Day 3 I Know That My Redeemerblog

I’m going to share two posts today, since tomorrow is Sunday.  On Day #3  your family will discuss the Parables that Christ taught in the Bible.  And if you choose to play the Parables Charades or form a clay oil lamp like what the Parable of the Ten Virgins used, have fun with it.  I did it with my daughter’s junior high age friends one night as I was prepping for the photo shoot.  Two of them really got into the project and spent an hour forming the most perfect lamp.  You can imagine their huge disappointment when we realized it wasn’t a oven bake clay.  So let that be a lesson to you.  The other three  just did what they could to get through the exercise.  So again, tailor these experiences to your family.

If you are just joining us, the kit is available HERE! And no, it’s not too late to start!

Hi friends! With Spring coming in full swing and Easter drawing near, I’m so excited to share with you a meaningful and different way to focus on the Savior through a self-guided study of The Living Christ. I love this inspired document and know that a careful study of it, and the apostles and prophets who testify of Him, can help each of us grow closer to our Savior.

This journal packet would make the perfect pre-Easter gift for your Young Women group, those you visit teach, or make a great Personal Progress goal for Young Women, or anyone for that matter, anytime of year.

The packet includes 8 pages of journaling prompts based on The Living Christ, 4 art prints focused on the Savior, and additional blank note pages to jot down your thoughts if you’re needing extra space. While I designed the journal packet and art prints, I found so many additional resources that enriched my study. I’ve included an additional page at the end of the journal printables file that includes a few of my favorite conference talks and video clips along with links to find them and a copy of The Living Christ online.

Names of Christ Free Easter Printables

Leave a reply

Hi, guys!  Today I’m sharing a fun idea to help make your family’s Easter more meaningful.  As a family of teenagers, our Easter looks a little different now than it used to.  Sadly, we have “aged out” of the egg hunts and some of the more traditional Easter activities, but I still really want to make it a special holiday for my family.  When I thought about how I could do that, I was inspired that the greatest gift I could give my children at this point in their lives – or at any age, really– is to know the Savior.  As they prepare to leave our home for college and missions, an intimate knowledge of who He is and what He can do in their lives will be the most important thing they can take with them. With that in mind, I created these “Names of Christ” printable study cards.

Names of Christ study cards -- in scriptures 750

Each card has a hand drawn chalk art design of one of Christ’s scriptural names on one side. On the back side is a scripture reference along with a story and/or quotes from our General Authorities that explain that name of Christ in a little more detail and hopefully sparks some thought or conversation. There are also questions or supplemental materials you can look up on lds.org for further thought and study. 

Names of Christ study cards -- packaged 750

This a wonderful way to keep the Savior in our daily thoughts and conversations in the week leading up to Easter, beginning on the Sunday before Easter and concluding on Easter itself. These cards can be studied as a family, perhaps as a discussion over dinner each evening, or individually in quiet study time.  With a little thought, many of them could be turned into interesting Family Home Evening Lessons or Youth devotionals.

Simply print the pages double-sided {front and back} onto card stock and cut apart.  I chose to laminate my cards so they would hold up for a long time.  I made a set for each member of my family to tuck in their scriptures or keep on their bedside tables as a daily reminder of the things they have come to know about the Savior.

Wizard of Oz – ‘There’s No Place Like Home’ Free Printables

Leave a reply

Last year, our YW leaders did the most amazing YW in Excellence centered on the Wizard of Oz theme, ‘There’s No Place Like Home’. This past weekend, I overheard some YW leaders discussing their new camp theme ‘There’s No Place Like Camp’ and realized how fun this theme could be for virtually any YW activity.

It seems like Pinterest agrees. One quick search this morning and I found hundreds of ideas.

Today, I thought I’d share a few of the fun printables I created to go along with the theme. You can use them to decorate your girls camp, jazz up your refreshment table at YW in Excellence or liven up your next New Beginnings. The possibilities are endless.
