide. At times, it may be challenging, but we learn through scriptures that keeping our covenants and the commandments bless us. Read D&C 54:6 and Break the Code as a family. Discuss the keywords and challenge your family to memorize the scripture this week, then share at the next lesson.
Hands-On Activity
We make covenants with the Lord as members of His church. In D&C 54, a man named Leman breaks his covenants and suffers the consequences. We will have similar events happen in our life if we do not keep our covenants. Play the Train Board Game to emphasize the importance of keeping covenants with the Lord and how we are blessed when we do so.
Surprise Activity
God calls Godly men and women as leaders of our church. Study the attributes of leaders in D&C 52:14-19, and see if the attributes match those of our prophet and those who speak to us at General Conference. Use the Follow the Prophet cards as you sing “Follow the Prophet” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 110) and see if the prophets have the attributes listed in D&C.

Go & Do Activity
As you cut out the Obeying the Commandments Keeps Me on Track train and the tracks for this activity, explain that all trains need a track. The track helps the train stay on course and get where it needs to go. The track also helps the train avoid danger. Just like the train, we also can stay safe from danger by staying “on track.” When we obey the commandments and keep our covenants, we stay “on track.” Read D&C 54:6. Explain that covenants are promises we make with Heavenly Father. When we keep our promises and obey God’s commandments, we will stay on track, avoid danger and return to live with God in Heaven. Assemble the train on the tracks. Sing “The Train on the Track” song with your child (see lesson for lyrics).

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, but he found that once they were in the wilderness, it wasn’t so easy to take Egypt out of the Israelites. Even with the many miracles and signs the people had witnessed, they still wanted to return to a life of slavery with every hardship they encountered. If the Israelites were to be the Lord’s chosen people, this could not be.
How did Moses prepare the Israelites to make covenants with the Lord? We read in Exodus 25 that God gave commandments to His people to help them be ready for greater covenant blessings when He would “dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). Even though the Israelites struggled to keep these commandments, they were eventually blessed as they remained true to the Lord. We will also receive all promised blessings as we live our lives in faithfulness.
Following the 10 Plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, you would think that the Israelites were in a powerful place spiritually. They had seen incredible miracles and had sure witnesses that the Lord was with them. Yet, upon facing a shortage of food and water, the people were willing to abandon everything God had done for them and return to slavery: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt… when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness” (Exodus 16:3).
