Family Home Evening for Come Follow Me 10/14 for Kids
Song
Truth from Elijah (Children’s #90)
Scripture
3 Nephi 25:5–6; Doctrine and Covenants 110:13–16
Lesson
- Read the verses in 3 Nephi. Each time you hear the word “heart,” put your hand over your heart.
- These verses talk about family history. “Fathers” means ancestors, and “children” means descendants.
- Elijah the prophet had the priesthood authority to seal families together forever.
- This prophesy is about how he would restore that power in the last days so family work could be done and people could be sealed forever.
- Read the D&C verses. This is the prophesy being fulfilled!
- The spirit of Elijah is across the whole earth – millions of people, not just Latter-day Saints, are doing their geneaology and sharing it with others.
- Discuss goals you can set for family history. (Indexing, temple trips, Family Search accounts, etc.)
Activity
