THOUGHT TREAT: Priesthood Peanut Butter Cookies. Purchase peanut butter-filled cookies or spread peanut butter between two graham crackers. Tell children that the priesthood is one half of the cookie and our faith is the other half. Priesthood blessings cannot come to us if we don’t have faith. The peanut butter in the cookie reminds us to stick to beliefs. As we live the commandments each day, our faith increases, and we stay worthy to receive priesthood blessings.
TESTIMONY: You may want to testify to the children that the priesthood of God is the greatest power on earth and that it can bless their lives in many ways. You may want to share an experience when the priesthood has blessed your life. Encourage the boys in your class to prepare to receive the Aaronic Priesthood.
