Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 8 | February 17-23 | Doctrine and Covenants 12–17; Joseph Smith—History 1:66–75

As the Book of Mormon was being translated, there must have been so much new information that Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery read from the gold plates: prayer, baptism, and the atonement of Christ to name just a few. Nephi’s direction that all must “take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism” (2 Nephi 31:13) might have prompted questions on whether or not they should be baptized.

In response to their study and prayer, Joseph and Oliver were visited by angels, given the Aaronic priesthood, and the authority to baptize one another. As we also study the words of God and pray about their meaning, we can be enlightened with revelation for our own lives.

Aaronic Authority

Scripture Study

Read D&C 13 as a family. Discuss why the ordination of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery to the Aaronic priesthood is important. As a family, complete the Responsibilities of Aaronic Priesthood Holders sheet that shows what those with the Aaronic Priesthood have the authority to do. Share experiences you have had with those who hold this priesthood and how it blesses your life.

Read the Proclamation!

Go & Do Activity

In the year 2020, the 200th anniversary of Joseph Smith’s First Vision was celebrated through a Bicentennial Proclamation to the World. Watch and read the proclamation as a family. Then, discuss how you feel. Send the video link to family members and challenge them to watch or read the proclamation during their Come, Follow Me lesson this week.

Missionaries are serving all around the world right now! You might even know someone serving right now! Read D&C 12 about those called to be missionaries.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

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

Choose Christ!

Go & Do Activity

Prepare The Right Way maze arrows and signs. Before your lesson, create a maze by placing them around your home using tape. As a family, read D&C 14:7 and teach that Heavenly Father has given us a plan and a way to return to Him one day. When we are happy and making the right choices, we are on the right path back to Him. Keeping the commandments or doing the things Jesus asks us to do is another way to stay on the right path. One of the biggest blessings of choosing the right is eternal life and happiness. Sing or play “Choose the Right Way” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 160) as you complete your maze. Let your children make their own mazes throughout the week as a reminder to choose the right way back to Jesus Christ!

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.”
