Are you feeling a little anxiety at starting Come, Follow Me this year? I am!
Studying the Old Testament has always been a little on the overwhelming side to me. But, I love the way that the Come, Follow Me manual breaks things down so I’m also looking forward to it this year.
Whether you’re anxious or looking forward to it (or both like me!) It’s always nice to have some help in this home-centered gospel learning thing.

Looking for a simple and quick way to incorporate Come, Follow Me into your family’s busy day? The Dinner Jar is just the thing! Each week includes a set of strips to stick into the jar, then choose one out to discuss each day. The prompts provided will lead to some great dinner time (or any time!) discussions.
These are available as a download to print yourself, or order just the strips (provide your own jar) or you can choose to order the complete kit ready to go. We used this last year for Doctrine and Covenants and I loved the discussions that got started around our dinner table!
