For this week’s Come Follow Me Lesson, focus on the Christmas story. We have provided 12 Nativity Pieces you can use in several ways. Use one of our ideas or come up with your own.
Put the nativity pieces on popsicle sticks, magnets, or transfer paper for felt and let the children use them to tell the story of Christmas.
Use the nativity pieces with names on them. Punch a hole in the top and tie string around it to make a name tag. Assign everyone a character to play and act out the Christmas story as a family.
On the back of the nativity pieces write a Christmas song (suggestions can be found on the lesson summary page). Let each person choose a piece one at a time, sing the song, and let that person add the character to the nativity.
Use the Scripture Story Guide to study about the Christmas story in the scriptures.
Let each person make a Christmas Ornament. Discuss what you’ve learned throughout the year from the Book of Mormon.
We’ve also included a Christmas Coloring Page.

Miracles are a must-have in parenting. From remembering to take a few breaths when we discover marker all over the couch, to pleading for the health of our little ones when they’re sick, we need miracles every day. The stories of Elisha the Prophet remind us that the Lord is aware of the parent and their child at all times.
By the time the Israelites had their third king, the nation split into two groups: the 10 tribes in the north, forming the Kingdom of Israel, and the remaining two tribes in the south, forming the Kingdom of Judah. The Lord called a mighty prophet, Elijah, to remind His people of their true King: Jehovah (Jesus Christ). Elijah testified to the people that their idol worship was taking them farther away from God.
Going from tabernacle to temple was a big deal for the Israelites. So big, in fact, that even those building the temple had to be worthy of the task. David’s sin in his lust for Bathsheba disqualified him to build the Lord’s house, resulting in his son Solomon completing it. For building the temple with a pure heart, the Lord promised Solomon that so long as he kept the commandments, “I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people” (1 Kings 6:13).
