Begin this Come Follow Me lesson by singing Because I Have Been Given Much. Point out the line that says “I too must give” and discuss that one things we can give is our tithing. Read 3 Nephi 24:10, and complete the 1/10 activity.
After teaching how much 1/10 is let the children practice filling out a tithing slip and envelope.
Then complete the windows of heaven activity.
For a wiggle break sing the song Scripture Power. Read 3 Nephi 20:10-12, 23 and 26:1-12. Teach that the Lord wants us to diligently search the prophets’ words. Let each person set a goal for how they will study the scriptures. Give each person a Book of Mormon punch card to track their progress.
End the lesson with a fun scripture study. Use the Book of Mormon Jr and Sr Scavenger Hunts. Then share your testimony of scripture study.
You can use the Scripture Story Guides this week as you study the scriptures.
Another bonus activity this week is to teach about Family History. Explain that there are many ways for us to participate in Family History. Use the coloring page to discuss a few of those ideas.

Learning is a lifelong journey. While we tend to think of our years in school as the only time in life when we need to gain an education, we know through Doctrine and Covenants 88 that the Lord instructs His faithful to create places of learning in their own homes (D&C 88:119). How do we do that?
Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we had planned: dinner gets burnt, the car won’t start, or you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. You’ve been promised blessings for keeping the commandments. It might be tempting to wonder where those blessings are when ill fortune strikes.
What is “godliness?” Doctrine and Covenants Section 84 uses the word to describe the way that God prepares us to return to live with Him one day. We do this by inviting our children to be baptized and prepare for the temple. Through participating in priesthood ordinances, we increase our access to the priesthood and experience “the power of godliness” as we come to see God’s presence in our lives every day (Doctrine and Covenants 84:20).
