I Can Do All Things through Christ Which Strengtheneth Me

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 43 | October 14 - October 20

Our main focus for this lesson is to be rooted in Christ. Read and study the books of Philippians and Colossians to prepare for this week. Hang up the tree and let everyone talk about what keeps them rooted in Christ. 

There’s even a little personal tree included in the materials for a great handout so everyone can have their own.

We never forget to include a cute coloring page! This week it’s an illustrated version of the 13th Article of Faith. They can work on memorizing it while they color it. 

The reading this week is about Paul writing letters of joy and rejoicing even though he was in prison. This is a good lesson to learn and recognize how we can find happiness and joy even through our trials. As part of the lesson you can set up a table ahead of time of things that make you happy. Talk about each one and why it brings you happiness. Make it interactive by turning it into a memory game. Cover the items with a blanket, remove an item, uncover the items again and see if anyone can guess which item was removed. Hand out the Happy Display pages and let everyone draw things that make them happy. 

One of our favorite parts of the lesson bundle this week was The Don’t Eat Pete game. (You can also use it as your FHE treat! Double win!)

“I Will Order All Things for Your Good”

Have you ever had a powerful spiritual experience and felt the joy of God’s love, only to feel down again when normal life resumes? Or an hour where your children were seemingly perfect and kind to one another, but the rest of the day was awful? This might have been how the early saints felt by the end of the year following the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. Life itself didn’t get easier with the temple’s completion. Financial troubles and increased persecution made enduring to the end difficult for many saints. Yet those who persevered were blessed not only with strength but also with direction on how they could be a blessing to God’s children even amidst their own trials. The Lord’s comforting words to them are extended to us today as we also can help others feel loved during our own struggles: “Let thy heart be of good cheer before my face… for I, the Lord, have a great work for thee to do” (D&C 112:4,6).

“It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness”

March 27, 1836, was a special date both on earth and in heaven. For the first time since 70 AD, a temple of God was available for men and women to worship in. Many saints who were present for the dedication saw angels celebrating the return of temple blessings to the world. The Lord Jesus Christ shared His own joy of the temple’s completion in Doctrine and Covenants 110:6-7, when he said, “let the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, built this house to my name. For behold, I have accepted this house…”.

“The Order of the Son of God”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized according to the Lord’s instructions, as detailed in this week’s reading in the Doctrine and Covenants. One of the ways we can apply the Lord’s guidance in these sections to our families is to establish councils within our homes. We should, with our children, “sit in council with them, and to teach them their duty, edifying one another” (D&C 107:85).
