Nursery Lesson 25 – I Belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Behold Your Little Ones manual.
OBJECTIVE: Tell children that when Jesus came to the earth He established His church. After Christ’s Crucifixion and His Apostles died, His true gospel was lost. The Prophet Joseph Smith was able to restore the true Church to the earth for us today.
CRAFT ACTIVITY – I Belong to the Church – Name Badge
1. Print or copy the activity. Children can wear the badge proudly to show that they belong to Jesus Christ’s Church. When they are eight they can be baptized a member of His Church. Write their name on the badge and pin it on them with a safety pin.
2. Talk about how the missionaries also wear a name badge. By doing so, this shows they are willing to learn about, teach, and keep God’s commandments.
THOUGHT TREATS:
– OPTION 1: Church House Cookie. Cut out sugar cookies using the church house cookie pattern (in the pdf). Frost cookie. Talk about why it is important to be a member of Jesus Christ’s Church.
