This weeks lessons is a great opportunity to learn and teach about Faith. In Hebrews 11 we get to read about some great people who were examples of having faith. Use the cute finger puppets as you read or summarize the story of each person.
A Mystery Scripture Story for Hebrews 11 is included in your materials this week as a bonus activity. You can use it for older children to study right out of the bible about the people in the scriptures that had such great faith.
There are also bible videos available you can use to help teach.
After giving the examples of faithful people discuss as a family how we can have more faith. Use the family definition poster and seeds to come up with your own definition of faith. You can write the definition on the poster and use a seed for each member of the family. Or everyone can write their own definition on a seed and put it on the poster. Display the faith poster in your home all week.
Complete the coloring page to teach that Heavenly Father and Jesus will help us and will never leave us alone.
One of the bonus ideas is to talk about sacrifice and the sacrament. Use the sheep craft and symbols page to help teach about these subjects.

Moses grew from a helpless Hebrew infant to Egyptian royalty. Yet that wasn’t where God needed him. As a refugee, Moses was called to be the most significant prophet of the Old Testament. Through Moses, the Lord redeemed His people, established His covenant, and reminded the world that God will not forget those who follow Him.
Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers did not come after they had paid restitution or offered an apology. He forgave them the moment he realized they had changed from their jealous ways when they offered themselves in place of Benjamin for punishment. How overwhelming it must have been for Joseph to see such love amongst his brothers. His forgiveness came with no strings attached: “be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves” (Genesis 45:5).
In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
