Scripture of the Week for Come Follow Me 10/5 for Kids
Work on memorizing this scripture with your children during the week for Come Follow Me 10/5: Isaiah 58:6–7
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Note: there are two doctrinal masteries in next week’s reading, which is why we are doing one of them this week. The doctrinal mastery in this week’s readings was the scripture chosen for Easter week (March 30th).
