Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 39 | September 21-27 | Isaiah 13–14; 22; 24–30; 35

One could look at the work being done by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today and describe it as “marvelous” and a “wonder” (Isaiah 29:14). With temples across the world, missionaries on nearly every continent, and millions of suffering people relieved by Church aid, it truly is impressive. Yet Isaiah marveled not at the Church itself, but at the healing power of Jesus Christ in the hearts of so many of God’s children. It’s not the temples themselves that are a wonder, but the eternal covenants made inside. It’s not the number of missionaries serving that is a marvelous work, but the individual souls who are being taught by each sister and elder. It’s not the exact dollar amount spent on humanitarian efforts that made Isaiah’s vision great, but the difference made in each life through kindness and giving in the Savior’s name.

THIS WEEK’S COME FOLLOW ME HIGHLIGHTS​

Elementary Bundle Lessons & Activities​

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!

The Rock of our Salvation

Scripture Study

This week’s scripture activity will help your family focus on things that point to the Savior. Read Isaiah 14:3, 25:8, and 28:16 together. Talk about how Isaiah’s teachings lead us to Christ. Then, work with your family to compile a list of scriptures that talk of Christ. Help your children collect rocks to use for the Pointing to the Savior Rock Painting activity, which will help point others to the Savior.

Trust in Christ

Hands-On Activity

Start by talking together about trust. What does trust mean? How can you tell if someone is trustworthy? Who are the people you trust in your life? Next, read Isaiah 26:4 and discuss how we can trust in the Lord. Try a family trust activity like a trust fall or a blindfolded obstacle course, where one person is blindfolded and another leads them safely through. Discuss how, just like you trusted your family to catch you or guide you, we can trust that the Lord will always be there to help and support us!

A Marvelous Work

Surprise Activity

Read Isaiah 29:13-15, 18, and 24 about the “marvelous work and a wonder” the Lord promised to do among His people. Make the Marvelous Work and a Wonder mini book, and talk about Joseph Smith’s role in bringing the Book of Mormon to the world.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams.

Restoring the Gospel

Family Activity

With your child, build a structure using blocks or Legos. Have your child knock the structure over, then help them put it back together again. Explain that when you rebuild it, you are “restoring” it. Teach that Jesus restores what is broken or lost. Explain that when Jesus lived on the earth, He established the gospel, but over time, the gospel was lost. Hundreds of years later, the gospel was restored— or put back together—through the Prophet Joseph Smith.

The toddler bundle includes a lesson plan and three activities every week. Grab the toddler bundle in our subscription.

“The Redeemer Shall Come to Zion”

Isaiah taught more about the principle of fasting than any other Old Testament prophet, teaching that giving something up for the Lord is more than just going without food and drink. Its purpose is much holier: “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free” (Isaiah 58:6). Fasting frees us from constraints on our spirit, allowing us to be more sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost.

“He Hath Borne Our Griefs, and Carried Our Sorrows”

Some of Isaiah’s greatest teachings were his reminders that the Lord loves His people. Though they stumbled over their own mistakes constantly, the Lord never stopped repeating His love for them and His willingness to forgive them, for He is “thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people” (Isaiah 51:22).

“Comfort Ye My People”

There are stages in life that feel like they go on forever, especially in parenthood: sleepless nights helping kids stay in their own beds, potty training for weeks unending, and running to and from after-school activities. While the privilege of being a parent is a blessing, it can be exhausting just trying to keep up every day. Isaiah taught that when we feel like we have nothing left in us, we should rely on the Lord to give us strength (Isiah 40:29). After all, are we not caring for His children?
