First Principles & Ordinances of the Gospel

The theme for June incorprorates "The First Principles and Ordinances of the Gospel."  Several songs are used in the month's presentations.  The Fourth Article of Faith, pg. 124, presents the theme perfectly.  Faith, pg. 96, explains the first principle - faith.  The Holy Ghost, pg. 105, is also suggested as it explains how the Holy Ghost helps us and what we need to do to receive his help.

I have written a post on how to teach the 2nd verse of Faith, which is a bit more difficult than the first verse.  Check it out on previous posts under Faith.

First Verse:  Use a picture of Christ being baptized.  Tell the children that He received the Holy Ghost right after He was baptized.  Then show the picture of The Last Supper.  Tell the children that Jesus promised the disciples that He would send another comforter once He was gone, which was the Holy ghost. Sing the first verse using the pictures to prompt the words.

*** Father's Day is just a few weeks away.  There are several posts about "Father's Day."  Check them out for ideas for activities and learning Father's Day songs.
