LIGHT SWITCH BUDDY READS: My faith in Jesus Christ will help in times of ADVERSITY. Share while giving the lesson: 1 Nephi 17:13. “And I will also be your light in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the promised land; and ye shall know that it is by me that ye are led.”
TO MAKE Print in color or black-and-white on cardstock, color and cut out the lightswitch cover for each child/youth. If they have only one light switch, the large cover can be placed to the side and still fit onto the switch. If they have a flat light switch they can post it above.
THOUGHT TREAT Dark-to-Light Cupcakes. Frost cupcakes first with chocolate frosting then with a yellow sun frosted on top. Tell children that Jesus is our light at any time we can pray and He will guide us through the darkness.
