This weeks Come Follow Me FHE lesson is focused on the charity. Place the Heart Attack Hearts all around the room and let the kids guess what the lesson is about. If they say love explain that charity is a fancy word for love.
Read together Moroni 7:47 and talk about how charity means the pure love of Christ. Let everyone think of a story when Christ showed charity.
Introduce the Charity Tree. Come up with acts of service that your family can do during the month of December. Hang this up somewhere in your home and choose an act of charity each day. We bought these scratch off stickers to cover the ornaments after you write on them. Scratch off one each day and complete that act of charity.
Use the Scripture Study Guide to learn more about charity.
Think of someone that could use something to brighten their day. Color and decorate the Heart Attack Hearts. Write compliments or uplifting messages on the hearts and tape them to their door.
Use the Hope in Christ coloring page as a bonus activity this week. Have a discussion about how Christ helps us through hard times.
Read Moroni 7:20-48. Use the Good and Evil Sort activity and talk about how having faith helps us lay hold upon each of these good things.

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.
The Old Testament contains the earliest records of the prophets. Through their words, we learn of Jesus Christ’s role in creating the world and His purpose in doing so. We discover how faith in Christ, obedience, sacrifice, and love help us endure all things.
