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.
Ask your child to help you with a simple chore. Tell them that when they help you it makes you happy. Together think of ways you can serve other family members or neighbors. Explain that Jacob served Rachel’s father, Laban, for many years. SIng “When We’re Helping, We’re Happy” (Children’s Songbook pg 198). With your child complete the kindness cookie activity by writing down ways you can show kindness by helping others. Make cookies to deliver to friends and neighbors.
Talk about all the things we learn from Jacob as you color the “What can we learn from Jacob? coloring page.”
Summarize Genesis 29 for your family and point out that Laban was not honest with Jacob. Use the “honesty bundle” to help your children learn more about honesty. There is a lesson for older children and a lesson for younger children. The lessons include instructions for making a wolf mask, coloring a plant honesty and trust will grow coloring page, and four honesty bookmarks that you can color and decorate.
These are just two of the six fun, creative, and engaging activities for this week’s lesson. See your lesson plan page and materials for more activities and QR codes to videos that go along with what we are learning about this week!
Each week the Teen Lesson includes 4 discussion questions, a challenge, QR code to a video made by experienced Seminary teachers, and a scripture print to print off and display.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, March 1st-31st.

Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers did not come after they had paid restitution or offered an apology. He forgave them the moment he realized they had changed from their jealous ways when they offered themselves in place of Benjamin for punishment. How overwhelming it must have been for Joseph to see such love amongst his brothers. His forgiveness came with no strings attached: “be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves” (Genesis 45:5).
In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
