Light the World Goal Tracker

Light the World: Goal Setting

Light the World is a yearly Church emphasis at aChristmastime we love to support at Sugardoodle. In combination with the Church’s new goal-setting program for youth, we asked friend and fellow blogger Becky Squire to share a great printable and ideas with you.

The new Children and Youth program initiated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officially launched in January 2020, but it wasn’t new to me. It focuses on four areas of life: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, and Social. And if you add one more, Emotional, you will have the framework that I grew up with.

My parents taught me to make goals in each of these areas of my life as a youth and even now as an adult. And I believe that as we and our children accept the prophet’s invitation, we will be able to #LightTheWorld around and within us. Just as Christ developed in all areas of His life, this program provides an outline for each of us.

Latter-day Apostles and Prophets Word Search

General Conference Word Search

Every General Conference, our family searches for activities to do as we listen to the talks. We have two sons who are 10 years apart. This year, I’m surprising them with this word search. I like that it teaches the names of the Brethren in the First Presidency, as well as the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. All are listed in order of their roles, as well.

So if you’d also like a little something to share with your children who can read, we’re happy to share.

King Benjamin Lesson

Come, Follow Me: King Benjamin Interactive Lesson

King Benjamin Come, Follow Me Lesson

This Week’s Come, Follow Me – lesson is HERE! King Benjamin, Mosiah 1-3. This lesson is one you can use at home or with extended family on Zoom.

REMEMBER!  This is a “NO NEED TO PRINT” type of lesson!  You simply gather your family around your computer and let our NEW – “VIRTUAL TEACHER, LEADER-READER” kit do the teaching!

HOW IT WORKS:  You scroll down to each new slide and answer the prompt questions, do the activity, or read the designated scriptures… TOGETHER!

You take TURNS LEADING the discussion on the slides and READING the scriptures posted on the slides… hence, why we call it a Virtual Teacher, “LEADER-READER” kit! We suggest that you have your older children lead and read as much as possible so they develop their leadership and teaching skills!

This KIT is all about helping you get more engaged with the doctrines and principles as a FAMILY, during your Come, Follow Me Study.  Think of it as a fun and engaging enrichment, an additional teaching lesson to this week’s gospel study.

The printables and worksheets then help back up the concepts from the kit PLUS we make them beautiful so if you want you can decorate your teaching area in your house each week with the new lesson prints!  This keeps the lesson’s main teachings, sticky on their minds as they see the prints throughout the week!  You can purchase them for $2.00 at our Etsy shop.

COME, FOLLOW ME — SHARING TIME or FHE / FAMILY STUDY KIT {instant download lesson packet}

MARCH Week 3 {March 9 – 15} Jacob 1 – 4 “Be Reconciled Unto God Through The Atonement of Christ”

PLEASE NOTE: WITH THE CHURCH’S ANNOUNCEMENT THIS WEEK THAT TOMORROW WE WILL NOT BE MEETING AS CONGREGATIONS DUE TO COVID – 19…. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATE TO SHARE WITH YOU THE COME, FOLLOW ME– LESSON & PRINTABLES FOR THIS WEEK. Perhaps, you could use it for your ‘HOME-CENTERED” STUDY…. during the time you usually spend at church!

IN FAIRNESS TO THOSE WHO ALREADY PURCHASED THE KIT, I am posting the kit MINUS TWO OF IT’S KEY PRINTABLES! Feel free to share and pass this kit with your ward families and friends, and enjoy the wonderful teachings of Jacob as you help your family get “UNSHAKEN” and rooted in CHRIST!

This Sugardoodle Come, Follow Me — Lesson & Printables kit is perfect for Sharing Time leaders, for teachers, and for parents.

In our kits we include content from two manuals so it can be used for PRIMARY and also Come, Follow Me– FAMILY STUDIES – FHE.

Beautiful art, an unforgettable object lesson, and a fun physical activity to help those you lead “ACT UPON” the teachings of Jacob!

In creating our kits, we really try to focus more on the content and overall takeaway from the lesson, than we do on how many things we can pack or cram into the lesson.

Is it “sticky” will they remember it? Is it “engaging” will they participate in it,? Is it “inspired” will they feel it? MOST importantly, does, it help bring the DOCTRINE into their hearts so they can COME, UNTO CHRIST?

MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT THIS KIT. . . Jacob was consecrated to be a priest and teacher of the people by Nephi his brother. He became the prophet and a GREAT leader as he taught the people to BELIEVE in CHRIST, as he INVITED them TO REPENT, and as he DECLARED GOD’S WORDS unto them.

This made me think of how often great church leaders do these very same things today. I thought it would be special then to add to this kit a little appreciation card with the “believe” “invite” and “declare” statements about good leaders and have these words be on the front of the appreciation card – – you can print up one for each member of your bishopric and have all those you lead or parent sign it. A warm plate of cookies would help your messages hit their sweet spots…hearts and tummies!
