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.

Returning to Jerusalem after 70 years in captivity, the Israelites were eager to restore that which they had lost. The prophets Ezra and Nehemiah helped lead the people in rebuilding the wall around the city and in repairing the temple. But this was more than rebuilding their place of worship: it was a return to their covenants with God.
After many years of living separately, King Hezekiah of Judah invited the people of the Kingdom of Israel to come down to Jerusalem and worship the Lord during the Passover. Many who came to the temple did not remember all the cleansing ordinances and were not fully prepared to participate. Rather than scorn them, Hezekiah made sure that no one who attended Passover was left out: “The good Lord pardon every one that prepareth his heart to seek God” (2 Chronicles 30:18-19). Because of this, “there was great joy” during the Passover in Jerusalem as the people grew closer together in worship (2 Chronicles 30:26).
Josiah was a righteous king of Judah. He desired to bring the people back into their covenant relationship with the Lord, yet there was no way to remember the Law of Moses: the people had forgotten it. However, when ancient scripture texts were found in the temple, Josiah was able to remind his people of the law and blessings of their covenant. The people began to feel God’s presence again as worship of the Savior resumed “with all their heart and all their soul” (2 Kings 23:3).
