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.

Though the writings of Isaiah can be intimidating to study, we are encouraged to dive in and embrace this special part of the Old Testament. Isaiah is unique in that the entire book is written by him, as opposed to the historical texts we read earlier this year. Think about it: the word of the Lord straight from the mouth of an ancient prophet in your own home.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a guidebook on how to be a better parent? On how to have less contention in the home? A word or two on having more patience and kindness? The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom given to David, Solomon, and others who sought the guidance of Heaven. Many verses, when read with prayer and real intent, can answer our prayers when we need heavenly guidance in raising our children, such as this one: “A soft answer turneth away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1).
As we continue through Psalms, we are taught that humility is required to recognize God’s personal affection for each of His children. Heavenly Father knows each of us better than we know ourselves—our thoughts, strengths, and struggles—and offers His scriptures as a light to guide us home through life’s darkness and challenges.
