We have multiple Come Follow Me subscriptions and multiple activities in each 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 achieve our goal.
Tell the story found in Exodus 14 about Moses parting the Red Sea. Point out that Heavenly Father told the people to fear not because He would be with them and help them. Heavenly Father gave Moses the power to part the Red Sea. The Israelites walked across on dry ground and were saved from the Egyptians. Fill a small plastic bin with water. Use a straw to try to part the water by blowing it. Then try to separate the water with your hands. Explain that parting the Red Sea was a miracle. Share your testimony that we don’t need to fear when we have hard things because Heavenly Father will help us too.
Learn together about the importance of listening, hearing, and heeding revelation from Moses. As you read the story in Exodus 14:5-22, pay attention to how Moses receives revelation. Then, have your children create and fill in their “Hear Him Journal”. Talk with your family about how you hear Him and how they can learn to hear Him in their lives too.
Read Exodus 15:23-25; 16:14-15; and 17:1-6 as a family. Discuss what the Israelites were doing and how God provided for them. Then, do the quail and manna activity. Scatter the quail and manna across the floor. Let the children use their basket to gather the quail and manna. See the instruction page for how to make a basket out of a brown paper bag.

Parenting is not easy. The experiences of Adam and Eve show that being a parent has never been without trials and heartache. Yet through raising their family, they learned true happiness comes as we try to follow Jesus Christ. Eve said without the pain that had happened in her life, she “never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth” (Moses 5:11).
At the start of each new year, parents plan out activities and events for their family to do during the next 12 months. We hope to make happy memories, build our children’s character, and provide a refuge of emotional and spiritual support during hard times that will inevitably come. We want the best for our family and hope that at the end of the year, we will reflect on how good a year it was.
God knew the purpose of His creation before He began His work. As He told Moses, “This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (Moses 1:39). That purpose is the “why” for everything God does, including why He loves each of us.
