We have multiple Come Follow Me subscriptions and multiple activities in each subscription to help you find what works best for your family. Our goal is to help families come closer to Christ and we’ve worked really hard on providing more options to help achieve our goal.
Shine a flashlight in the room and talk about how the flashlight lights the darkness. Then turn on the light in the room and explain how the room light provides even more light then the flashlight. Ask your children what gives light to the whole world? The sun! The gospel of Jesus Christ brings His light to the whole world too. Read D&C 106:5. Discuss ways we can help light the world, by sharing the gospel and giving service. Color and cut out the “sun mask.” Have your child hold the sun mask around their head and sing “Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam.”
Learn about the priesthood by doing “The Priesthood Sort.” Before starting place the cutout illustration of the Aaronic Priesthood and Melchizedek Priesthood on envelopes. Cut each strip and mix them up. Take turns drawing a piece of paper. Read the scripture and sort it in the correct envelope. After completing the sort, sing some songs about the priesthood.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Read D&C 108:3. Using the “Carefully Living My Covenants Brings Blessings Activity” review the covenants we’ve made or will make and how we can “bee” a covenant keeper. Then let each person make a “bee craft.” You can attach the bee to a popsicle stick and let the children fly the around the room. Or attach a straw to the back of the bee, pull a string through the straw and attach the sting on objects across from each other. Blow the bee down the sting to make it look like it’s flying.
Read D&C 107:21-26, 33-35 and 65-66. Discuss how the Lord leads His church through His servants. Play the “First Presidency and Apostles Match Game.” This is a great opportunity to start to prepare your family for General Conference.

Abraham lived a life of violence and peace, of trauma and healing, and of promises and faith. Through every trial, Abraham trusted in the Lord and chose to follow Him even when his world was at its darkest. He was rewarded with a covenant that encompasses all of God’s children and will last into the eternities. This covenant and its blessings are extended to our families today.
The phrase, “found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Moses 8:27), has at least two meanings that can bless our families. One is that Noah lived in a way that allowed the Lord to strengthen him and his family during difficult circumstances. A second meaning is that Noah discovered the peace that comes from looking at life through God’s eyes. By looking at life with an eternal perspective, Noah “walked with God, as did also his three sons” (Moses 8:27) even in a world filled with wickedness.
In less than one generation, the world God created was filled with wickedness. One exception was Enoch, a prophet who taught his people how to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Enoch talked with God, he was amazed to see that the Divine Creator would cry at the fall of His children: “How is it thou canst weep?” (Moses 7:31). God responded, “They are the workmanship of mine own hands” (Moses 7:32). He was sad because each child of God is precious to Him. He grieves for each one of us when our choices take us away from Him.
