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.

“A Voice of Gladness for the Living and the Dead”

Even during the early years in Nauvoo, there were times when the Prophet Joseph still had to flee for his life from those who sought to stop the work. Yet even in hiding, he continued to keep his focus on the restoration of the gospel, specifically with baptisms for the dead. “That subject seems to occupy my mind, and press itself upon my feelings the strongest, since I have been pursued by my enemies” (Doctrine and Covenants 128:1). No matter what trials he faced, Joseph never forgot his calling to restore Christ’s Church.

“A House Unto My Name”

Building the city of Nauvoo was not the first time the Saints had to begin again, but it was the first time they could start new from the ground up. As the saints gathered from Missouri to build this new city, many were sick and still reeling from the harsh persecution they had suffered. The Prophet Joseph administered to the saints, healing them both physically and spiritually. Through His Prophet, the Lord promised the saints that, “If ye labor with all your might, I will consecrate that spot that it shall be made holy” (Doctrine and Covenants 124:44)

“O God, Where Are Thou?”

The recent passing of President Russell M. Nelson brings to memory his last conference talk, where he quoted verses from this week’s section: Doctrine and Covenants 121. President Nelson referenced D&C 121:45, where the Lord shares that having confidence “in the presence of God” comes from having charity and virtue. Additionally, we’re told that if we have charity and virtue, we will have a greater understanding of “the doctrine of the priesthood.”
