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.
Tell the story of Joseph providing food and land for his family. Explain that Joseph loved his family and felt happy when he helped them. Read Genesis 45:11, 18-21. Teach that when we show love to our family members we feel happy like Joseph did. Sing “A Happy Family” (Children’s Songbook pg 198a). Play the Love One Another Bean Bag toss game. When your beanbag lands on a picture of a family member, share one way you can show love to them. End with your testimony that Heavenly Father sent us to live in families because He loves us.
Read Genesis 42:1-3 and 45:5-11. Then, as a family, compare Joseph to Jesus Christ by discussing how Joseph saved his brothers and how Christ has saved us. Then make the Jesus Christ Foldable.
As a family learn about different ways the priesthood blesses your lives by playing the priesthood matching game. For the matching game, print the page twice. We recommend printing on cardstock then cutting out the cards and laminating them for durability.

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.
Abraham and Sarah had a lot to worry about. From infertility and famine to war and the safety of their family, it could have been easy to forget their covenants while focusing on their daily concerns. Yet they showed faith by putting the Lord first each day. As a result of keeping their covenants, they knew the Lord would help them throughout their lives. As Abraham told his son, Isaac, “God will provide” (Genesis 22:8). We should follow Abraham’s example of faith and always put the Lord first.
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.
