“In 1986 we published our first books through Covenant. Since then, over 160 books and 101 CD-ROMs have been published.
After 20 years the “Primary Partners” and “Sunday Savers” curriculum-match activity books and CD-ROMs (now digital) are right here to DOWNLOAD instantly on GospelGrabBag.
EACH YEAR now you can follow the COME FOLLOW ME PROGRAM (see menu above) to find activities for each week’s lesson for all ages.
Our goal is not to replace the lesson content in any way, but to add to and enhance the lesson with visuals that will help them remember what they have learned.
OUR BOOKS AND CD-ROMS are no longer in print (as we are taking all activities digitally).
Download individual activities from our previous 160 books (sample shown). Here you can find activities instantly and click on the link for the lesson from the Church website.
We have tried to make the activities affordable. You will only need to download quantity 1 as you can print what you need for your family or class. Anything over a group of 30 you will need to download more.

Oh thank you soooo much!!!! I have admired and used your work for the past 20 years I have been in Primary. You have helped and continue to help countless Saints around the world. Your talents are building the Kingdom. Please know your efforts are appreciated and glad you went digital!
DARCEE: Thank so much for your support over the years.
“Mary and Jennette have created amazing and helpful resources to help us encourage Gospel learning with our kids. Their ideas are fun, unique, help us follow the Prophet, and help our kids to get more excited about doing things to strengthen their testimonies, even if they don’t realize it because they are just doing something fun. Thank you for sharing your talents and for making things to help us as moms teach our kids the Gospel.” – Laura Smith
Laura: Thank you for your comments and for purchasing our PERSONAL PROGRESS planner/journal forms. These are new and we will be matching these up with every Come Follow Me lesson so Young Women leaders can handout the planners/journals as part of their lessons. Enjoy! Don’t forget to download the quilt coming up with the values on each quilt-block that girls can earn.
What a pleasant surprise to recognize you as the one I always depended on years ago (gosh, that makes us sound too old) for my Primary and YW callings. The first thing I would do when called, was make a trip to Deseret Book and gather every resource with your name on it. Why? Because they were (and still are) the best on the market!!! Thanks again. – Susan Campbell
