(Friend Jul 2003, suggestion # 3) |
Help the children understand what they can do to follow the Savior in faith by using:
Hebrews 11 & Ether 12 to review examples of faith by others.
On the back of the following pictures, write the scripture reference indicated, then arrange the pictures on the front wall in random order in the shape of a clock:
Enoch / GAK 120 / Hebrews 11:5
Noah / GAK 102 / Hebrews 11:7
Abraham / GAK 104 / Hebrews 11:8–10
Abraham and Isaac / GAK 105 / Hebrews 11:17
Jacob blessing his sons / GAK 122 / Hebrews 11:21
Joseph / GAK 109 / Hebrews 11:22
Baby Moses / GAK 106 / Hebrews 11:23
Moses parting the Red Sea / Primary picture kit 6–12 / Hebrews 11:24–29
Christ appearing to the Nephites / GAK 315 / Ether 12:7
Alma and Amulek in the fallen prison / Primary picture kit 4–29 / Ether 12:13
Nephi and Lehi encircled by fire / Primary picture kit 4–41 / Ether 12:14
Ammon teaching King Lamoni / Primary picture kit 2–18 / Ether 12:15.
Have the children locate Ether 12:6, and invite an older child to read it aloud. Discuss how Moroni defined faith.
Choose a child to be the timekeeper. Have another child choose a picture and read the reference aloud. Have all the children quickly locate the scripture while the timekeeper tracks how long it takes. The first child to locate the scripture reads it aloud. Help the children retell the story about that person by asking questions such as:
"Why did this happen?"
"How were they able to do this?"
"Who obeyed, or did not obey, and what happened to them?"
"What can you do to show faith like this person?"
Based on the amount of time it took to find the first picture, have a child read aloud the scripture reference from the back of a picture positioned at that time on a clock. For example, if it took 45 seconds to find it, the picture at nine o'clock would be chosen. If a picture has been chosen previously, have the child take the next unchosen picture in order. Repeat the process until all the pictures have been chosen.
Have the children locate Ether
12:18 and read it aloud together.
Emphasize that all of the things happened because the people first believed in
Jesus Christ.
Sing songs about faith, such as:
"I'll Follow Him in Faith" (Friend, Jan. 2003, 24),
"Lord, I Would Follow Thee" (Hymns, no. 220),
"Faith" (CS, 96–97).
