Begin the lesson by reciting together the Picture Scripture Read Along. Try to memorize the verse. You could create actions to go along with each picture to help your children remember the verse.
Next, play the heart matching game. Explain that when we believe in Christ we will have a mighty change of heart.
Follow the lesson summary sheet to turn the lesson to reviewing the covenants we make at baptism. Use the Baptismal Board Sort activity.
Display the Bee a Covenant Keeper Hive Print. Give each child a sheet of bees and let them write or draw covenants we make at baptism on each bee. But out each bee and glue onto the hive print.
At the end of the lesson give each person a Bee a Covenant Keeper handout. You may choose to purchase Burt Bees chapstick to include with the handout.
You can also use this Bee A Covenant Keeper Hive Print later in the week as a bonus activity. Discuss ways we can choose to be a covenant keeper. Pass out the “Chews to be a covenant keeper” handout at the end.
Other bonus ideas include the scripture marking guides, singing songs and testifying of Christ while displaying the picture of Christ in the Come Follow Me For Individuals and Families Manual, using the Christ heart pins to discuss more in depth what it means to have a change of heart and to have Christ written on our heart, and consider using our Sacrament Tray file folder game as you discuss taking the sacrament and renewing our covenants.
See your summary sheet for more details.

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.
