Home Centered Church: Follow the Prophet

March 15, 2020 by Side By Side Learning

This week has been a whirlwind to say the least. A lot of things have happened that were completely unexpected. Well, unexpected to most people. One of the biggest announcements for us was the change to Home Centered Church announced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know, my brain exploded a little bit too. At first I was overwhelmed but quickly I was able to see the blessings and knew what we should focus on during our families worship service. Following the Prophet.

Follow the Prophet

These last few days I have been filled with gratitude for our living prophet, Russell M. Nelson. He has warned us and prepared us for the current struggles that the world is facing. We were very very far from following his counsel perfectly but we did a good enough job that I feel peace for the future. We have food, we have truth and we know how to listen to revelation (for the most part).

Home Centered Church_ Follow the Prophet

Our Home Centered Hybrid Sacrament Primary Meeting

Hymn: We thank Thee Oh God for a Prophet

Invocation

Sacrament Hymn: As Now We Take the Sacrament

Sacrament: Proceed with the Sacrament only if you have been authorized to by your local leaders. You may also want to talk to your kids prior to your Church meeting about the importance of being reverent and treating this time sacred like they would in the chapel.

Scripture: Jacob 6:3 – How blessed are they who have labored diligently in his vineyard

Nephi prayingTalk: Nephi

  • Our oldest (7) will be sharing about his favorite prophet. He wont tell us what he plans on saying but he wanted me to find a video and picture of his scripture hero.
  • I choose this video because right now I feel like we are having to rely on the Lord. We don’t always know the destination but we have to trust in our Heavenly Father to take the step of faith. I just hope we don’t have to build a boat like Nephi or Moses. The Lord Instructs Nephi to Build a Ship
  • If your kids have wiggly hands this Dot to Dot might be the perfect resource to have on hand Nephi Builds a Boat

    • Nephi with his Broken Bow
    • Lehi, Nephi and Nephi’s Wife Using the Liahona

Song: Follow the Prophet

  • We are going to use this song as a wiggle break. In our home the kids love pretending to be Prophets as they follow each other around the house. If this activity is too distracting for your home’s sacrament meeting simply sing the song to maintain a more reverent atmosphere.

Talk: King Benjamin

  • Jason will be sharing about King Benjamin to remind our children how important it is to listen to our church leaders during General Conference. Every 6 months we focus on King Benjamin because during conference we build a fort and face it towards our leaders just like the Nephites did in the scriptures. Come see our tents on instagram.

Article of Faith: 1 – We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.

Russell M Nelson PortraitTalk: Russell M. Nelson

  • I could have assigned the talks to everyone except myself but I wanted to have the opportunity to bear my testimony of our Prophet that currently leads and guides us. We have been blessed with so many revelations recently and I am not certain which ones I want to talk about so I included some of Russell M. Nelsons messages for you to choose from if you too want to share some with your family.
  • General Conference Remarks
    • Closing Remarks of October 2019 – Announced bicentennial year of First Vision. Prepare for a conference like never before.
    • Women’s Conference: Spiritual Treasures – Scriptures to ponder to prepare for April 2020
    • Newsroom – Eat your vitamins and get your rest
    • Witnesses, Aaronic Priesthood Quorums and Young Women’s Classes – Child and Youth Program Released
    • Comfort during Covid-19

This week we've been learning about different ways This week we've been learning about different ways of lighting throughout history, the science behind light and how electricity works. But guys, I completely forgot about reflection. 

Don't worry this kid knows about it and carried us through a brief lesson. When I asked him how he knew, he answer was simple. "Mom, I read a lot of books."

Thanks library for filling the gaps in this kids education.
