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.
Enjoy these simple activities during this Christmas season.
We know Christmas can get busy with get togethers, family time and other events. So we have made a simple lesson plan this week that you can do in one night, or spread over the week to help you celebrate Christmas.
Read the story “Teach the Children.” Learn about the symbols of Christmas we see all around us at Christmas time and how they relate to Christ. Use the ornaments as you learn about each symbol and discuss each name of Christ.
Roll two dice and sing the song on the corresponding star. Mark the star with a little candy, cereal, sticker, or other small object. Continue rolling and singing until all the stars are covered.
Print, cut, and tape or glue each nativity finger puppet. Use the finger puppets to act out the Christmas story from memory or as you read the Christmas story from Luke 2.
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, December 1st-31st.
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.

This week’s lesson from Psalms (Psalms 49–51; 61–66; 69–72; 77–78; 85–86) centers on God’s endless mercy, forgiveness, and role as our safe refuge. The psalmists openly share their struggles, fears, and mistakes, showing us that faith isn’t about being perfect—it’s about knowing who to turn to when we need help.
In modern times, the Lord declared “the song of the heart is a prayer unto me” (Doctrine and Covenants 25:12). In ancient times, songs, or psalms, were used to praise the Lord and remember His covenants with His people. Many Psalms are attributed to King David, whose relationship with God is one of the most detailed in the entire Old Testament. It’s no wonder David is thought to be the author of so many songs that praise the Lord for His strength, His mercy, His patience with His children, and His eternal love for all mankind.
Job had many blessings in his life: a large family, a devoted spouse, and wealth that provided plenty and more for his household. Job gave thanks to God for his blessings, but even when nearly every blessing was taken away, he did not lessen his faith. Instead, as those around him said his faith had been a waste of time, Job showed his trust in the Lord by exercising Christlike patience and long suffering. Eventually, Job’s faith was rewarded, and his trust in God was justified.
