Primary Sharing Time | Covenant Keepers

I know this is last minute, but I thought I would share my plan for tomorrow’s Primary Sharing Time (I serve as second counselor in my ward’s Primary Presidency.) Hopefully in the future, I can maybe share some lesson plans here on my blog ahead of time! I hope you can use this.

This year in my Primary, we are using the monthly CTR Challenges from The Friend Magazine. The CTR Story, Cracking the Code, in the current issue really touched my heart and I wanted to share it with my Primary kids, so I based my whole sharing time lesson on it.

COVENANT KEEPERS

PREPARATION:

  • Read Mosiah 18:10 and Ezekiel 44:14, the CTR Story, and the following points in the lesson.
  • You will need to print and cut-out a CK 24/7 Shield for each of the children.
  • During the welcome/opening and/or music time, you will need to observe the children in your Primary and find a few children that are showing kindness, reverence, compassion, obedience, or any other covenants/commandments/principles that you can pick out and share in the lesson.
  • On the chalkboard, draw blank lines representing the letters in the words, COVENANT KEEPERS.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _    _ _ _ _ _ _ _

LESSON:

  • Hand each child a CK 24/7 Shield and ask them: “Can you crack this code? What do you think it means?” Give them a moment to think about it.
  • Show the kids the blank lines on the board. Tell them the first word can be found in Mosiah 18:10 and the second word can be found in Ezekiel 44:14. (For Jr. Primary, have a leader/older child read the verses out loud and have the children raise their hands if they think they know the word. For Sr. Primary, have them read the verses in groups and see which group can crack the code first!) Then explain what 24/7 means (all day, every day). Fill out the lines on the chalkboard when they crack the code!
  • Discuss what a covenant is (A two-way promise between a person and Heavenly Father).
  • Discuss baptism and how it is one of the first covenants that we make.
  • Share with the children that you were spying on them and you noticed a few times that the children kept their covenants and/or were examples of specific principles of the gospel. Share your observations. (Example: Jimmy was REVERENT and really listened, as Sarah gave her talk in Primary.)
  • Point out that we keep our covenants every day, when we show love and take care of each other the way Jesus would. After we are baptized, we will have specific promises to keep (to take upon you the name of Jesus Christ, to always remember Him, and to obey His commandments) and we can work each day on fulfilling those promises. But even before we are baptized, we can choose the right and keep the commandments and then the Holy Ghost can be with us to help us. As we keep our promises and strive each day to be covenant keepers, we will be training our minds and our hearts how to understand the Spirit and how to make the right choices. This helps us be prepared to go to the temple, where we can learn to make new covenants. And when we do all this, we will get stronger and stronger, each day that we keep our covenants.
  • End with your testimony.

Life 365 | Week 48

We made our countdown to Christmas paper chains today. I was going to wait until next week, but the kids were anxious to do something – so we did it! They were excited to hang them up in their rooms!

I made navajo tacos for the first time tonight. I think it went over really well!

So the kids didn’t have to go to school today and so they were watching some tv this morning while I was in my room. I suddenly heard the distinct sound that JJ makes when he has a seizure. I ran in and Beth was freaking out. So we waited out the seizure and got Beth calmed down. I was so relieved when he stopped seizing. I hadn’t even realized he had a fever – I knew he was coughing a bit, but had no idea he was as sick as he was. We took him to the doctor and found out he had walking pneumonia but that with some antibiotics he would be fine. JJ slept most of the day and already doing so much better after the first dose of antibiotics.

Because of JJ being sick yesterday I didn’t get packed until this morning and we didn’t leave for Orderville until late afternoon. We had a nice drive and such pretty scenery on our way down though. It was nice to finally get to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.

What a wonderful day. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner in the barn with all of my family – except for Charity and her kids. And then in the evening, was JJ’s baptism. I was so happy with how it turned out. There are so many times where I don’t know what is going on in JJ’s head or how much he is taking in – but tonight, I know he felt the spirit. He was so calm and happy and it just was so great to see him come up from the water with a smile on his face. I was so glad all the family could be there. Both Grandmas gave such wonderful talks and the Grandpas were the witnesses. Cousin Austin played the piano for us and there was just such a wonderful spirit there. I’m so thankful for JJ and for the gospel in our lives. Afterwards, we had our Thanksgiving pie and other desserts and all the men/boys played basketball in their church outfits! It was fun to go over to Kori’s house afterwards and visit and play games.

JJ and I spent the day with Grandpa and Uncle Clint at Sink Valley. We looked for cows, played in the snow, got some wood for Grandma’s fire, and got some Christmas trees. JJ loved being out there and I did too – even though it was pretty cold. It was a fun day, spent with just my buddy. Dad and Beth spent time with the rest of the family at home. Joey helped Grandma with some computer stuff and Beth got to play all day with Whitnee.

We decided not to return home today. The weather was pretty awful, so we just spent another day, playing at Grandma’s house and visiting. It was nice just to be with the family.

A fun Saturday. We took the kids to Megamind and then after the kids went to bed, Joey and I went out to dinner and brought home some Redbox movies which we watched together. I love it when we get to have date night!

My little JJ is getting so big. After church today, I took some photos of JJ for his baptism program and I was delighted with this one!
