PST 38 Baptism and the Aaronic Priesthood

 Hello, friends! We have a lots of guests and helpers today. First, I touch on the Come Follow Me lesson about John the Baptist giving Joseph Smith, Jr. and Oliver Cowdery the Aaronic Priesthood. Then I teach The Priesthood is Restored (you'll need a sock today if you want to conduct with an elephant trunk). Then Skinny and Tesler help us sing The First Article of Faith again. I talk about the second paragraph of The Living Christ and show the accompanying banjo song. And finally, Br. Keaton is our teacher spotlight this week.

Joseph Smith's First Prayer and The First Article of Faith

 Hello, Friends. Today I'm going to teach the second verse of Joseph Smith's First Prayer and as our Special Guests, Skinny and Tesler are going to learn The First Article of Faith with you.

For this verse of Joseph Smith's First Prayer, I'm going to use face expressions and drawings to help teach the meaning of the words. I do draw a few versions of the faces and I hope your child feels like they can draw it any way they want. But I did want to warn the perfectionists out there that if they are trying to copy exactly what I do, you might want to you a pencil with an eraser. I make mistakes and change my mind...I can do that with a dry erase board. I hope it all goes well.

You can use any paper to draw faces on or you can print this worksheet with circles and the lyrics.
