I will walk with Jesus 2nd verse and chorus

 Hello, friends. There were so many songs we could have sung for the Come Follow Me lesson today, but I forced myself just to pick a few. Feel free to sing other songs on your own as you think of them. Today I am teaching the second verse of I will walk with Jesus, the new primary song that was featured on a Face to Face with Elder Gong last year. I taught it last year, but then I forgot to practice it with you, so I will quickly reteach it this week and next week. I hope you like it and learn it (Sister Ence really likes it). At the end of this blog are some printable booklets to help you practice the song. I also quickly go over another paragraph of The Living Christ and play the banjo song arranged by Sister Gadd from our stake (I'm not really teaching that, just exposing the kids to it). Lastly, Tesler and Skinny help us practice The 10th Article of Faith song.

Joseph Smith's First Prayer, verses 3 and 4

 Hello everyone! Today's video has a lot of variety. I start with our new opening song, sing some fun songs, sing a song for the Come Follow Me lesson, teach the song of the month, introduce The Living Christ and a song that puts it to music and finally a cutting activity to introduce our new closing song.

For the rest of January, we are going to learn Joseph Smith's First Prayer, Hymn 26. We're going to start backwards, of course. I'll teach verse 4 then 3. Then in the next two weeks, I'll teach 2 and 1. Each verse is important to the song and the story of when Joseph went into a grove of trees to find out how he could repent of his sins and which church to join.

 The Living Christ was written by the prophet and apostles in 2000 and set to music by Cassie Gadd in our stake.
