The Faith in God Program had been emphasised by the District Primary Presidency since last year.
Ever since we have a new appointed District Primary President – Sister YoungHee Yang.
She is from Korea. Sister Yang used to serve in the Primary before she came here.
Last January, Sister Jennifer and I have a meeting with Sister Yang at our branch.
She shared with us some of her ideas on how to manage and doing the Faith in God Program with the children ages 8 through 11 years old.
This is one of the Faith in God activity materials that she shared with us – Faith in God Scavenger Hunt.
I did some modifications on the activity materials, as I inserted some colourful picture, so that it kind of make it fun to do.
This Scavenger Hunt is to use with the Faith in God booklet, the reason being is to let the children to know what was in it, and what they should be working on.
I have 1 set of ‘Faith in God for Boys’ for Issac and 1 set of ‘Faith in God for Girls’ for Annabelle.
Both of them were trying to work and find their answers throughout the booklet.
They have to read the whole booklet including ‘The First Presidency Message’ page, ‘My Baptismal Covenant’ page, ‘Faith in God Award Requirements’ page, ‘The Articles of Faith’ page and ‘My Gospel Standards’ page. Both of them sharing ideas and their findings.
The 2nd part of the lesson was to ask them to read through 3 sessions of activities which are ‘Learning and Living the Gospel’ page, ‘Serving Others’ page and ‘Developing Talents’ page, then write down 2 ideas that they would like to do in the Activity Days.
We were brainstorming the ideas about what they want to do this upcoming year.
This took up the entire hour, and we ended up with some great ideas for future activities.
Anyway, Issac is going to turn 12 this year, thus both of us have to work hard in completing the necessary requirements of this ‘Faith in God’ Program for him.
