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.

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, but he found that once they were in the wilderness, it wasn’t so easy to take Egypt out of the Israelites. Even with the many miracles and signs the people had witnessed, they still wanted to return to a life of slavery with every hardship they encountered. If the Israelites were to be the Lord’s chosen people, this could not be.
How did Moses prepare the Israelites to make covenants with the Lord? We read in Exodus 25 that God gave commandments to His people to help them be ready for greater covenant blessings when He would “dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). Even though the Israelites struggled to keep these commandments, they were eventually blessed as they remained true to the Lord. We will also receive all promised blessings as we live our lives in faithfulness.
Following the 10 Plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, you would think that the Israelites were in a powerful place spiritually. They had seen incredible miracles and had sure witnesses that the Lord was with them. Yet, upon facing a shortage of food and water, the people were willing to abandon everything God had done for them and return to slavery: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt… when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness” (Exodus 16:3).
