The Apostasy and Restoration-Why was a Restoration necessary?
A few months ago I taught this lesson to my Mia Maids class and totally loved it! Honestly I love every lesson. I love to find fun and unique ways to get excited about the lesson and then share them with the girls.
This lesson was about Lost and Found gospel treasures. There were many gospel treasures brought to the earth by Jesus, during His mortal life. We learned how the gospel treasures were found again when Joseph Smith restored the true gospel of Jesus Christ to the earth and why it is so important.
On the board I had all of these little gems/treasures labeled with things that Jesus Christ established while he was on the earth along with writing on the board-Lost and Found Gospel Treasures. When Jesus Christ died the things he established here on earth went away or were corrupted. There was a time when the world didn't have the full gospel because of this.
Things we read:
Amos 8:11-12
Apostasy and Restoration of the Gospel in True to the Faith
We talked about how our lives would be different if the gospel had never been restored. We are so blessed with the treasures the gospel gives us like temples, Priesthood and sacrament. We talked for quite a while about the jewels and treasures on the board, talking about each one in depth and how it is a blessing in our lives. We then talked about how we can personally apply what we've learned in this class. We have journals for each girl so I also encourage them to write in their journal and give them a little sticker to go along with the lesson that they can remember what it was about.
For a handout I gave chocolate coins and a cute little jewel container full of cadbury eggs. I had to put it in a treasure box because hello I've got to carry on the theme! haha

RuthAnne---I'm teaching this lesson on Sunday and your cute printouts are really helping to pull my lesson together. Could I purchase from you the treasure box and gems that you show above? I'm such a visual learned and I think will really help my girls. Thank you so much, Cassie Simmons
ReplyDeleteCassie!! I'm SO sorry I'm late seeing this. I hope your lesson went well! I used clipart and wrote on top of the gems, so I'm unable to distribute them. If you'd like to buy the clipart though you can find it here-https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Buried-Pirate-Treasure-Clipart-Creative-Clips-Clipart-3198804 Thank you so much for your sweet comment!
