Each week, we take the sacrament. It helps us remember Jesus Christ and promise to follow Him.

Before I take the sacrament, I can  . . .

  • Sing a hymn

  • Watch the bread and water being prepared

  • Listen to the sacrament prayers

During the sacrament, I can . . .

  • Take the bread and water reverently

  • Think about what Jesus did for me and how much He loves me

  • Remember my baptismal covenant

After the sacrament, I can remember and follow Jesus all week long by . . .

  • Keeping His commandments

  • Being kind to others

  • Following promptings from the Holy Ghost

  • Asking myself, “What would Jesus do?”
