Question and Prompt pages-Be Ye Reconciled unto God
The first tool I have for you is the Question and Prompt pages. I have one for the primary lesson as well as the Sunday school lesson. These are the backbone of your lesson. The “outline” if you will. These are literal questions you can ask your class. They will lead you through the entire lesson and will also include important scriptures as well.
Family Activity for Be Ye Reconciled unto God
The first Idea I’ve created this week is a simple activity for families. This idea comes from the following CFM prompt:
To Jacob, teaching the word of God was more than an assignment from his brother—it was an “errand from the Lord,” so he labored diligently to “magnify [his] office” (Jacob 1:17, 19). President Gordon B. Hinckley taught that we magnify our callings “as we serve with diligence, as we teach with faith and testimony, as we lift and strengthen and build convictions of righteousness in those whose lives we touch” (“Magnify Your Calling,” Ensign, May 1989, 47). Think about your own “[errands] from the Lord” as you read Jacob 1:6–8, 15–19 and 2:1–11. Why did Jacob serve so faithfully? What does his example inspire you to do to magnify your Church callings and your responsibilities at home?
You will find a “magnify page with scriptures to read about different ways we can magnify our callings both at home and at church. There is a printable of a conference talk titled ” The Lord leads his church” to also aid this discussion. Lastly I have created some fun thank you cards for you to write thank you card to the various leaders who serve you at church. This would be a great family home evening activity.
Primary Ideas for Come Follow Me Week 11-Be Ye Reconciled unto God
Next I want to share with you a primary idea. Last year I illustrated some different pictures of our apostles and prophet. I felt it was tie to give those a refresh. You will see them below. They go along with our lesson main idea:
God calls church leaders to help me follow Jesus Christ
You will find that they also include pictures of Nephi, Jacob, and Joseph. While they are not currently living they were leaders who inspired us in the scriptures and their examples can still help us today. Use the question and prompt page as well as the instruction page to talk about leaders this week with your primary classes.
Sunday School Lesson Helps
If you are a Sunday school teacher this next idea is for you. If you are a parent to children ages 11-18 this idea would also work great for you at home! Each week I like to take one of the main ideas in your CFM Sunday school manual and break it down using a work page. This week the main idea we are focusing on is:
The Lord Delights in Chastity
I picked this topic because quite honestly it can be a tricky one. I wanted to make a tough subject easier to understand as we find truths about chastity in the Book of Mormon. You will find a two page work page to really have a deep discussion about chastity with your class. You will also find two conference talks and of course you’ll have your Q and P page to aid you as well.
