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.

Abraham lived a life of violence and peace, of trauma and healing, and of promises and faith. Through every trial, Abraham trusted in the Lord and chose to follow Him even when his world was at its darkest. He was rewarded with a covenant that encompasses all of God’s children and will last into the eternities. This covenant and its blessings are extended to our families today.
The phrase, “found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Moses 8:27), has at least two meanings that can bless our families. One is that Noah lived in a way that allowed the Lord to strengthen him and his family during difficult circumstances. A second meaning is that Noah discovered the peace that comes from looking at life through God’s eyes. By looking at life with an eternal perspective, Noah “walked with God, as did also his three sons” (Moses 8:27) even in a world filled with wickedness.
In less than one generation, the world God created was filled with wickedness. One exception was Enoch, a prophet who taught his people how to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Enoch talked with God, he was amazed to see that the Divine Creator would cry at the fall of His children: “How is it thou canst weep?” (Moses 7:31). God responded, “They are the workmanship of mine own hands” (Moses 7:32). He was sad because each child of God is precious to Him. He grieves for each one of us when our choices take us away from Him.
