We have multiple lessons for a variety of ages in our digital subscription to help you find what works best for your family. Our goal is to help families come closer to Christ and we’ve worked really hard on providing more options to help families implement Come Follow Me in their home.
As you read the assigned readings in the Come Follow Me For Individuals and Families talk about how you can learn more about Christ’s last week on Earth and color the coloring page.
Learn about the Holy Week by doing the Holy Week Walk. Give your child a sticker for their Holy Week Passport at each station.
Read and talk about Mary and the apostles visiting the empty tomb in Matthew 28:1-8. Ask your family how they would feel if they found Jesus’ body gone? Make resurrection rolls together and point out how they are empty just like the tomb, because Jesus is risen!
Follow the instructions to put together the resurrection eggs. You will need 12 plastic eggs and the corresponding objects to go with them. Have the children open the eggs one by one. Read the paper and discuss the object as a family.
Each week the Come Follow Me Teen Lesson includes 4 discussion questions, a challenge, QR code to a video made by experienced Seminary teachers, and a scripture print to print off and display.
The merry mail will only be available in your account during the current month, April 1st-30th.
If you currently have a Come Follow Me FHE lesson subscription you can access the materials by logging into your account, click on “My Account” and then click on “Downloads.” If you don’t have a subscription you can purchase one by clicking on the subscribe tab on the top left corner.

The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
Have you ever been jealous of your neighbor? The Israelites sure were. They wanted a king to rule over them as other nations had, believing that life would be better and more secure. However, when Israel’s prophet prayed about having a king as a leader, the Lord responded that the people’s jealous desire was actually a rejection of Him as their true King: “they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them” (1 Samuel 8:7). Their need for what others’ possessed had decreased their faith in Him.
The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
