Story: “Be Ye Not Troubled”

by Margie Nauta Lee

“Daddy!” five-year old Callie hollered. Father entered the room and sat down on the edge of Callie’s bed.
“ I can’t sleep, ’cause I’m scared!” she confided.

Father gathered Callie into his arms and held her tight. “I’ll check under your bed for you Callie if you want, but you know there are no such things as monsters!”

“It’s not monsters I’m afraid of!” Callie sobbed. “I don’t want to starve before Jesus comes again!”

“Oh, Callie! If you always follow the prophet, you’ll be prepared for His return. You don’t need to be afraid. When Jesus comes again it will be a very joyful day!” Father promised.

“But, Caleb said that a lot of bad things are going to happen!”

“Callie, Caleb was wrong to scare you,” Father said as he tucked Callie back into her bed. “There are bad things that are already happening and will happen before Jesus comes again, but Jesus taught that we don’t need to be troubled… READ MORE

“HE TAKETH AWAY MY SINS”

Easter FHE Lesson Part 1: “He Taketh Away My Sins”
Principle: The Atonement of Jesus Christ

“Of all of the events of human history, none other approaches the Atonement of the Savior in its meaning and in its results. God be thanked for the gift of His precious Son, to whom we all owe thanks for His sacrifice in our behalf.” ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Video Clip: Worthy is the Lamb chapters 3–4

What is the greatest gift of all?

Easter Activity

The Lamb of God!

This spiritually uplifting EASTER ACTIVITY is not just about making a fun Easter decoration, but will teach your children about the similitude of the Lamb of God and the sacrificial lamb of old.

“The Passover feast centered on the paschal lamb, which was a sacrificial lamb, a male without blemish and with no broken bone, even after death. Likewise, Jesus was the ‘Passover,’ the ‘Lamb of God’, a male without blemish and with no broken bone, even after death. He was the Firstborn of God in the pre-mortal existence (D&C 93:21), sanctified in the flesh as were the firstborn of Israel, and slain even as were the firstborn of Egypt (Ex. 12:29).” John P. Pratt

“I Know this Church is True”

FHE Lesson — “I Know this Church is True”  Principle — Bearing Testimony

“Parents and teachers should help children learn what a testimony is and when it is appropriate for them to express it. It may be best to have younger children learn to share their testimonies at such times as family home evening or when giving talks in Primary until they are old enough to do so in a fast and testimony meeting.” From First Presidency letter, 2 May 2002

Video Clip — New York: The Church Restored chapter 16

“Am I Willing to Serve?”

FHE Lesson — “Am I Willing to Serve”     Principle: Service

“Often small acts of service are all that is required to lift and bless another: a question concerning a person’s family, quick words of encouragement, a sincere compliment, a small note of thanks, a brief telephone call. If we are observant and aware, and if we act on the promptings which come to us, we can accomplish much good.”
~ Thomas S. Monson

Video Clip –  Elijah chapter 8

“Am I Willing to Serve?”

In the faith promoting clip from The Animated Old Testament ELIJAH DVD, Elijah and the Widow of Zaraphath shows us that true happiness comes from the feelings you get inside when you serve others.
