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.

Returning to Jerusalem after 70 years in captivity, the Israelites were eager to restore that which they had lost. The prophets Ezra and Nehemiah helped lead the people in rebuilding the wall around the city and in repairing the temple. But this was more than rebuilding their place of worship: it was a return to their covenants with God.
After many years of living separately, King Hezekiah of Judah invited the people of the Kingdom of Israel to come down to Jerusalem and worship the Lord during the Passover. Many who came to the temple did not remember all the cleansing ordinances and were not fully prepared to participate. Rather than scorn them, Hezekiah made sure that no one who attended Passover was left out: “The good Lord pardon every one that prepareth his heart to seek God” (2 Chronicles 30:18-19). Because of this, “there was great joy” during the Passover in Jerusalem as the people grew closer together in worship (2 Chronicles 30:26).
Josiah was a righteous king of Judah. He desired to bring the people back into their covenant relationship with the Lord, yet there was no way to remember the Law of Moses: the people had forgotten it. However, when ancient scripture texts were found in the temple, Josiah was able to remind his people of the law and blessings of their covenant. The people began to feel God’s presence again as worship of the Savior resumed “with all their heart and all their soul” (2 Kings 23:3).
