Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 11 | March 10-16 | Doctrine and Covenants 20-22

Imagine what it must have been like to witness the first sacrament meeting in the latter days. Conducted by the Prophet Joseph, the early saints met to pray, sing, partake of the sacrament, and officially organize themselves as The Church of Jesus Christ. It was a day literally centuries in the making.

The work of the Lord in restoring His Church is something we can all take part in. As we read in section 20, “God does inspire men (and women) and call them to his holy work” (D&C 20:11). We can each invite others to come unto Christ, make covenants with Him through His restored Church, and help unite families for all eternity.

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

Blessed By Baptism

Scripture Study

As a family, read D&C 22 about baptizing with the correct authority. Then, have the person in your family who was most recently baptized share their experience. What happened? What feelings did they have? What was their favorite part? Who baptized them, and who gave them the authority to baptize? Finish by reading D&C 20:37 and share your testimony of baptism.

Word Art

Surprise Activity

Read D&C 21:1-5. Use the I Can Follow The Prophet collage page, and let children rip pictures out of magazines, draw pictures, or use pictures of themselves to show ways that they are following the prophet.

Ye Shall Receive

Coloring Page

Read D&C 21:5 and talk about how our prophet speaks by the power of the Holy Ghost. Then let children color the “For his word ye shall receive…” coloring page while you talk about some things our prophet talked about in the last General Conference.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

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

Join the Team of Christ

Go & Do Activity

Show your child a team jersey or uniform. Let your child try it on! (If you don’t have a jersey, show a picture of someone wearing a jersey.) Explain that when someone wears this jersey, it shows that they are a member of a team! They represent the team and work together with other team members to do their best. Show a picture of Jesus Christ. Teach that we become members of Jesus Christ’s team when we join His true church. We do not wear a jersey, instead, we get baptized, follow Christ’s example and teach others about His gospel. Place the playdough mats into clear page protectors, laminate or cover with plastic wrap. With your child, recreate the images by pressing playdough onto the mats. Share what blessings you receive from being on Christ’s team.

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).
