I should do things on the Sabbath that will help me stay close to Heavenly Father.

August 19, 2012




In Sharing Time on Sunday, the children learned about keeping the Sabbath Day holy.  It began with the scriptural account of the Israelite children and the food from Heaven, Manna, the Lord sent to them each morning.  On the sixth day they were blessed with twice as much Manna so they could gather it and prepare ahead of time for the Sabbath Day.  

The senior primary children also memorized the scripture, Exodus 20:8 which reads

 "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy."  

The best way to help individuals and families keep the Sabbath holy is to PREPARE.  Primary children were given the opportunity to choose items from a box.  The items represented ways or things that could be done on the Sabbath, or things that might be better to do on other days of the week, and to help them prepare for Sunday.  Each child was able to choose which day to place their item.  The primary was challenged to think of ways to keep the Sabbath holy and to help their families keep it as well.
