Days 6-10

Note:  If you are new to this site, Welcome.  Please look on the sidebar for links to explain how this site works.
If you have been following this program, glad to have you back!  I won't be changing the line-up of the current schedule, but if you find that studying each Article of Faith for the days listed is becoming redundant, feel free to substitute a few of those days with the memorization of a relevant scripture (look in the "Preach My Gospel" lessons to see which scriptures might apply to the particular lesson).  My only recommendation, as with the Articles of Faith, is that you teach for understanding and not just memorization.  Make sure your family members understand the words they are reciting.

Day 6--p. 35 or Lesson 1: The Message of the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ (online).   today you will study the section titled  “The Great Apostasy.”  (if you want to discuss the Reformation at this time, it is very interesting, but could be over your child’s head if they are very young.  There is some background information found on page 45, as well as these helpful references: James E Talmage, Jesus the Christ, 692-703; M. Russell Ballard, Our Search for Happiness, 26-32).  And 2nd Article of Faith
resources:
“The Great Apostasy”   (this is about 16 minutes long)

Day 7--p. 36 or Lesson 1: The Message of the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ (online).   today you will study the section titled   “The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Joseph Smith” part 1 (through “He called Joseph Smith to be a prophet through whom the fullness of the gospel was restored to the earth.”) and 2nd Article of Faith.
resources:

Day 8--p. 37 or Lesson 1: The Message of the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ (online).   today you will study the section titled  “The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Joseph Smith” part two (Beginning with “After the appearance of the Father and Son…” to the end of section) and 2nd Article of Faith.
resources:
“The Restoration”   (this is just about the First Vision and is about 20 minutes long).
“Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration” (this is 1 hour long.  You might want to use the movie during Family Home Evening, or the Sunday following these lessons as part of your review.  Also note there are some parts that might disturb sensitive little ones, particularly the part where the adversary tries to stop Joseph, and scenes of persecution, especially Haun's Mill where several members died)

Day 9—p. 38 or Lesson 1: The Message of the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ (online).   today you will study the section titled  “The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.” And 3rd Article of Faith.

Day 10—p. 39 or Lesson 1: The Message of the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ (online).   today you will study the section titled “Pray to Know the Truth through the Holy Ghost.” (be sure to cover the 4 steps of prayers in the inset).  And 3rd Article of Faith.
