Come, Follow Me Jun 24-Jun 30: "He Is Risen"

Welcome back to Simply Family Home Evening. I hope we can help with your weekly dose of Come, Follow Me New Testament for this week. If you are new, hi! I am so glad you found us. Feel free to look around and let us know what you think. We use the Come, Follow Me - For Primary manual to put together the lesson ideas we have for each week. We try to keep them short and simple. Some require a little prep but usually you just need a printer. Here at Simply Family Home Evening we like to keep it...... simple. 😉

This week we get to study out of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John again. The lesson title in Come, Follow Me is "He is Risen" - HOORAY!!!! Hip, hip, wonderful HOORAY! I love reading about all of these really important days in our Savior's life in all 4 gospels. I really can't tell you how excited I am to talk about the Resurrection of our Savior this week after such a heavy lesson last week. Without further ado - 👇 see what we have for you below.

The lesson idea we decided to focus on for Family Home Evening this week is:

Scriptures: John 21:1–17

Lesson: 
Read John 21:15-17 
Have the kids list ways they can feed the Lord's sheep by serving others and talking about the Gospel with their friends when appropriate. List them on the sheep and hang them up around the house for the week as a reminder.
Adapt for older children: Have them think of a name of someone that they can serve or be a missionary to and hang it by their bed. Ask them to pray for ways to serve this person in the coming weeks.
