Christmas, Good Tidings of Great Joy

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 52 | December 16 - December 22

We look forward to the Christmas lesson all year and now it’s here!

Begin the lesson by reading the openings paragraphs on page 194 of the manual. Read or summarize the story of Christ’s birth from Matthew and Luke. Study the picture in the manual and imagine what it was like when Christ was born. 

As you read the Christmas story you can let each family member hang up a piece of the nativity scene on the wall. As you hang up each piece sing the Christmas song that is listed on it. You can laminate the pieces ahead of time to make them more durable.

Older children can do the Mystery Scripture Story to mark the Christmas story in their scriptures. 

Also included in your lesson bundle is a Christmas coloring page.

Display the Good Tiding of Great Joy print in your home this holiday season.

There are more ideas in the manual on page 196 to include in your studying this week. Prayerfully choose some that will bless your family. We encourage you to spend time with your loved ones and focus on the reason for the season.

“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).
