This week is going to be so much fun! We are going to have a party!
Before the lesson be sure to read Revelations 1-11 and ponder on what it is teaching. You may feel inspired to summarize some of the main ideas you learn about in your study with your family. You’ll also want to prepare for the activities in this lesson ahead of time.
As a family read Revelation 3:20 while looking at the picture in the manual on page 193. Talk about ways you can invite Christ into your life, home, and heart.
Decorate your home for a birthday party. We’ve included a banner in your materials to use. Complete the invitation with a date (can be later that evening or another day of the week). Let each child write how they will invite Christ into their lives. You can talk about it as a family and make a poster to hang up next to the banner.
Now it’s time to party! Color the party hats to wear during the party and complete the cupcake craft. You can color the cupcake or use paint or glitter.
Light candles, sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and eat cake and ice cream as a fun way to celebrate Christ’s birth.
Your lesson bundle also includes paper bracelets for the kids to wear all week to remember to invite Christ into our lives.
See our summary page for a bonus idea on how to play hide and seek. with these cute lambs. Be sure to talk about how Christ cares about each of us as you play.

The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ renewed the truth that Christ was born to save all mankind. Through His mortal ministry, His suffering in Gethsemane and on the cross, His ministry in the Spirit World, and His resurrection, He offers healing to all our sorrows and pains. What greater gift could we be given than that?
Every family comes with their own set of trials and blessings. Parents and children alike have both memorable times together, as well as times in which forgiveness is needed to move forward in love and harmony. As the Proclamation teaches, Jesus Christ is the key to strengthening bonds and repairing relationships that break: “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ultimately, all we do as a family in righteousness prepares us to live with God, exalted, as a family in heaven.
Though we have reached the end of the Doctrine and Covenants, the work of the Restoration is still ongoing: “We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God” (Articles of Faith 1:9). Prophets still reveal the will of God. The Church is still growing to fill the Earth.
