Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 12 | March 17-23 | Doctrine and Covenants 23-26

The establishment of the Church, while joyous, did not result in peace. Persecutions have always been the world’s reaction to gospel truths. Yet even when troubles arose, the Lord comforted His saints with peace: “Be patient in afflictions, for thou shalt have many; but… I am with thee” (D&C 24:8). Through their trials, the saints grew their faith in Jesus Christ.

When we are faced with trials, we should not think of them as punishments or “bad luck.” All things are meant for our good as children of God. In our families, we grow closer together as we make happy memories and find ways through difficulties. If we endure, we and our families will receive “a crown of righteousness” (D&C 25:15).

THIS WEEK’S COME FOLLOW ME HIGHLIGHTS​

Elementary Bundle Lessons & Activities​

The lesson for this week is simplified but intentional to focus your thoughts and efforts on the Savior and His birth. We hope you take the time to use the activities provided to incorporate the light of Christ into your lives and into this special season

An Elect Lady

Hands-on Activity

Emma Smith was declared “an elect lady” in a revelation in D&C 25. Using the list of attributes in this chapter, compile and complete the An Elect Child Worksheet with your family. Have each person pick one of the attributes to focus and work on this week.

The Power of Music

Surprise Activity

Have your family of times they have felt the Spirit through music. Music is a powerful tool in feeling the Spirit and converting us to the gospel of Jesus Christ, as taught in D&C 25. Play the Hum Your Favorite Hymn Game to focus on how uplifting music draws us closer to Christ, and is a song of righteousness and a prayer.

A Song of the Heart

Coloring Page

Emma Smith was tasked with compiling the first hymnal for the church. In D&C 25 we read that the Lord delights in music! Find your favorite hymns and sing them as a family while you color the “…for my soul delighteth in the song of the heart…” coloring page on uplifting and worthy music.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams.

Dancing and Singing

Go & Do Activity

Before the lesson, compile a list of your family’s favorite Primary songs/hymns. Write them on strips of paper or sticky notes. As a family, read D&C 25:12-13. Teach that Heavenly Father and Jesus want us to be happy, and want us to have the spirit. Explain that good songs, like the ones we sing at church, help us have those good feelings. They make us feel delighted and rejoice, just like the scriptures teach us. Next, take the papers and sprinkle them on the floor. Play freeze dance to a fun wiggle song. Explain to your child that when they hear the music stop, they need to go and jump on one paper and that will be the song that you sing together as a family. You could even mix it up and sing some songs then watch the lyric videos for others. There are a lot of great videos with pictures on YouTube. You could also put together the egg shakers and shake them while you sing some of the songs. Play this game for as long as your child finds it enjoyable.

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

“Our Eyes Are upon Thee”

After many years of living separately, King Hezekiah of Judah invited the people of the Kingdom of Israel to come down to Jerusalem and worship the Lord during the Passover. Many who came to the temple did not remember all the cleansing ordinances and were not fully prepared to participate. Rather than scorn them, Hezekiah made sure that no one who attended Passover was left out: “The good Lord pardon every one that prepareth his heart to seek God” (2 Chronicles 30:18-19). Because of this, “there was great joy” during the Passover in Jerusalem as the people grew closer together in worship (2 Chronicles 30:26).

“He Trusted in the Lord God of Israel”

Josiah was a righteous king of Judah. He desired to bring the people back into their covenant relationship with the Lord, yet there was no way to remember the Law of Moses: the people had forgotten it. However, when ancient scripture texts were found in the temple, Josiah was able to remind his people of the law and blessings of their covenant. The people began to feel God’s presence again as worship of the Savior resumed “with all their heart and all their soul” (2 Kings 23:3).

“There Is a Prophet in Israel”

Miracles are a must-have in parenting. From remembering to take a few breaths when we discover marker all over the couch, to pleading for the health of our little ones when they’re sick, we need miracles every day. The stories of Elisha the Prophet remind us that the Lord is aware of the parent and their child at all times.
