Learning and Living the Gospel-October

As we get ready to have conference this month it seemed fitting to focus on Learning and Living the Gospel. This one is easy for the boys to do and can be done at home. It states "Read a recent conference address given by a prophet. Decide what you can do to follow the prophet, and do it." The boys could just listen to conference this weekend and decide what they can do to follow the prophet. It is a great opportunity as parents to have a meaningful talk with our kids about what the prophet has asked of us. Another one that most boys are doing right now, is in developing talents. It says to plan a physical fitness program for yourself that may include learning to play a sport or game. Participate in the program for one month. It is soccer and football season, and we are getting ready to head into basketball season. These activities count for this one. Thanks parents and have fun!

September- Developing Talents

This month we are working on Developing Talents. It states: Write a poem, story, or short play that teaches a principle of the gospel or is about Heavenly Father's creations. The Bears will be doing this on September 13 from 3:30-4:30 at the church. They will talk about sharing your world with wildlife, and then write something to go with it. The boys can write anything to do with nature, family, religion, after all everything is God's creation. This is also one that connects with the Religious Square Knot patch.

August Activities-Learning and Living the Gospel

This month we are going to complete an activity in Learning and Living the Gospel. If the boys Learn to sing "Choose the Right" (Hymns, no. 239), explain what agency is and what it means to be responsible for your choices. Then discuss how making good choices has helped you develop greater faith. The Bears will be completing this one on August 18 included in their "Ways we Worship" activity.
