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.

The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
What does the perfect parent look like? Is it someone who never yells? Who is always present with their children? Maybe it’s someone who cooks food that the kids never complain about. The Book of Judges teaches us that even with specific rules and expectations, the children of Israel had a habit of returning to sin and idolatry time and time again. Even after they sinned or complained yet again, the Lord always invited them to start new and return to Him.
Most of the Israelites heading into the Promised Land had been born in the wilderness. Few remembered the treacherous journey across the bottom of the Red Sea, yet all would experience the miracle again as they crossed the Jordan River on dry ground. This time, however, it was not a crowd of fleeing former slaves who worshipped golden calves. It was the camp of Israel, a covenant-making people who had proven their faithfulness to the Lord.
