Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 34 | August 19-25 | Alma 53-63

Have you ever been through a difficult trial you felt would never end? While we often must wait for answers to prayers, we can rely on our family and friends to help us and point us towards Jesus Christ. Years of fighting between Lamanites and Nephites must have weighed heavily on Moroni, Healaman, and Pahoran. Their relationship was critical for supporting each other during this troubling period.

As your family goes through this week’s lesson, be prepared to share experiences from your life that have strengthened you and helped you stay firm in the faith, no matter how difficult or how long the trial.

This week’s Come Follow Me FHE lessons teaches principles straight from the scriptures. They include everything you need to make Come, Follow Me fun for your kids! Join our membership for only $10 a month, and you’ll gain access to a treasure trove of resources to strengthen your family’s spiritual foundation and growth.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams. The toddler bundle Includes a full lesson plan with THREE activities that align with scripture written by an early childhood educator. These include a coloring page, another printable activity, and a movement activity that helps young children understand the scriptures. Here are a couple of highlights from this week’s lesson.

 

Calming Down as Peacemakers

Go & Do Activity

Teach your child about Pahoran’s example and his reaction when he was accused of not helping Moroni when he needed it. Pahoran chose not to be angry at what Moroni had written to him. Read Alma 61:9. Ask your child, “Have you ever been angry when someone said you did something you didn’t?” You could provide them relevant examples like a time when a sibling got upset that his special toy was taken but it wasn’t you who took it. Ask, “How did that make you feel?” Talk about how it’s important to control our anger especially when there are misunderstandings involved. Play the “Animal Calm Down Cards” with your child while giving them strategies they can use to soften their anger. Draw one card at a time and have them do a similar action to what that animal would do.

The toddler bundle includes a lesson plan and three activities every week. Grab the toddler bundle in our subscription.

“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).
