The Son of Man Shall Come

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 23 | May 27 - June 2
This week is special! You have fun invitations to deliver, gifts to open and a banner to decorate your home! Be prepared to make meaningful memories and celebrate with your family all while you learn from the bible. What? Is that even possible? I thought studying the bible with young children was frustrating and dull? Well parents, not today and not with our materials!
Promise!
The reading in the bible this week is Joseph Smith -Matthew 1, Matthew 25, Mark 12-13 and Luke 21. I love that we get to read out of the Joseph Smith translation that really does restore some precious truths. This print is to be displayed and said aloud as you read and discuss. I showed this video about being a missionary daily to show there are lots of ways to be a missionary without being called at age 18 or 19. Elder Uchtdorf spoke on missionary work and this would be a great addition to your lesson this week as well. 

 

These missionary tags are adorable! My kids loved that they look so real. I laminated mine and printed on card stock and attached with a safety pin. See the instructions in the lesson materials of how to customize your missionary tags for your family. 

 

 

We enjoyed learning about each others talents! We discussed the difference between physical and spiritual gifts and talents. We opened gifts from these cute colorful boxes which my kids LOVED! We sorted the images and read about the parable of the talents from the bible. 

 

Our coloring page created by the lovely Wood Coop are always a hit too! 
What a great way to teach that our Heavenly Father really does expect us to use our gifts wisely. We each have a part in spreading the gospel to all the world and certainly our spiritual and physical gifts can help us do that. 

Don’t forget to check out all our bonus ideas on your summary each week too! We have put the family talent show invites in our shop as a FREE download to anyone who would like to grab them. What a fun way to bring our talents to life!

 

If you are needing daily reminders to help keep you on top of teaching your family in your home be sure to follow us on Instagram. Each week I coach parents through the lesson, discuss the materials and explain them more in depth. It is a great opportunity to get some ideas especially if you are feeling stuck.

“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).
