This Come Follow Me lesson has a different format then the others. There will be a short lesson and activity each day. There are eight activities so be sure to start on Sunday or double up one of the days to get through all of them.
Throughout the week you will be following the timeline for the last week of Christ’s life. Complete the activity for each day and then hang the image in a timeline in your home. You can use string and clothespins or masking tape.
On Wednesday you get to learn about the 10 Virgins. You could consider buying an oil lamp and teaching around it’s light. Use the paper oil lamps to discuss how we can be prepared to meet the Lord. Use the wordstrips to help teach about the symbolism of the parable and read the quote by President Kimball.
On Friday the topic is the Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial. We love using our felt set from j.m.porium to help teach in a simple way.
On Sunday discuss the Resurrection. Read the scriptures listed in the timeline and sing songs about the Resurrection. Use the Symbols of Christ’s Resurrection Egg Set activity to review what you have learned all week.

This week’s lesson from Psalms (Psalms 49–51; 61–66; 69–72; 77–78; 85–86) centers on God’s endless mercy, forgiveness, and role as our safe refuge. The psalmists openly share their struggles, fears, and mistakes, showing us that faith isn’t about being perfect—it’s about knowing who to turn to when we need help.
In modern times, the Lord declared “the song of the heart is a prayer unto me” (Doctrine and Covenants 25:12). In ancient times, songs, or psalms, were used to praise the Lord and remember His covenants with His people. Many Psalms are attributed to King David, whose relationship with God is one of the most detailed in the entire Old Testament. It’s no wonder David is thought to be the author of so many songs that praise the Lord for His strength, His mercy, His patience with His children, and His eternal love for all mankind.
Job had many blessings in his life: a large family, a devoted spouse, and wealth that provided plenty and more for his household. Job gave thanks to God for his blessings, but even when nearly every blessing was taken away, he did not lessen his faith. Instead, as those around him said his faith had been a waste of time, Job showed his trust in the Lord by exercising Christlike patience and long suffering. Eventually, Job’s faith was rewarded, and his trust in God was justified.
