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.
Turn off the lights in the room. If you have a Christmas star, light the star. Or light a candle or lantern. Explain that when Jesus was born a new star appeared. The wise men saw the star and knew that Jesus was born. They followed the star to find Him. Decorate the “Star Wands” and sing “Stars Were Gleaming” (Children’s Songbook pg. 37). Share your testimony about how you can follow the light of Jesus in your life.
Play the “Roll and Sing Game” to sing some Christmas songs. Roll two dice. Place a piece of candy or small sticker on the number you roll. Sing the song under the number you rolled. Keep playing until each number is covered.

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.
