This week the main lesson is focused on Alma and Amulek in prison. After reading Alma chapter 14 use the story timeline to help summarize the story.
Create the foldable prison and let the children try to summarize the story on their own.
We’ve also included a coloring page that can be colored during the lesson.
Read Alma 13:1-19 and have a discussion about how the priesthood is the power of God. Display the priesthood print and share experiences you’ve had when the priesthood has helped you in your life.
Let each child make a necklace and have them repeat “The priesthood is the power of God.”
There is a neat object lesson that we recommend using for a bonus activity this week. For the object lesson you will need an old white shirt, a pen, and hairspray. Follow the directions provided in your lesson materials.
Use the priesthood string activity for another bonus activity as you discuss how the priesthood brings you closer to Christ.
See your summary sheets for more bonus ideas like having a scavenger hunt. This week also includes scripture story guides.

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
