Priesthood IQ
M3L12
There's a song by Steven Kapp Perry, "Power to Serve," 4 minutes long (on the album He Gives Me Strength) which goes well with this lesson. Using the letters in the word “Priesthood” begin the lesson by asking the class to list everything they know about the Priesthood – From their list you, add if you need to the following topics and as they are listed you can talk about each of them. Priesthood Power Restored, Received by prophecy and the Laying on of Hands, Righteous Priesthood Holder, Inherit all that God has if we live worthy of this blessing Eternal Blessings, Enable mortals to act in God’s name Source of the Blessings? Sustain, Sacrament Through the Priesthood We Receive Heirs, Chosen Heirs Offices of the Priesthood, (Two Priesthoods) Ordinances & Oil Oath & Covenant– God Promises, They Promise Differences & Duties Here is something I did as an advisor before General Conferences. I even used this to teach a lesson in R.S. once and it was a big hit. A great FHE game too Go to your ward library and find pictures of the Quorum of the Twelve and First Presidency. On the back there is information re: their lives, education, hobbies, etc. I'd show the class a picture and give them information about that person. You’d be surprised at how many faces they did not know, but by the end of the hour they could tell me almost all of them. We had a lot of fun and had some interesting ways of remembering names, like this man’s name is something we do not drink (Maxwell House Coffee-Neal A. Maxwell). or “This person was from my home town (the girls knew where I was from), he taught seminary, he loves birds, he was called to be a general authority at the age of ___ (I can’t remember the answer here). And so on. Then they’d have to tell me who it was. (Boyd K. Packer). This person’s name is the opposite of how Andrea feels about Violin (which he loved too) David B. Haight). This man kind of looks like a famous popcorn man (Marvin J. Ashton) and this man will be the next President (at the time it was President Hinckley). (You can tell how long ago I was an advisor :-} I tried to use things that meant something to the girls so they’d remember. The next General Conference we’d do it again and they’d be so excited that they knew who the apostles were and I just keep adding things to the list of what they could learn about that person.
Here's a fun game to play before Conference: See how many
"middle" names you know. Bonus-which two have the same middle name??????? And
which apostles share a name? And does anyone share a name of a previous prophet? Background by: Grandma George
