Week 27: Church Leaders
The PDF includes a detailed lesson plan. This post is just a quick summary with pictures.
Scripture & Picture. Acts 1:1-11. The apostles led the church after Jesus was resurrected. Jesus stayed with His apostles for 40 days and taught them many things about His church. He asked His apostles to teach the gospel to all people. Peter was the president of the church on earth and James and John were his counselors. They healed the sick, they were missionaries, they taught about Jesus and His gospel. Many people believed the apostles words and joined the church.
Church Organization. The organization of the church today is the same as Jesus organized after he died. There is a president (Peter - President Nelson), two counselors (James & John - Elder Oaks & Eyring) and 12 apostles. Show the pictures included in the PDF.
Memory. Play memory as a family. When a match is chosen, you can find the same person on the pictures of the church organization. Also, teach your children an interesting fact about each person as a match is drawn.
He Lives: Testimonies of Jesus Christ. Watch this short video of the prophet/apostles testifying of Jesus. Just as Peter and the apostles testified of Christ, the prophet and apostles testify of Jesus today.
