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!)

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.
