Home Centered, Church Supported Gospel Learning
Mirroring what you are learning as families at home, Primary Lessons will be taught from Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants this year, including lessons from Preparing Children for a Lifetime on God's Covenant Path (Appendix B of CFM manual).
At home, we invite parents to review the companion resource in the back of the Come Follow Me manual: For Parents—Preparing Your Children for a Lifetime on God’s Covenant Path
Resources for Parents & Children:
We welcome you to share any insight on how you approach gospel learning and growth, and how we can support your family. You will be inspired to know you can uniquely guide your family in following Christ!
We will be starting a "Primary Library" of gospel sharing and learning aids, coloring pages, and other resources to use during Sacrament Meeting or borrow for use at home.
Check out the resources in the Gospel Library App for Children (Library tab > Children), and Come Follow Me animated videos on YouTube.
We love you!

January Scripture
Children recite this scripture in Primary together every Sunday for the month of January. If they memorize the scripture, they can recite it to the Bishop after Church for a treat!
Coming soon! :)
