We are so excited to start studying the Doctrine and Covenants this year. 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.
Before the lesson hide the pictures provided in your materials around the room or around your house. Begin by asking your child if they have ever had to search for something and how they felt when they found it. Let the child use the magnify glass to find the pictures you hid. Teach that when we search the scriptures we find the words of Jesus Christ and we also find happiness.
Use the “How Did We Get The Doctrine and Covenants Flipbook” to help teach the lesson. Allow the children to hold the flipbook and read aloud. Let them be the teacher. Have a discussion about how our church might be different without the revelations contained in Doctrine and Covenants.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Begin by reading D&C 1:37-38. As a family think of things the prophet has asked us to do. Specifically discuss verse 38. If the prophet tells us something it is the same as if the Lord told us. Play the Follow the Prophet Go Fish Game.
Read together D&C 1:31. Follow the directions provided in your materials to make your own compass. Teach your children how a compass works. Relate it our spiritual compass and how we need to always make sure it is pointing to God. Explore with your compass.
The extra premium materials will be available in account during the current month. Your “Merry Mail” for December are these beautiful focus prints. There is one for each month of the year with a powerful verse from the Doctrine and Covenants to display in your home. We hope these help bring the spirit to your home.
Here is a sneak peak at the extra goodies you’ll will get in January.

Parenting is not easy. The experiences of Adam and Eve show that being a parent has never been without trials and heartache. Yet through raising their family, they learned true happiness comes as we try to follow Jesus Christ. Eve said without the pain that had happened in her life, she “never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth” (Moses 5:11).
At the start of each new year, parents plan out activities and events for their family to do during the next 12 months. We hope to make happy memories, build our children’s character, and provide a refuge of emotional and spiritual support during hard times that will inevitably come. We want the best for our family and hope that at the end of the year, we will reflect on how good a year it was.
God knew the purpose of His creation before He began His work. As He told Moses, “This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (Moses 1:39). That purpose is the “why” for everything God does, including why He loves each of us.
