Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 26 | June 24-30 | Alma 13-16

Having finished their missionary message to the people of Ammonihah, Alma and Amulek were thrown into prison. Though they were smitten and mocked for their faith, they did not fear. They knew that God was still with them. In time, they were freed from their bonds in a show of God’s power that left no room for doubt. 

Alma himself testified of the peace that awaited those who spent their lives in service to God, declaring that “they might enter into the rest of the Lord (Alma 13:16). We can also trust in the Lord to bring us comfort in this life and in the life to come as we strive to lead our families in righteousness. Regardless of the trials ahead of us, our faith in God will bring us inevitable peace, joy, and rest.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams. The toddler bundle Includes a full lesson plan with THREE activities that align with scripture written by an early childhood educator. These include a coloring page, another printable activity, and a movement activity that helps young children understand the scriptures. Here are a couple of highlights from this week’s lesson.

Break Free of the Fort

Go & Do Activity

Alma and Almulek were righteous men. They taught about God. People and leaders at the time did not like that, so they threw them in prison. In the scriptures, Alma 14:17-18, 26-28 we learn that they “broke free” with God’s help. Read these verses aloud to your family. God gave them the power to escape because of their great faith. To make this story come to life, build a fort with your family. It can be out of couch cushions, blankets draped over chairs or giant building blocks. Then, put a child inside the fort and let them break free like Alma and Amulek did. As they do they can shout out loud, “When I have faith in God, He will help me break free from my trials.” Build the fort again and repeat until each child in the family has had a turn.

The toddler bundle includes a lesson plan and three activities every week. Grab the toddler bundle in our subscription.

“I Will Order All Things for Your Good”

Have you ever had a powerful spiritual experience and felt the joy of God’s love, only to feel down again when normal life resumes? Or an hour where your children were seemingly perfect and kind to one another, but the rest of the day was awful? This might have been how the early saints felt by the end of the year following the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. Life itself didn’t get easier with the temple’s completion. Financial troubles and increased persecution made enduring to the end difficult for many saints. Yet those who persevered were blessed not only with strength but also with direction on how they could be a blessing to God’s children even amidst their own trials. The Lord’s comforting words to them are extended to us today as we also can help others feel loved during our own struggles: “Let thy heart be of good cheer before my face… for I, the Lord, have a great work for thee to do” (D&C 112:4,6).

“It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness”

March 27, 1836, was a special date both on earth and in heaven. For the first time since 70 AD, a temple of God was available for men and women to worship in. Many saints who were present for the dedication saw angels celebrating the return of temple blessings to the world. The Lord Jesus Christ shared His own joy of the temple’s completion in Doctrine and Covenants 110:6-7, when he said, “let the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, built this house to my name. For behold, I have accepted this house…”.

“The Order of the Son of God”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized according to the Lord’s instructions, as detailed in this week’s reading in the Doctrine and Covenants. One of the ways we can apply the Lord’s guidance in these sections to our families is to establish councils within our homes. We should, with our children, “sit in council with them, and to teach them their duty, edifying one another” (D&C 107:85).
