Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 37 | September 8-14 | Doctrine and Covenants 97-101

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).

The Lord concludes His instruction by commanding the saints to forgive those who offended them, saying, “if he trespass against thee… and repent not, nevertheless thou shalt forgive him” (D&C 97:42). Forgiveness invites us to see things from the Lord’s perspective as we show love as Christ would. When we feel like the world is against us and nothing seems to be working out in our favor, we will be blessed if we follow this same counsel.

Our hope is that you will find something meaningful for your family to help celebrate this special holiday!

God Keeps Us Safe

Scripture Study

Read the Parable of the Nobleman and the Olive Trees in D&C 101:43-62 using a felt board and the parable story pictures as you read to help keep your children’s attention. After reading, have a discussion about the parable and how it teaches that following God’s counsel helps keep us safe.

Finding Peace

Hands-On Activity

Before the lesson, prepare books with the “Where Can I Turn For Peace?” finding activity squares. Have everyone think of a time when they wanted to find peace. Follow the instructions from the activity page by listening to the song, then listening again while your children find the picture squares. Discuss what is written on the cards and the meaning of the song. Share how you find peace.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams.

Revealing Truth

Hands-On Activity

Hide a toy under a blanket. Have your child feel it and try to guess what’s under the blanket. Pick up the blanket and show the toy. Explain that you revealed the toy. To reveal something is to make something known that wasn’t previously known. With your child, take turns hiding and revealing the toy. Each time you reveal the toy, have them say, “reveal” to help solidify the new word in their minds. Explain that Jesus has revealed many gospel truths. There were truths that were not known; they were hidden because there was a time when there wasn’t a prophet. Through Joseph Smith, Jesus revealed truths like baptism, the temple and the priesthood. When Jesus comes again someday, He will reveal all things, even hidden and precious things. Read D&C 101:32-34 and Article of Faith 1:9. Assemble the flapbook and read it with your child. Share your testimony about all the precious things the Lord has revealed.

The toddler bundle includes a lesson plan and three activities every week. Grab the toddler bundle in our subscription.

“I Will Order All Things for Your Good”

Have you ever had a powerful spiritual experience and felt the joy of God’s love, only to feel down again when normal life resumes? Or an hour where your children were seemingly perfect and kind to one another, but the rest of the day was awful? This might have been how the early saints felt by the end of the year following the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. Life itself didn’t get easier with the temple’s completion. Financial troubles and increased persecution made enduring to the end difficult for many saints. Yet those who persevered were blessed not only with strength but also with direction on how they could be a blessing to God’s children even amidst their own trials. The Lord’s comforting words to them are extended to us today as we also can help others feel loved during our own struggles: “Let thy heart be of good cheer before my face… for I, the Lord, have a great work for thee to do” (D&C 112:4,6).

“It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness”

March 27, 1836, was a special date both on earth and in heaven. For the first time since 70 AD, a temple of God was available for men and women to worship in. Many saints who were present for the dedication saw angels celebrating the return of temple blessings to the world. The Lord Jesus Christ shared His own joy of the temple’s completion in Doctrine and Covenants 110:6-7, when he said, “let the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, built this house to my name. For behold, I have accepted this house…”.

“The Order of the Son of God”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized according to the Lord’s instructions, as detailed in this week’s reading in the Doctrine and Covenants. One of the ways we can apply the Lord’s guidance in these sections to our families is to establish councils within our homes. We should, with our children, “sit in council with them, and to teach them their duty, edifying one another” (D&C 107:85).
