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.

The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
Have you ever been jealous of your neighbor? The Israelites sure were. They wanted a king to rule over them as other nations had, believing that life would be better and more secure. However, when Israel’s prophet prayed about having a king as a leader, the Lord responded that the people’s jealous desire was actually a rejection of Him as their true King: “they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them” (1 Samuel 8:7). Their need for what others’ possessed had decreased their faith in Him.
The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
