The Lord Labors with Us

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 13 | March 16 - March 22

Jacob chapter 5 is the longest chapter in The Book of Mormon. It is the allegory of the Olive Tree. We chose to focus the main lesson on this chapter. Start by discussing what allegory means. We have provided a definition of allegory that you can display. 

We recommend listening to Jacob 5 on audio while your family follows along, stopping as you need to for your children to discuss the concepts. The children can color, cut, and paste their vineyard scene as they listen. Have them glue the branches onto the trees each time they hear about a branch being trimmed or grafted in. Take your time making it through this story.

After you finish listening to chapter 5, use the Olive Tree timeline to review what you learned. You can also use the visual aid in the Come Follow Me for Individuals and Families manual on page 49 to help you understand the allegory.

We have a couple of fun missionary activities you can do as bonus ideas throughout the week.  Play with the missionary paper dolls as you discuss what a missionary is and how they can serve the Lord.

Use the missionary tags for each child to enact being a missionary. Consider giving them a mission call and assigning them a mission. Discuss how we can be missionaries now.

Jacob 6:4-5 teaches that Heavenly Father loves us and will forgive us. Make a necklace or badge out of the hearts provided as a reminder that we are loved. Use the song chart to learn and sing the song “My Heavenly Father Loves Me.”

“After Much Tribulation … Cometh the Blessing”

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).

“Be Still and Know That I Am God”

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).

“For the Salvation of Zion”

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.
