Though we have reached the end of the Doctrine and Covenants, the work of the Restoration is still ongoing: “We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God” (Articles of Faith 1:9). Prophets still reveal the will of God. The Church is still growing to fill the Earth.
In our homes, parents still call upon the Lord to seek guidance in leading their families. The principles we have learned this year in receiving revelation apply to how we raise our children. Eternal truths matter, starting with, “We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost (Articles of Faith 1:1).

Coloring Activity
This week’s fun coloring activity focuses on the 3rd Article of Faith and will help your children see the connection between Jesus’ birth, Atonement and resurrection. As you color, work on memorizing the 3rd Article of Faith.
Hands-On Activity
Read the 5th Article of Faith. Discuss how we have prophets and apostles in our lives who lead and guide us. Similar to the three wise men who followed the star to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem, we too can follow stars when we are hiking. We can look to the North Star, which will always lead you to the true North. Because of Jesus Christ and His Atonement, we have the chance to repent and turn toward Him in times of need, just like the star! Then, play the North Star Board Game as a family!
Go & Do Activity
Read the 12th Article of Faith. Discuss as a family what type of government your have in your country. Do you have a President? King? Prime Minister? What about in your community? Do you have a mayor and city council? A court with a judge and lawyers? This article reminds all members of the Church to be law-abiding citizens and to honor and obey the law. Collect paper, envelopes, markers and crayons to write thank you notes to your local law enforcement and government officers.

Practice counting to 13 while your child jumps or claps. Next, introduce the numbers and have them practice counting to 13 by pointing to each number on the mats. Have your child place a small snack, such as a Cheerio, on each number as they practice counting. Read the Articles of Faith on the bottom of the mats. Talk about what the Articles of Faith mean to you.

By the time the Israelites had their third king, the nation split into two groups: the 10 tribes in the north, forming the Kingdom of Israel, and the remaining two tribes in the south, forming the Kingdom of Judah. The Lord called a mighty prophet, Elijah, to remind His people of their true King: Jehovah (Jesus Christ). Elijah testified to the people that their idol worship was taking them farther away from God.
Going from tabernacle to temple was a big deal for the Israelites. So big, in fact, that even those building the temple had to be worthy of the task. David’s sin in his lust for Bathsheba disqualified him to build the Lord’s house, resulting in his son Solomon completing it. For building the temple with a pure heart, the Lord promised Solomon that so long as he kept the commandments, “I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people” (1 Kings 6:13).
The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
