God Is Love

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 50 | December 2 - December 8

Can you believe its already time to start preparing your lesson for the first week of December? We’ve almost made it an entire year doing the Come Follow Me curriculum! We hope our lessons have blessed your family and have brought an increase of the Spirit into your homes. We know this is a busy time of year but want to encourage you to remember to do Come Follow Me. We have some fun lessons and activities ahead to get us through the rest of the year.

This weeks lessons is “God is Love.” Start your lesson by reading John 13:23 and 20:2. It talks about John’s experience feeling the Savior’s love. One way we can show the Savior that we love him is by keeping the commandments.

Print and hang the God Is Love tree. This can be hung in your home all month long. Let everyone put an ornament on the tree and read what it says aloud.

Read 1 John 4:12 (including the Joseph Smith Translation) and talk about people in the scriptures that have seen God. Do the trust fall activity and relate it to this verse.

Read and discuss 1 John chapter 5 and the section in the manual on page 187 under “As I exercise faith….” Use the coloring page to help teach the truths taught in these readings.

You can also use the fun “Contend For The Faith matching game” to help teach the principles in the reading for this week, 1-3 John and Jude.

One of the bonus activities this week is to read 1 John 2:8-11. Walk into a dark room and talk about how it feels to be in the dark. Turn on a flashlight and then talk about how loving others brings light into our lives. We’ve provided a light print you can give each child. You may consider attaching it to a small flashlight.

Now that it’s December it’s time to change your monthly focus print. We hope you have enjoyed these focus prints all year. We are so excited to have a new set next year for Book of Mormon. Watch for them to come to our shop soon!

“A House Unto My Name”

Building the city of Nauvoo was not the first time the Saints had to begin again, but it was the first time they could start new from the ground up. As the saints gathered from Missouri to build this new city, many were sick and still reeling from the harsh persecution they had suffered. The Prophet Joseph administered to the saints, healing them both physically and spiritually. Through His Prophet, the Lord promised the saints that, “If ye labor with all your might, I will consecrate that spot that it shall be made holy” (Doctrine and Covenants 124:44)

“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…”.
