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!)

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).
