“The Rise of the Church of Christ”

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 11 | March 10 - March 16 | Doctrine and Covenants 18

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

“No Weapon That Is Formed against You Shall Prosper”

Each day, we face trials and setbacks in our lives. From bad weather and traffic to messy homes and sick kids, difficulties seem like they won’t stop coming. We must choose to carry on and plead with our Heavenly Father for help and to see the good in our lives. He will always answer those prayers and allow us to see our progress in the path that leads back into His presence.

“Worth … the Riches of the Whole Earth”

We often keep things of value in special places: important documents kept in a secured file or safe, dinner china in a display cabinet, or treats too good to share with kids up on the top shelf. These things are kept safe and out of easy reach for good reasons, but there are other things of value we need to make sure are always available to us. Our scriptures are one of these things.

“The Lord Requireth the Heart and a Willing Mind”

We all make mistakes as parents. Sometimes our attention is wrongly distracted from a child’s needs, or perhaps we raised our voice in anger when we should have been calm. Do we seek forgiveness from both the Lord and our children when we do these things? Do we sincerely forgive our children when they err? As the Savior Jesus Christ plainly explains in Doctrine and Covenants 64, forgiveness is a crucial component of achieving peace in the home.
