With this week’s Come Follow Me Lesson we get to learn about King Benjamin and his message of service. After reading Mosiah 2:5-7 explain that there were so many people that King Benjamin built a tower so everyone could hear.
Use legos, blocks, or any other materials you have and let the children work together to build a tower. Let each child color and assemble their Tent Cutout. Once assembled place the tents around the tower.

As the children are coloring the tent you can explain how the people were preparing to hear the word of God. Discuss ways we can prepare to hear the word of God.
Afterwards take a wiggle break and sing the song “I Have Two Little Hands.” Point out the the last line of the first verse, “There is plenty indeed for my two hands to do.” Explain that King Benjamin taught us what we should do with our two hands, serve others. Have the children complete the Service Foldable Book.
Use the Secret Service Tickets in your home this week to put service into action. You can leave them on pillows or other places around the house as you do service for others, or write on each one after doing service and try to fill a mason jar full.
Some of our bonus ideas this week include making a King Benjamin Crown, watching a video on churchofjesuschrist.org about unselfish service, playing pictionary, and making necklaces. Read your summary page for more details on these activities.

It’s easy to wish the Lord would show us everything we need to do to be happy and successful. However, that’s not His way. Instead, we are to act under His guidance and do the things we feel would bring to pass righteousness. As He tells the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 62, do that “as seemeth you good, it mattereth not unto me; only be faithful.”
We all want to arrive at our own “promised land” or “Zion” sooner rather than later. However, we cannot forget that the process of getting there is just as important as the destination itself. As we follow Jesus Christ and keep His commandments, we are changed to become more like the Savior. The trials that accompany this period of growth are essential the eternal reward of being with our families forever, for “after much tribulation come the blessings (DC 58:4).”
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.
