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.

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

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

the movie during Family Home Evening, or the Sunday following these lessons as

scenes of persecution, especially Haun's Mill where several members died).
