Dinner Discussions 2007 Week 6by Miriam Caldwell | More from this Blogger 12 Feb 2007 09:48 PM This week the dinner discussions are based on lesson 6 in most of the manuals. It is important to remember to keep the discussions upbeat and positive. It is a great way to reinforce the principles your children are learning at church. If you have a child in nursery or Sunbeams, he learned that Heavenly Father and Jesus loves him. The lesson talked about the blessing that Heavenly Father and Jesus give us. It also shared the stories of Jesus spending time with the children in the New Testament and Jesus blessing the Nephite children in the Book of Mormon. If you have a child between the ages of four and seven she learned about how the church was restored to the earth. The children talked about the First Vision. The children also discussed how the Priesthood was restored and the importance of being baptized under the proper authority. The children were encouraged to memorize Article of Faith 1:6. If you have a child between the ages of eight and eleven he learned about the importance of baptism. The children discussed the baptism of Jesus Christ. They discussed the fourth Article of Faith and were encouraged to memorize it. The assigned reading for the week is Matthew 3:13-17. If you have a child who is twelve or thirteen he learned about the importance of gaining a testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith. The children discussed the ways to gain a testimony, which include studying the scriptures and praying for a confirmation. The children also discussed the First Vision. For all members over the age of fourteen the lesson was about Jesus calling the Twelve Apostles. The lesson first discussed how and when Jesus declared himself the Messiah. It then goes over how the twelve apostles were called and how they responded. It also discusses the things that they were taught by Christ. Next week's reading is Mark 1-2, 4:35-41; and Luke7:11-17. The Young Women learned about the importance of helping out around the house. The Young Men learned about the importance of Christlike service. The Relief Society and Priesthood lessons focused on Christ and his Atonement. Next week's lesson will be "The Miracle of Forgiveness" which is lesson four in the manual.

Relevantlds tags User Comments Nola Redd (7081) 13 Feb 2007 10:44 PMGreat post. One question. I've never seen the AoF referenced as "Articles of Faith 1:6". Could you clarify that for me? Thanks!  Miriam Caldwell (8030) 14 Feb 2007 11:34 AMNola I just pulled the reference straight out of the manual. I assume because there is only one chapter and it is the sixth verse. I was surprised when I saw the reference, but it is referenced that way in the second CTR manual. I decided to just follow what the church was doing. I know that isn't much help! Miriam Caldwell (8030) 14 Feb 2007 11:34 AMOh I just thought of this, it is like when you are referring to a verse from Enos. There is only one chapter, but you would still say Enos 1:10. : ) Nola Redd (7081) 14 Feb 2007 10:53 PMThat makes sense. I didn't think of the Articles of Faith as having a chapter, LOL, but I guess it does. It reminds me of a lecture I heard given by one of the church leaders during conference; the leader referenced "verse x in Jarom" and someone wrote and asked which chapter. Of course there is only one chapter in Jarom! LOL Thanks for elaborating! I would never have come up with that on my own! Community Tags lds, Sunday Lessons, teaching children Discuss this article
