Come Follow Me 11/18/2027 – Devotionals & FHE for Children

Sunday Ideas for Kids for Come Follow Me 11/8

Use Sundays for a time of reflection; share what you discussed that day in each of your classes.  Did you learn anything new or hear a different perspective about what you studied this week?

If you went to a class that did not use the Come, Follow Me 11/8 Manual, then share what stood out to you the most in your class.

Take a few minutes to talk about what parts of Sacrament Meeting you felt like were meant for you.

If your younger children are struggling during Sacrament Meeting, try using these Ideas and Activities to Keep Toddlers and Kids Quiet During Church.

Here are some activities that go along with this week’s topic in Come Follow Me 11/8.
