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.

Abraham lived a life of violence and peace, of trauma and healing, and of promises and faith. Through every trial, Abraham trusted in the Lord and chose to follow Him even when his world was at its darkest. He was rewarded with a covenant that encompasses all of God’s children and will last into the eternities. This covenant and its blessings are extended to our families today.
The phrase, “found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Moses 8:27), has at least two meanings that can bless our families. One is that Noah lived in a way that allowed the Lord to strengthen him and his family during difficult circumstances. A second meaning is that Noah discovered the peace that comes from looking at life through God’s eyes. By looking at life with an eternal perspective, Noah “walked with God, as did also his three sons” (Moses 8:27) even in a world filled with wickedness.
In less than one generation, the world God created was filled with wickedness. One exception was Enoch, a prophet who taught his people how to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Enoch talked with God, he was amazed to see that the Divine Creator would cry at the fall of His children: “How is it thou canst weep?” (Moses 7:31). God responded, “They are the workmanship of mine own hands” (Moses 7:32). He was sad because each child of God is precious to Him. He grieves for each one of us when our choices take us away from Him.
