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.
Gather your children’s favorite books and display them and include the scriptures. Play a “guess that book” game by providing clues like characters or the story line. Let them guess what book you are describing. You can take turns giving clues and guessing. Read D&C 109:7. Teach that Heavenly Father wants us to learn from the best books. Testify that the scriptures are true and contain the truths that Heavenly Father wants us to know. Color the coloring page then read some of the books together.
Read D&C 109:9 and teach that salutations mean an action to acknowledge someone, in this case, God. Make a list of salutations we can do to the Lord each day. Introduce the “Our Salutations To The Lord Chart.” Challenge your family to show salutations to God each day this week. Give each person a wristband to help them remember the challenge. Record what your family did each night.
The Standard Activities includes the Simplified activity and more!
Before the lesson cut and prepare the “Popsicle Stick Puzzles.” Read D&C 109:16 and discuss how the temple can be “a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of glory and of God.” Consider sharing experiences of when you have attended the temple to pray, fast, or in faith. Then give the children the popsicle stick puzzle to complete.
This week study D&C 109:12-13 and the song “I Love To See The Temple” on page 95 in the Children’s Songbook. Also read and study the quote in the Come Follow Me Manual for Individuals and Families on page 168 from President Nelson. Think about how you can follow the counsel given to have a regular “appointment with the Lord.” Display the Temple Prints to help you stay focused on the temple this week.
The extra premium materials will only be available in your account during the current month, September 1st-30th.

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, but he found that once they were in the wilderness, it wasn’t so easy to take Egypt out of the Israelites. Even with the many miracles and signs the people had witnessed, they still wanted to return to a life of slavery with every hardship they encountered. If the Israelites were to be the Lord’s chosen people, this could not be.
How did Moses prepare the Israelites to make covenants with the Lord? We read in Exodus 25 that God gave commandments to His people to help them be ready for greater covenant blessings when He would “dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). Even though the Israelites struggled to keep these commandments, they were eventually blessed as they remained true to the Lord. We will also receive all promised blessings as we live our lives in faithfulness.
Following the 10 Plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, you would think that the Israelites were in a powerful place spiritually. They had seen incredible miracles and had sure witnesses that the Lord was with them. Yet, upon facing a shortage of food and water, the people were willing to abandon everything God had done for them and return to slavery: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt… when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness” (Exodus 16:3).
