Four choices of study for Matthew 1 and Luke 1

Last Monday I posted the worksheet that I made for our family for the Come Follow Me curriculum week one. The important thing is that our family followed our plan during the week, and we had a good discussion on Sunday. They won’t be making any training videos for family discussions using our family, but it was good.

For this week, we have four family members at home, so I split the readings in Matthew 1 and Luke 1 into four stories: Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth/Zacharias (counts as one), and Gabriel. Each of us will choose one person (or couple) to study this week.

If you care to see the study guide I made for Matthew 1 and Luke 1, this is a link to the document . Some of the questions come from the Church study guide, and some are my own. I feel silly posting this. But there it is.

Correction: on worksheet, the last reference for Gabriel should be Luke 1:26-37, not Matthew.

This is how we are doing it this week: Come Follow Me for Individuals and Families Week 1

This week, the goal is for each person to study a few verses on their own each day and write about it. We wanted the kids to start a journal of their scripture study, so each week I plan to make a page on which they can write. This week I typed it. Some weeks it may be photocopies of post-it notes. And yes, we will be sweetening the deal as we come together to share on Sunday morning. We will keep reading the Book of Mormon as a family in the evenings. Every scripture and question is listed in the study guide, so there’s nothing original here, just the way we are going to use it.

Post edit addition: we are changing the cinnamon roll time because it’s the first Sunday of the month. 😉
