The Bible and Book of Mormon

Opening Prayer - Keith

Talent Time

Songs - Scripture Power

Lesson - Nicci

Attention Getter:

Blindfold the kids and tell them to try and walk from the couch to the tree all by themselves (represents going through life)

Do this again, this time with Mommy and Daddy giving instructions (represents having help from earthly parents)

Do this one more time, with Mommy and Daddy giving instructions, while holding on to the string (represents having something to guide us in addition to our parents and other leaders)

Explain that Mommy and Daddy want more than anything to help you through life, and to help you return to Heavenly Father. In addition, Heavenly Father has given us the scriptures to guide us.

Show the Bible and Book of Mormon and introduce their names (play a little quiz game)

Testimony

Activity - Coloring Page (Family Reading Scriptures Together)

Closing Prayer - Austin

Treat - Leftover Oreo Delight

The boys loved the string activity, although I'm pretty sure they are still a little too young to make a "connection" of that sort - but a good reminder for Keith and I.
