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.

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).
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).
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.
