Trees of Righteousness

For Isaiah 58–66

Story: Isaiah taught that Jesus Christ would come to heal and comfort those who are sad or need help (see Isaiah 61:1). He also said that those who obey Jesus’s teachings would be like “trees of righteousness” (Isaiah 61:3).

Song:“I Feel My Savior’s Love” (Children’s Songbook, 74–75)

Activity: Draw a picture of a tree. Cut out some leaves. Write on the leaves ways Jesus helps you when you obey His teachings. Then glue the leaves onto the tree.

Fishers of Men

For Jeremiah 1–3; 7; 16–18; 20

Story: The prophet Jeremiah taught that God would send “many fishers” to help gather Israel (see Jeremiah 16:15–16). These people would share the gospel so that everyone could return to Him.

Song: “I Hope They Call Me on a Mission” (Children’s Songbook, 169)

Activity: Play the fishing game on page 12. How can you help gather Israel?

Scripture Guessing Game

For Jeremiah 30–33; 36; Lamentations 1; 3

Story: The Lord told Jeremiah to write down His words (see Jeremiah 36:1–4). We can read them today in the book of Jeremiah. The scriptures help us know the words of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

Song: “Search, Ponder, and Pray” (Children’s Songbook, 109)

Activity: Play a scripture guessing game! Take turns acting out your favorite scripture story. Have everyone guess what story is being acted out. What does your favorite story teach you?

Family Ties

For Ezekiel 1–3; 33–34; 36–37; 47

Story: The prophet Ezekiel had a vision of a river flowing from a temple. In the vision, the river grew and blessed everything it touched (see Ezekiel 47:1–12). Like the river blessed what it touched, the temple blesses our families.

Song: “Families Can Be Together Forever” (Children’s Songbook, 188)

Activity: Family history helps bring the blessings of the temple to our families. Go to page 24 to see how two girls from Taiwan learned about their family. Then do the activity on page 16. How else could you learn about your family?
