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.
Before the lesson hide the 4 pictures of Jesus around the room. Teach that Jesus has asked us to seek Him. When we seek for Him it means we search for him. Let your child look for the pictures of Jesus. After they have found all 4 pictures discuss ways we can seek Jesus. We can seek Him by reading the scriptures. He has also taught us to seek learning by reading the best books. Read D&C 88:118 Color the coloring page while you talk about some of your favorite books that you like to read together. Share your testimony about how you seek Jesus each day.
Read D&C 88:119. Create the “Prepare Every Needful Thing Mini Book.” Then go through every page and discuss what it means what it looks like in your house. Think about how each of you can make your house more spiritual.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Read Doctrine and Covenants 88:123. Watch the Love One Another Video. As you watch, look for examples of how each person is showing love to someone else.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
