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.
Keeping commandments daily does not mean we see an immediate relief from trials or obtain blessings right away. However, it does guarantee we can live in peace now as we feel the presence of our Father in Heaven each day.

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
Read Exodus 32:1-8, 19-24 as a family. Discuss what the Israelites had done and how we sometimes worship worldly things today, too. Complete the Things We Idolize Today activity page by following the instructions included on the page (pp. 3–4).
Hands-On Activity
Read Exodus 31:13 as a family and have a discussion on the Sabbath day. What we do on Sunday and other days shows Heavenly Father how we feel about Him. As the scripture says, it’s a sign. Ask yourself and your family, “What sign are we showing God by going to church?” Use the I Love You! sign to write or draw what you do to show your love for the Lord.
Surprise Activity
This week, two activities will help your family review the Ten Commandments from Exodus 20:3-17. First, follow the instructions to cut out and fold the Ten Commandments Chatterbox. Take turns selecting a section and see who can name all Ten Commandments. Next, cut apart the Ten Commandments Puzzle to continue your review.

Family Activity
Help your child make a “treasure” box by decorating a small container with markers and stickers. Collect small rocks, buttons, coins, or other small objects to place in the treasure box. Explain that a “treasure” is something very valuable and precious. We are Heavenly Father’s treasure because we are His children. Read Exodus 19:5 and discuss how we can feel Heavenly Father’s love for us by seeing all the wonderful things He has given us. Sing “My Heavenly Father Loves Me” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 228) and share your testimony that Heavenly Father loves all of His children.

Though the writings of Isaiah can be intimidating to study, we are encouraged to dive in and embrace this special part of the Old Testament. Isaiah is unique in that the entire book is written by him, as opposed to the historical texts we read earlier this year. Think about it: the word of the Lord straight from the mouth of an ancient prophet in your own home.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a guidebook on how to be a better parent? On how to have less contention in the home? A word or two on having more patience and kindness? The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom given to David, Solomon, and others who sought the guidance of Heaven. Many verses, when read with prayer and real intent, can answer our prayers when we need heavenly guidance in raising our children, such as this one: “A soft answer turneth away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1).
As we continue through Psalms, we are taught that humility is required to recognize God’s personal affection for each of His children. Heavenly Father knows each of us better than we know ourselves—our thoughts, strengths, and struggles—and offers His scriptures as a light to guide us home through life’s darkness and challenges.
